"噢噢.Aaaaahhh," our children squatted when we went to Habitat for Humanity's homes with our gentle clothes donated. The flashing lights are covered with a lace-like house, the image of Santa Claus, his reindeer, and the light-spotted trees that play in the front yard. Some streets look like New York or Las Vegas, they have a lot of lights, but Florida has to make up for the lack of snow.
The December holiday is coming, and depending on your culture and family tradition, they will create a variety of occasions, ceremonies and events. I think this is a perfect time to cover these types of poetry and poetry.
Occasional poetry
More is the type of poetry than the form of poetry, and occasional poetry records an occasion. Although they are most often written about special occasions such as weddings and childbirth, they may also be to win the game or toast cookies with grandma.
Historical introduction
As long as there are occasions, there will be occasional poetry. Whenever you find written language and cultural literature in history, you may find someone writing a poem about an occasion.
must have
- Write an occasion, that's it.
What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
- Any form [or no specific form] as long as you follow the rules of the form [if you use it].
- Any rhyme [or no rhyme], unless you use a form, you follow the rhyming plan of the form.
- Any meter [or no meter set], unless you use the form, then you follow the meter required for that form.
- The length can be long or short. However, if you use a form, the form may specify a length.
Ritual poem
At first glance, a ritual poem may seem similar to an occasional poem. We have specific things every morning, and these things are essentially the norm. The ritual poem is actually very spiritual; a way of connecting with God.
Historical introduction
Like the poems above, ritual poems are as old as sacred rituals and can be found in many places.
must have
There are two variants of ritual poetry. One is simply to mention rituals, spiritual projects or holy places. The second is like a list of instructions for a ceremony. Teacher and writer poetry form manual There are wonderful modern examples of such poems, as well as a series of instructions. This is an excerpt:
Inspired by the recent eclipse, a student wrote this ceremony poem:
Eclipse Ritual
1. Turn off the lights and leave a satellite for everyone.
Pretend that your face is the sun, put the moon in front of it.
Say dark and dark, close your eyes.
4. Say ECLIPSE ECLIPSE ECLIPSE ECLIPSE.
Then wear dark clothes to become one.
When writing this ritual poem, keep the following in mind:
1. Decide what occasion you want.
2. Check all aspects of the subject.
3. Think about actions to illustrate some of these aspects.
4. Write each operation as a command.
5. Number the order.
6. Let go.
[Pajgit 157]
What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
As you can see in the example above, if you don't want to write, you don't have to write a religious ceremony, but you will want to choose a moment that may convey a spiritual feeling.
Event poem
Event poetry is another form of poetry and is a list of numbers. In ritual poetry, it contains some kind of ritual. However, an event poem does not contain events.
Historical introduction
"The event poetry appeared in the late 1950s, and the events that coincided with the art form were called "events." In fact, an event poem can be seen as the writing of an event equal to "the thing that happened" [Padgett] 74 What happened was a drama without conspiracy, in which something weird happened. The event poem uses an ordinary object that lists and is related to the weird things.
must have
- Write an object.
- Start with a verb. No verbs [yes, yes, now, once, etc.]. Only action here!
- At least three lines.
- You usually don't do anything about the objects in the poem.
An example of my favorite form of poetry:
Pineapple event poem
1. Cut the pineapple into two halves and use the two halves as earmuffs on a cold winter day.
2. Peel off 100 pineapple skins and stick them to the floor as tiles.
3. Cut five small round lozenges on the pineapple skin and sew them on the jacket as buttons.
Look at the pineapple. It looks like the torch of the Statue of Liberty.
5. Feel the pineapple. It feels like a suede sneaker at the foot of a very large child.
[Pajgit 75]
What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
- Any object.
- Any length greater than 3 lines.
- Rhythm or not [although most don't].
note
Try using this type of poem as a way to practice creative thinking, or a fun way to beat a writer.
