Let’s Write a Poem Togheter!

To write poem books that sell millions of copies you need extraordinary talent but to write a fairly good poem you don’t have to be David Frost. The only way to find out you are a David Frost, an Emily Dickinson or the person who likes to write poetry and has fun doing it – is to write. Where should you begin? Let’s go over some techniques!

 Reread a poem you truly love. I love Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Arrow and the Song.  (Excerpt)

   Long, long afterward, in an oak

   I found the arrow, still unbroke;

   And the song, from beginning to end,

   I found again in the heart of a friend.

Ask yourself what you like about that poem you find very special. E.g.: I find this poem short and sweet. It makes me wonder.  Write down what you experience when you read your favorite poem.

In this case, I am fascinated by the theme of friendship.  I also like the surrealism captured in the poem. The arrow is real, the song is real, but shooting them in the air is surreal.

Find a topic that gets you very excited: maybe a hobby, a sport, love, friendship, religion, your job or the job you would like to have. Let’s choose friendship. Decide if your poem is going to challenge or entertain the reader. Let’s choose to entertain. Write words that come to mind when you get excited. He who finds a friend finds a treasure! Why is it so?

   Friendship is important in life.

   Do you have a special friend?

   What makes someone your friend?

Etcetera.

Write some sentences with those words. E.g.: My friend John makes me laugh.  Sometimes I wonder he acts restarted or is he naturally goofy? We spend time together playing tennis, by having lunch , coffee or drinks. We share jokes, tall tales and laughter. Life seems better when we are together having a happy moment or facing a sad one.

Sort the sentences. Decide what goes in the beginning, tin he middle and at the end. You need an exciting beginning to capture the reader’s attention. Enhance or rewrite that first lines. Note if you start with fireworks, you must end with dynamite. You must also sustain the body of the poem with turns and twists to continue to excite the reader. Draft and redraft until what you get is the desired results. Leave the poem alone for a day or two, then go back and finalize it. Try your poem on family, friends or co-workers. We did it! Here is our sample poem:

   You know, Champ, how to make me laugh.

   Occasionally you get into crazy situations

   So I rescue you doing things on your behalf.

   We’re tested by tough times and expectations.

   Everything is more colorful when you’re around.

   Like you, I probably drive you crazy as often.

   The good times we share always richly abound.

   I’ll be there for you, you there for me. Amen!
