✎ Tip and Trick of the week ✎

╙═════๑♚๑══════╜

꧁✯Simplify word choice✯꧂

If you are a beginner and started to write poem, it can feel as if you have to use exclusively abstract words and flowery language in order to convey deeper meaning.

The fact of the matter is that sometimes the simplest language combined with clear, concrete images can make for a good poem.

Some of the best American poets use concrete words and simple language in order to construct affecting poetry.

There’s no need to rely on a thesaurus to find the right words for your poems. If you find yourself overwriting, scale back your language and focus on clear and concise verse.

꧁✯ , there are no rules✯꧂

There are no set rules in poetry. Give yourself the freedom to explore your craft and play with meaning and form.

Don’t hold yourself back or worry about the final product.

Some of your best work will come when you feel unconstrained and free to play.

꧁✯ Explore other types of creative writing ✯꧂

Writing poems doesn’t prevent you from exploring other forms of writing.

Supplement your poetry writing with nonfiction essays and short stories in your free time.

This will help your writing stay fresh and active.

Yes! Completely agree with this advice.

(Keep It Simple, Stupid)

It’s an advice they give us in every engineering class, but it applies to everything really, even writing. It applies to writing prose and I also agree that it equally applies to poetry.

Nothing inherently wrong with flowery or abstract language (not at all), but if it just detracts from the emotions, themes and style you’re trying to communicate, then it has no place being there. That’s my opinion as someone who only rarely writes poems anyway :sweat_smile:

I read "dear deaf readers and writers" and was a little confused ngl

I think the first advice is really important for beginners. Vocabulary takes time! You'll find your own, but nothing starts abstract. Very important piece of advice :two_hearts:
