How To Write A Poem: A Comprehensive Guide
How To Write A Poem
Don't.
A poem should not have to be written.
Instead, it should be improvised.
Simply start writing words that go together.
Forget implementing a generic rhyme scheme.
Just take it line by line.
Either write when you are full of emotion, or completely devoid of it.
Ambivalent, apithetic writing can be ruggedly beautiful.
The way a cigarette in a gutter can be beautiful.
Keep your writing crude and visceral.
Ignore convention.
Make yourself mad at something trivial.
Write about how much you hate getting grass stains on the ceiling.
Write about hoow you hate getting ceilings on the grass stains.
And for the sake of poetry itself...
WRITE.
If you want to read some truly absurd poems, I suggest that you read a free sample from my eBook (titled Farm Ramblings) for sale on Amazon. You could also purchase the book, and read all 41 pages of insanely weird peotry.
