RGstar: AS I return I leave you with one thought that i live and write by; Good Poetry is ''Saying something without saying it'' Yes, its my quote yet, if we all mastered this, we would become better poets by far. Good day all! |

RGstar: NOTHING IS SADDER THAN SONGS WHICH CANNOT BE HEARD,BEAUTY THAT CANNOT BE SEEN BUT FOR NOISE OF THE MADDENING CROWD THAT SCREAM ONLY TO ITSELF IN HOPE OF A GLORY WHICH ONLY ITSELF BELIEVES. So dull the path where concrete blocks replace flowers, where beauty of mind is forgotten, and all that is left is a staircase to a glory of which is not glorified... bound...though sad the sound...a desolate climb through own fear. But...there is hope that one day, the rhyme will appear, the flowers will grow, trees will once again know the reason they are trees, and so thrive, thus all around them shall appear new growth. Once again there will be joy in walking that path, where all things of beauty surround. Until then, dear friends, until then... |

RGstar: A BETTER POET? Now, as far as poems go, there are no rights or wrongs , but there is form, structure, feel, and delivery. In amongst that lot, somewhere, there is what I call; the 'soul' of the writing. You challenge your mind, and deliver your thoughts. That is what you do. Your thoughts are not the soul. Your thoughts are vessels of communication that need molding in order to create the emotion that appeals to the conscious, and unconscious mind....in this case, the reader. Sometimes, thoughts alone cannot deliver the emotion needed when writing a poem. You need to develop its 'soul' Nouns are, in a sense, static and stationary, robust and full-proof. They do not bend or move unless you bend them.... with mostly, GOOD adjectives. Yet, be careful. Many new poets, and many old, (who should know better) sometimes tend to over compensate their poetry with TOO MANY adjectives. An adjective can be the light of a poem or the glaze of disaster. Chose your adjective well, and use it when it serves purpose, or there is a reason to believe you are just creating superficial decoration. With prose, you have time to develop and lull into a sense of feel, and direction. With poetry you have no time. You must formulate with only a few words, therefore the adjective becomes your most potent weapon, or you most poetic death. Use wisely friends. 'There is a difference between writing poetically and writing poetry.' When we truly grasp the difference, we will undoubtedly write better poems. RGstar - | |

PS I'm watching those adjectives ... hopefully looking for soul when I write. Sometimes I find it can be found in perhaps the not technically best poem, yet it moves me more than some with perfect technique. I do understand what you mean by decoration, writing poetically and writing poetry. I love constructive critique. Hugs - Lovi xoxox - | |

A structure does not give the write its heart, soul or life, it gives it a foundation, a base, a different way of building what needs to be said. In some cases... restrict, in others, enhance, depending on how the receiver hears or interprets it, influenced by its formulation. That is the beauty and power of words...so write your piece the way most natural to the idea and its projection for that moment you express it, in whatever you need to say, whatever the way most natural, for it is the soul and the heart of the write that matters, and difficulty or size of stucture does not gurantee sucess if you cannot say what needs to be said in the best way possible. It is what you say within that complexity... or simplicity... further more, how. So! David or Goliath, Huge or tiny, say it, it is what you say, and how you say it, that matters. This brings success, not the tool or base you use for that only aids sucess not give it. When buying or selling a house, the aura, layout and presentation of that house will determine whether you buy or sell, not the nails or brackets used to build it, yet, the foundations must be strong, or it may not stand, so balance well, most of all... say it well for, if not, even the best, strongest most known and trusted of structures will only aid, not enhance. POETRY VERSUS ORATION Poetry started with aural, known now as the 'spoken word' (identified form) and predates written poetry. Only when the means of writing further developed was thought... If could be heard, may have added dimension if seen-- as well as various other aspects, so make no bones about it, poetry should be heard. Yet! Oration...also vocal, is different from poetry reading. THE POET uses voice in an intense way to intensify his or her product, seeking the relevant intensity. THE ORATOR uses language in an exalted way ( high and powerful) in exaltation of his product. So the poet need not seek exaltation, nor the orator need seek intensity. Yet. it is easy to confuse the two when an oration is written in verse, as some are. Byron is an example of writing long verses for oration. It is said. Quote! ''Oration ''deals with public things'' whilst Poetry ''deals with the secret things of man'' and women, though man in this instant would mean both. Choose your theme, whatever the structure. Plan your delivery, and execute your message...find its heart and soul, thereby projecting its aura and direction in relation to your theme. That is your key to success. Good luck... and best wishes.
