Peace be upon the seekers of truth.

Does someone know how to write poetry? I'm so rubbish at this stuff and I need some serious help!
 
:sl:

Let the words flow. Write whatever is on our mind. Don't think twice. Do that when you are reviewing what you've written.

you just write what you feel
forming words, make a meal
think not twice, place a seal
set a standard others desire to steal


literally 8-9 seconds...

sis liuyu gave good advice mashaAllah

assalamu alaikum

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool mashAllah
 
yup take the above advice

and just pay particular attention to a certain subject and just go with the flow
 
Ok here was a two minute job...

We think we gonna live forvever
pilin up the dough and leather
workin day and night we're mad
jus to buy that classy jag

but did it ever cross our minds
each soul has its appointed time
none can choose when it will go
but all will leave thats for sure

--> OK, in order to write a poem, you gotta feel strongly about the subject if you dont...where you gonna find the words and emotion from? just pick something that gets you going...and let it out Insha'Allah. Salaam

P.S @ all members...am on a smiley strike, not gonna use smilies from now Insha'Allah, jus gimme a kick if I ever do lol

Remember, a good poem does not have to rhyme, and a rhyme is not always a good poem. It's the meaning behind the words and how you express that meaning that is important.
Just my opinion, I'm not exactly the best poet, most of the 'poetry' I've written is about how bad cows are...

I'm not even going to ask lol

The best advice I can give is to find a subject your passionate about. Let the words come out. Don't think about them. Then re-draft it but be careful not to lose the true meaning you wrote to begin with :)

Personally, I think that a true poet can't 'learn' to write poetry. It has to come from within them, all poets will know what I mean. :D

you mean poetry is a talent? lol
i always thought it was a skill?!
to be honest i have seen some pretty awful poetry, i think it happens when people try too hard..

Assalamu Alaikum

Exactly, no matter how hard people try to write poetry or to understand it, if they haven't got it within them then the poetry won't be 'true' LOL if u get me...

Selam aleykum,

lol I believe writing poetry is a gift... Although some aren't aware they actually posses it.

To write poetry you gotta have a good vocabulary. :D And if you don't have, like me here, you gotta read some dictionaries... lol I'm serious. imsad

And as someone said, it doesn't have to rhyme. Like think about something wonderful or beautiful, and try to explain it with beautiful words and metaphors... As I said, use new interesting words, even from another language one or two, or even more.
