How I write my Poems

[Karim_Rap_4_life]

Hi every body I wish you're doing good...hey Poem writters I guess this is benificial to you and you need to read it.....I mean to provide help that's all...

First of all I want to say that Poem has terms that poet need to respect in order to make a great poem those who want to be heavy in the poetry field need to study terms and bases fo poetry

first I would like to start with the rhymes:

• Rhyme
The occurrence of the same or similar sounds at the end of two or more words. When
the rhyme occurs in a final stressed syllable, it is said to be masculine: cat/hat,
desire/fire, observe/deserve. When the rhyme occurs in a final unstressed syllable, it is
said to be feminine: pleasure/leisure, longing/yearning. The pattern of rhyme in a stanza
or poem is shown usually by using a different letter for each final sound. In a poem with
an aabba rhyme scheme, the first, second, and fifth lines end in one sound, and the
third and fourth lines end in another.

There are many kinds of rhymes and these are the most famous ones.

1_End rhyme or terminal rhyme
2_Half rhyme or pararhyme or near rhyme
3_Masculine rhyme or strong rhyme
4_Feminine rhyme or weak rhyme or double rhyme
5_Internal rhyme or middle rhyme
6_Full rhyme or ordinary rhyme
7_Visual rhyme or eye rhyme
8_Polysyllabic rhyme
9_Triple rhyme
10_Rhyme the same sound
01_ End Rhyme __________Appears in the end of the lines.
02_ Half Rhyme ________Flip/ Flop - Leaves/ Lives.
03_Full Rhyme ___________Sing/ Ring/ King.
04_Masculine Rhyme ____Desire/ Conspire - Concentrate/ Felicitate.
05_Feminine Rhyme ______Morrow/ Sorrow - Finger/ Linger.
06_Polysyllabic Rhyme ____ Elation/ Sensation - Intersection/ Affection.
07_Triple Rhyme _________Laborious/ Victorious - Sufficiently/ Deficiency.
08_Eye Rhyme ___________Bone/ One.
09_Middle Rhyme _________Appears in the middle of the lines.
10_Sound Rhyme _________Sight/ Site.

and these are other terms of the poetry

• Alexandrine
A line of poetry that has 12 syllables. The name probably comes from a medieval
romance about Alexander the Great that was written in 12-syllable lines.

• Anapest
A metrical foot of three syllables, two short (or unstressed) followed by one long (or
stressed), as in seventeen and to the moon. The anapest is the reverse of the dactyl.

• Conceit
A fanciful poetic image or ****phor that likens one thing to something else that is
seemingly very different. An example of a conceit can be found in Shakespeare's
sonnet "target="_blank">Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" and in Emily
Dickinson's poem "There is no frigate like a book."

• Dactyl
A metrical foot of three syllables, one long (or stressed) followed by two short (or
unstressed), as in happily. The dactyl is the reverse of the anapest.

• Foot
Two or more syllables that together make up the smallest unit of rhythm in a poem. For
example, an iamb is a foot that has two syllables, one unstressed followed by one
stressed. An anapest has three syllables, two unstressed followed by one stressed.

• Free verse (also vers libre)
Poetry composed of either rhymed or unrhymed lines that have no set meter.

• Heptameter
A line of poetry that has seven metrical feet.

• Heroic couplet
A stanza composed of two rhymed lines in iambic pentameter.

• Hexameter
A line of poetry that has six metrical feet.

• Iamb
A metrical foot of two syllables, one short (or unstressed) and one long (or stressed).
There are four iambs in the line "Come live/ with me/ and be/ my love," from a poem by
Christopher Marlowe. (The stressed syllables are in bold.) The iamb is the reverse of
the trochee.

• Iambic pentameter
A type of meter in poetry, in which there are five iambs to a line. (The prefix pentameans
"five," as in pentagon, a geometrical figure with five sides. Meter refers to
rhythmic units. In a line of iambic pentameter, there are five rhythmic units that are
iambs.) Shakespeare's plays were written mostly in iambic pentameter, which is the
most common type of meter in English poetry. An example of an iambic pentameter line
from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is "But soft!/ What light/ through yon/der
win/dow breaks?" Another, from Richard III, is "A horse!/ A horse!/ My king/dom for/ a
horse!" (The stressed syllables are in bold.)

• Masculine rhyme
A rhyme that occurs in a final stressed syllable: cat/hat, desire/fire, observe/deserve.

• Meter
The arrangement of a line of poetry by the number of syllables and the rhythm of
accented (or stressed) syllables.

• Pentameter
A line of poetry that has five metrical feet.


• Scansion
The analysis of a poem's meter. This is usually done by marking the stressed and
unstressed syllables in each line and then, based on the pattern of the stresses, dividing
the line into feet.

• Spondee
A metrical foot of two syllables, both of which are long (or stressed).

• Stanza
Two or more lines of poetry that together form one of the divisions of a poem. The
stanzas of a poem are usually of the same length and follow the same pattern of meter
and rhyme.

• Stress
The prominence or emphasis given to particular syllables. Stressed syllables usually
stand out because they have long, rather than short, vowels, or because they have a
different pitch or are louder than other syllables.

• Tetrameter
A line of poetry that has four metrical feet.

• Trochee
A metrical foot of two syllables, one long (or stressed) and one short (or unstressed). An
easy way to remember the trochee is to memorize the first line of a lighthearted poem
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which demonstrates the use of various kinds of metrical
feet: "Trochee/ trips from/ long to/ short." (The stressed syllables are in bold.) The
trochee is the reverse of the iamb.

• Verse
A single metrical line of poetry, or poetry in general (as opposed to prose).

• Versification
The system of rhyme and meter in poetry.

Ah Now how I find my rhymes!!!!!

Belive it or not I have my special notebook wherever I go I bear it with me I can't leave it because I need it....That damn notebook I need to hold it next to me even if I'm in the course of studying I grab it In the cafetiria in the garden in Univ in Library and wherever I got some rhymes on my maind I rush to write it down on my note book but I make a kind of circles and put eatch words that rhymes together in the same cirle for exemple words that ends by a sound of "iz" and other cirl of sound "uz" for exemple and The cirles still growing on when I get a big cirles I start my poem but some words I can't use at all because of the nature of the poetry I write for exemple If it is a words about Love so I can't use words of brutuality and so on......
another way I start writing my ideas and my views any time I Have the chance when the paper become full of words adn sentences I start to correct and make an appropriate rhymes in order to get a simple poem....
The problem I have is that I can't make similes and other figures of speeches but I think that only professionals could do that because I'm personally can't integrate similes very well and it's clear from my writing I attempted to understand the ways but no point in doing tha because I didn't get that.

If you want to know something about Figures of speech tell me to show you them precisely.
or something else tell me to bring some more.
Peace Up!!!
