[quote author=EverestdeBliu post=29494149][b] So far, we've talked about sound effects, and visual effects. Others have talked about structural effects. Another important part of creating a poem is deciding on its content, or what the poem is actually saying. In the our next class we'll look at how writing a poem can, in many ways, be similar to writing a story. . Challenge: 1) Try writing some more difficult acrostic poems. 2) The Minute Poem -also called Traditional Minute poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff. 3) or choose a prompt and write a poem using any of the lessons you've learned so far from any teacher. Be sure to tag that teacher and any others you would like to review it. [/b]quote] in a private jdt already...thank guys, dont have any questions ...you are the greatests |

Samguine:[b]Some people believe poetry shouldn't be punctuated and others are still taught to put a comma after every new line. So where is the balance? What does one - especially one new or growing in poetry - do? Well, that's simple: a poet must punctuate with purpose! In order to punctuate with purpose, however, a poet must understand two things: what she wants to achieve with the poem and what a piece of punctuation can achieve in a poem. This means a poet must understand more than the common rules of punctuation; she must know the effect that certain punctuation points can have on a reader or in a text. This overview tackles punctuation in poetry from a practical standpoint, but it's important to note that while there are "rules" for punctuation, and while there are even some "rules" for poetry, there are no set-in-stone conventional rules for punctuation in poetry. There are schools of thought, and linguistic philosophy runs amuck, but there is nothing definitive to say "This is right!" or "This is wrong!" With that in mind, please approach the following as a general guide for making better decisions about writing. Remember : real writing doesn't begin until you stop writing from instinct and start making decisions. To Punctuate, or Not to Punctuate: that is the Question No Punctuation When first learning to perform Shakespeare, many students are (or should be) introduced to the concept of end-stopped lines and run-on lines. A good teacher will explain that his sonnets and plays, though often (but not always) bound by meter, are meant to be acted and understood by following the punctuation - not (necessarily) the line breaks or rhyme schemes. It's a difficult concept to grasp, when beginning to read Shakespeare aloud, because the end of a line seems like a great place to pause or take a breath; it feels natural, based on the way we read prose. The concept works like this: an end- stopped line is a line where there is a punctuation mark or point at the end. When reading these lines, the actor or student should pause with the punctuation - some sort of "stop" at the end - before moving on to reading or performing the next line.[/b] |

So far so good, tonight, we've covered white space, line breaks, stanzas and capitals at the beginnings of lines, And remember i said the “rules” can be broken, but it’s very very important to know the conventions of poetry well. So does anyone has any question before I go? |

[b]capital letters in poems Playing with capital letters and punctuation can be fun. These are both important ingredients in a poem. The great thing about writing a poem is you get to choose what you want to do. Some poets begin every line with a capital letter. Some poets never begin a line with a capital letter. Some poets use capital letters in a poem like they do in a story to show the beginning of a sentence. If you use capitals down the side all the time it can stop the flow of the poem. Nowadays poets are less likely to do this. Sometimes young poets give a capital letter to a word in the middle of a line. This can make it stand out. Think about why you want to do this. Think about why you use capitals down the left-hand side. Do they look good? Do they shout a bit at the reader? Do they add to the rhythm? Do they stop the flow? Be consistent. Once you make a capital-letter choice it helps the reader if you stick with that choice throughout the poem — unless you want to write a poem that misbehaves with punctuation (some poets do! although not that often). [color=#000099]While poets can choose what rules they choose to ignore and those they don't in there own work, it is important to know what tradition dictates too.[/quote][/b] |

Vibra:[b]you don't break lines in poetry, the reason must appeals to the readers.... For example: Line 1. With his own sword, (we use sword to cut, so that causes the line break,). |

[b]Stanzas Examples in English Poetry On the basis of a fixed number of lines and rhyming scheme, traditional English language poems have the following kinds of stanzas: Couplet- consists of two rhyming lines having the same meter. Tercet- comprises three lines following a same rhyming scheme a a a or have a rhyming pattern a b a. Sir Thomas Wyatt introduced tercet in 16th century. Quatrain- is a form of stanza popularized by a Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, who called it a Rubai. It has common rhyming schemes a a a a, a a b b, a b a b. Quintain- also referred to as cinquain is a stanza of five lines which may be rhymed or unrhymed and has a typical stress pattern. Its invention is attributed to Crapsey. Sestet- is a kind of stanza that consists of six lines. It is the second division of Italian or sonnets of Petrarch following an octave or the first division comprising eight lines. In a sonnet, a sestet marks a change of emotional state of a poet as they tend to be more subjective in the second part of the sonnet.[/b] |

