The Groupon Guide to: Poemtry
"Poetry is the science of the heart," said noted poem master Robert "2 Cold" Frost. He simply meant that poetry is the most science-like of all the arts, as it can be broken down into its base elements, categorized, and reverse engineered under laboratory conditions. Here's a guide to creating your own works of rhyming heart science:
Find Your Genre There are three basic genres of poetry:
- Inspirational: Uplifts the spirit with references to clouds and the birds that eat them.
- Terrorfying: Includes works such as "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Grier.
- Slam: Conveys a deep, personal message through the medium of shouting.
Put the Words Together Without exception, all poems share one basic trait: they must rhyme. Early poets rhymed every single word, but today's lazy poets rhyme only a few words at the end of every other sentence.
Once you've selected your base, or "rhyme words," add some metaphors. A metaphor is when one thing, usually something from nature such as a sunbeam or a skeleton, stands for something else—and this other thing is always freedom.
Publish or Perish Don't leave your poems rotting in a drawer (they will attract flies). Instead, send them to one of the hundreds of busy poetry publishers that are eager to pay handsomely for your couplets. Or, earn a living writing today's modern poetry—television police procedurals.
