Poetry and Poems

I know poems are supposed to rhyme but it seems that when i write poems they seem tacky and too rhymy. But i know im a good writer because i can just flow words out when im writing things other than poems. I want to write poems cuz i know they are a way of expressing emotions and i need to do that at this point in my life. Please let me know how to write a poem correctly without it being tacky or rhyming too much. Thanks!

Then flow with it. That’s where you start. You don’t have to be conscious of your words as it springs out of you. I suggest that you look at the other side of things, liberate yourself from the usual meter and rhyme by using adjectives or adverbs. Use figures of speech and experiment. You might also want to change the composition of letters or the order of words.
Avant Garde I’m sure you can do it!

I need to write an imitation poem on two poems. I already did one of them. When I say imitation poems, I mean like what kind of poem would be really easy to use the same idea as to write another poem similar. For example, I did my first imitation on the Carl Sandburg poem "Chicago" and wrote an imitation about a famous city. Give me a poem like with that idea.

If I use your idea, you get 10 points for best answer!

"My last duchess" by Robert Browning. You could play on the "My last …" idea and do it in heroic couplets for the full effect. It’ll go down well with your teacher, trust me.

Gone ’08

My eyes crusty with the salty tears that now run down my cheeks
And your sitting so close to me, but I cant feel your warmth
Its because of her, everything was always about her
There was always someone else in the way of me and you
You didnt feel a thing when you saw me in pain
You just walked away, and said we were through
And I hate your grin of cockyness that says you always want more
Your annoying voice makes me cringe when I hear it, I fall to the floor
Get away from me, I cant stand the sour taste
Of listening to you complain about all your heartbreak
I used to miss you, like I was missing a part of me
That was before you admited you lied, that you never cared for me
I cant feel you here anymore
Your so out of reach
I know you never meant to stay here with me
And I let you in, told you everything
What a stupid thing to do
You used to need me there to save you
But now Im more broken than ever, and theres nothing you can do
Because I was nothing but a game to you
Ill never feel right, with you gone
Even though we both knew it was always wrong
this poem I wrote about my ex boyfriend who went to tokyo.
can someone please answer this?
I want to know what you think about this poem.

Hi Mandy……. I feel your pain throughout and the sense of betrayal and loss as well.
I truly think that you are evolving…. I would really think about writing short stories…. you have the passion and emotion needed to write something people could read and relate to.
I think you should consider this and give it a try…..there are limitless possibilities

We all must be
Such empty things
Oblivious
Uncaring
Like myself
Such
Fragile
Broken
Shattered
Things
Spewn accross this world
Living for the next day
Oblivious
The masses
Cheers to us
And
This unseemly witty devil’s work
That we call government

i need to write a poem that invcludes 1 presonfivactin 1 simile adn 2 metahpor and it had to be ten lines

This is very simplistic and not a complete definition by any meas but

A metaphor can be
"a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” Compare."
think "snakes in my stomach" "lightning in my veins" "his unshaven face was sandpaper against my porcelain skin"

An easy way to get a metaphor is to write a simile and take out the "like"

A simile would be "my wife’s hands were like porcelain"
A metaphor would be "my wife’s hands were porcelain," or "my wife’s porcelain hands"

So make a simile by saying something is "like" something else,
Make a metaphor by removing the "like"; so the "something" is "something" else.

As far as personification goes: you might want to give something human qualities.
Example "the apple tree stared at me when I walked past"
"The candy was eyeing and pleading with me to break my diet."
I hope this helps.
good luck

pieces of my soul strewn on the floor
shards of memories, blades of words

cutting my skin, i am lost
we are all lost

searching for someone to search for us
helpless and pathetic

where are we?
never to be found

we are disoriented and high
high on inanity, low on profoundness

where are we?
where will we be?

is this a good poem?? can you interpret its meaning??

the same poem can have a completely different meaning for different people. if you write one thing, someone might interpret it as something other than what you meant. to them, it might jog memories or feelings that you never thought of when you wrote it.

this poem to me is about a person who is pretty lost and confused. they know they are lost and need help and they are wondering about what is going to happen to them in the future.

i think it is really good but the rhythm of the 7th line is a bit funny and could use a bit of work.
still – i really like it.