Stanza In poetry, a stanza is a division of four or more lines having a fixed length, meter or rhyming scheme. Stanzas in poetry are similar to paragraphs in prose. Both stanzas and paragraphs include connected thoughts and are set off by a space. The number of lines varies in different kinds of stanzas but it is uncommon for a stanza to have more than twelve lines. The pattern of a stanza is determined by the number of feet in each line and by its metrical or rhyming scheme. |

[/b]The line break and within 'must/n't' allows a double reading of the word as both 'must' and 'mustn't', whereby the reader is made aware that old age both enjoins and forbids the activities of youth. At the same time, the line break subverts 'mustn't': the forbidding of a certain activity—in the poem's context, the moral control the old try to enforce upon the young—only serves to make that activity more enticing. While Cummings's line breaks are used in a poetic form that is intended to be appreciated through a visual, printed medium, line breaks are also present in poems predating the advent of printing. Some examples are to be found, for instance, in Shakespeare's sonnets; however, some Early Modernists[who?]would argue that such an effect wasn't consciously intended by Shakespeare to be read as line breaks, which arise from the advent of printing as a method of distribution, which has a contextual effect upon that which is to be distributed. Here are two examples of this technique operating in different ways in Shakespeare's Cymbeline: In the first example, the line break between the last two lines cuts them apart, emphasizing the cutting off of the head: With his own sword, Which he did wave against my throat, I have ta'en His head from him. — William Shakespeare, Cymbeline[/b] |

This excerpt is also filled with several line breaks. These include “the center cannot hold”, “and everywhere….” The poet takes the readers into surprising and multiple ideas. Example #5 Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck,boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away (Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley) This extract is also a good example of line breaks. These line breaks are providing dynamism to the poem, also giving breaks in the flow of reading. |

There are many line breaks within this extract. In line three, a line break cuts the two lines at, “I mete and dole”. Similarly, a break occurs in other lines like “I will drink…”, “all times I have enjoyed” and “I am become a name”. Example #3 My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drain.:…. That thou, Light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease (Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats) |

[b]Examples of Line Break from Literature Example #1 With his own sword, Which he did wave against my throat, have ta’en His head from him I am absolute Twas very Cloten (Cymbeline by WilliamShakespeare) There are two line break examples in the given passage. One line break cuts the lines in the middle of the second line. Another line break is used in the fourth line, “I” being a person has an absolute meaning. These line breaks are determining the visual shape of this text. Example #2 Match’d with an aged wife,I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees:All times have enjoy’d Greatly, I have suffer’d greatly both with those That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when Vext the dim sea: I am become a name Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments (Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson)[/b] |

Did you ever notice how groups of people can sound like robots when they say the same thing at the same time? It is understandable how this happens as a group reads together, but this is not really a good way to read poems. Robot-read words lose meaning. When we read aloud or in our heads, it is important that we hold onto the meaning and read with that in mind. Do not read like a robot as you read line breaks in your own or others' poems. Do pay close attention to line breaks and white space. Notice how a poet makes decisions. Do the repeating lines all look alike? Does one word or one line stand all by itself? Do lines go down the page in a certain way? Why do you think the poet did this? Read like a human being with emotions and a thinking mind, not like some programmed machines. (Did you see how I put that one sentence on a line all by itself?) |

[b]Line Breaks and White Space in Poems One of the most obvious things we can notice about poems is that they look different from prose (or non-poems). Poems have shorter lines than paragraphs, and they are surrounded by white space. The place where a poet chooses to end one line and begin another is called a line break. Thus, the ends of lines are called "line breaks." White space is the area around the poem. If you were writing on a red piece of paper, I suppose you could call it "red space," but we really do call it "white space." Line breaks and white space help readers know how to read a poem out loud and inside their heads. Sometimes one makes a weeny pause at the end of a line, to honor the rhythm and emphasis placed there by the poet. However, poems are not meant to have huge pauses at the end of each line, and they should not be read like a whole class of students yelling something like; "GOOD MORNING MISTER SO- and -SO![/b] |
