Posted October 6, 2009

Writing poetry has always been about emotion; thrilling, bitterness and even humorous. Although it sounds simple enough, it isn’t always. Poetry can be as complicated or as frivolous possible, it’s all up to the author.
Poetry is food for thought and all food has its ingredients.
Writing poetry techniques
Show all senses. A genuine poem offers its readers a variety of senses to endure while reading.
- Smell. Give the readers a mental smell of the scene. Create a situation where the reader can distinguish between a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ scent.
- Touch. Is it rough, smooth, pleasurable? Give the reader a way to ‘touch’ the scenery.
- Sight. What does it look like? Describe the scenery, describe the situation. Use words which will describe it easily without going too far into detail.
- Hearing. Does it screech? Does it yelp? Or is it smoothing and sensual? Again, let the situation give a sense of what the surroundings sound like.
- Taste. Is it salty or bitter? It doesn’t always have to be food that has a taste. It could be a situation which leaves a ‘bad taste in your mouth’ or even a good taste.
