The soul does not give rest! Feelings demand an exit! For creative people, these are happy moments. These poets to express their inner state easily select the right words and rhymes. Lines flow on paper. For people who are not sophisticated in versification, this is more difficult. Wrong words come to mind, feelings are soon lost, and the result of labor sometimes seems ridiculous.

The magic formula of versification: KNOW + FEEL + IMAGINE = CREATE

Know
What do you need to know to write better? First of all, remember what we know about the rhythm of the verse. Under the poetic size, understand the rules of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables in a line. Poetic formats are divided into two-syllable (trochee and iambic) and three-syllable (dactyl, amphibrach, and anapaest). It is the rhythm that distinguishes poetry from prose. We will not consider this item in detail. On the Internet, you can find a description of each poetic size with examples. Yes, the stage of learning rhythms can seem tedious and confusing. But the main thing is to learn to feel and distinguish between them. You don’t have to spend hours thinking about what type of words fit your chosen size. Once you have completed the skill, everything will go much smoother.

Another secret is the knowledge and application of various artistic means. Metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, allegory, comparison - these are just a small list of visual techniques that make poems less flat. A powerful impulse for you will be the daily reading of poetry. It is a crucial stage! Without it, do not hope to compose anything worthwhile.  You will feel that after reading your favorite poet, you will begin to speak in verse. Try to alternate the classics and creativity of modern authors. Acquaintance with different styles and forms will increase the quality of your poems and make them less uniform.

Feel

Naturally, they always write about what excites. Poems "written by the intellect", without a soul, cannot attract anyone's attention. Even for you, they will not be of any value. Make feeling the main dominant of your creativity. Thoughts guided by a living feeling will become more precise, words brighter. Ask yourself: "What exactly am I feeling at the moment?"

Imagine

The development of imagination, imaginative, and associative thinking is a necessary skill that will allow you to create unexpected and catchy images. Someone has it well developed. But if you feel that your weak point is here, start training it. The level of your poems depends to no small extent on this.

Useful Tips

1. Improve your overall literacy. Correcting them in verses is often impossible.

2. Rhymes must be accurate. In a good rhyme, the stressed vowel and the consonants following it coincides. If at first, it is difficult for you to invent them, refer to the electronic dictionaries of rhymes.

3. Expand your vocabulary. It's simple: read-read-read! Books are not only a storehouse of intellectual knowledge but also a source of words for your vocabulary. Improving vocabulary - the path to freedom! It will also be useful to refer to dictionaries of synonyms.
4. Write as often as possible. Your skill level directly depends on how regularly you practice. Write 100 verses, and a few of them, believe me, will be amazing. Remember the words of E. Hemingway: "I write one page of a masterpiece on ninety-one pages of crap, and then my goal is to throw the crap into the trash."

5. Wow writing appeals. The question arises: what to write? But did you know that messages are a whole genre of literary works? All the great classic poets wrote poetry. You always have something to say to your friends, so why not do it in verse? They will be pleased.
