Table of Contents
Introduction
If youre just starting out, writing poetry can seem difficult. Many people simply dont know how to start. However, learning how to write poetry is no different than learning how to do anything else, and can easily be learned with a little bit of practice and patience. And it doesnt all have to be about love or feelings. It can simply be a new way of looking at something familiar.
Writing poetry is an extremely rewarding experience, and has been practiced since the beginning of humanity. It is a means of communicating abstract ideas, telling stories, and seeing the world in fresh and interesting ways. And the best part of all is that it doesnt require any fancy equipment or expensive lessons.
This instructional handbook will guide you step by step through the process of becoming a poet. By the time you reach the end, you will be seeing the world in a whole new way, and will be writing poems every day and loving doing it.
Notes on How to Use This Guide
Before taking on one of the exercises or activities in this guide, make sure you read all of the instructions over first. You should then read them again as you complete the activity.
This guide works best when you begin at the beginning and work to the end without skipping around. Dont skip over the beginning stuff! Its really important to your success as a poet.
After youve completed the course of this guide, dont be afraid to come back to it! Youll find that the information here will seem more and more useful every time you read it because youll be bringing all that youve learned to the table.
There is a glossary at the end of this guide containing some definitions of poetic terminology used throughout. Enjoy!
Tools Of The Trade
The first thing you need to do to write poetry is to collect the necessary tools to write. Luckily, they are all very inexpensive, and many people probably have them lying around their houses.
1. Select a Notebook
This may seem simple, but remember that this notebook will be very important to you, and you will be spending a lot of time using it. So, you should select one that is both sturdy and comfortable. Consider the following things when making your selection:
- Size: Your notebook should be portable, but big enough that you have room to write comfortable.
- Lined or Unlined: Some people prefer to draw outside the lines and work with unlined paper. Others prefer to organization of the lines. This is totally up to you.
- Soft or Hardcover: This is another matter of preference, but make sure that it will be both durable and comfortable enough for long term use.
