Writing Original Poetry
Poetry is a type of literature that uses rhythm, imagery, and figurative language to evoke emotions. Writing original poetry can be a fun and rewarding experience. There are some key elements to consider when starting out.
Firstly, it's important to choose a subject for your poem. This can be a specific event or emotion or something more abstract like a feeling or idea. Once you have a subject, think about the tone you want to convey through the poem. Is it happy or sad? Serious or light-hearted?
Next, consider the structure of the poem. Different types of poetry have different structures, such as sonnets, haikus, or free verse. Choose a structure that fits your subject and the tone you want to convey.
