One of the most important things about writing poetry, is that you’re enjoying it. And if you’re not, you may as well put away your pen, an paper, because there’s pretty much NO point in wasting yours and your reader’s time. If like me, you’re writing poems practically
everyday, then admittedly it can become a bit mechanical, or maybe even stale, which is why you have to be absolutely loving life when at your desk. So let me share with you my three favourite poetry techniques that I use to keep my poems fresh every time I go over them!
Remember, these may help you too but as I always say...
everything creative is subjective so make sure you take the time to find your own voice and style and figure out what you do that makes you smile when reading your own poetry.
1. Never overthink your first drafts.
2. Metre. How many times have you sat singing a song over and over again? Because its a catchy tune right? Are there any poems you know off by heart? Can you think of any off the top of your head right now? I’ll wait. Now be honest, can you identify it being in any metre?
3. Rhyme. Remember, these are MY favourite techniques. All the cool kids say poems don’t need to rhyme, but luckily I’ve never been one of the cool kids. If you’re an avid reader of mine, or want to head over to my instagram or maybe read a collection of mine cough, available now on my website or amazon then it will not take you long at all to see that I love implementing rhyme. It’s all over my work. In 97% of it i’d say! It just challenges my brain, it makes me smile, and whenever I read rhymes in poetry I’m always impressed by the
wordsmithery. That’s a word, I swear.
I hope by now I’ve hit home about Metre and Rhyme. If you’ve been following my videos as they release chronologically, I hope you’ve learnt everything you need to know about them as I will
probably be moving onto a few more advanced techniques and teachings now, and if you’re watching this in the future, hello future follower and friend. Please do not be alarmed when you
watch my videos if they crop up again (which they shall) because they're my foundational principles as a poet and wanted to really drill them in.
Remember that you need to love what you’re doing, and at the root of this video, I’m trying to tell you that you should be having fun with your writing and exploration. So study your own work and see if you notice any patterns. The only person who can tell you what you like and don’t like is you! The answers are in your words.
Let me know if you liked this video, and if you’re a super student, leave me a rose emoji in the comments to let me know you watched until the very end!

I share my work across social medias such as Instagram and now Tik Tok too, so do follow me on there, I want more friends!
See you next week.

I wrote some notes on the video :P Writing every day can became stale and repetitive. It is essential to enjoy the time you are writing. Disclaimer: Anything creative is subjective, therefore what works for one person may not work for another. Find what works for YOU personally; experiment with it. 1. Never Overthink your First Draft - before your write the words, there are certain things you need to be thinking about. - for example, “What is my subject going to be?”, “Do I want to write in a specific form?”, “Is there a certain meter/rhythm I want to work in?” - Once these things are decided, just start writing, don’t overthink, let the words write themselves. 2. Writing in a Meter/rhythm - Most memorable/catchy songs and poems have a very clear rhythm to them. Think of the types of poems and songs you know off by heart, that get stuck in your head. - Meter is effective even in free-form poems. It is not essential, but it can transform a poem from a clump of sentences to a poetic masterpiece. 3. Rhyme - Even in a free form poem or another type of poem that does not usually incorporate rhyming, rhyming is a great tool to use when you are stuck on a poem. Sometimes just going onto Rhymezone.com, or even just looking at a thesaurus, is a great way to remind your brain of other words that exist, and it can really light up a poem. Hope this is helpful :P

I missed this video. Great stuff, Adam.

@theaussieperson369 2 года назад

(rose left) Okay, I will admit that I am only learning at the ripe, old age of 53. Tell me, Adam, when you talk about 'meter' and the te DUm (as in a foot), does that mean all of your lines should have an equal number of syllables?

@funfings842 Год назад

I'm not Adam, but as someone who took Literature in highschool, I think 'meter' refers to having an intentional rhythm or pattern that you use within your lines. This can mean making each line have the same number of syllables, such as 7,7,7,7, but it can also mean creating a contrasting pattern, such as 7, 5, 7, 5. Also, an effective meter can be achieved without even using syllable numbers. A general rule of thumb I like to use, is that if you are able to comfortably speak the lines of your poem on a steady beat, the poem has a clear meter. The below example is an example of a poem with a meter that does not necessarily have the same syllables on each line. (all the capital letters in the poem below represent a down beat, which is the part of a sentence/word that is accentuated when you say them outloud, if that makes sense) If you need any clarification on what I mean, feel free to ask. she's DAncing at the PArty LIke nobody's WAtching, BUt she's KINda HOping THAT they SEE. GLANcing out the CORner OF her EYE to their TABLe, each one OF her SPINS are DESperate, SILent PLEAS Hope this makes sense?

Thanks for this video. I know I'm years late. I've going through a deeply difficult crisis with writing. Trying to keep going.

@redsol3629 4 месяца назад

It sounds like you reached what is called a "hard point" in your writing. Keep writing throughout this crisis and be kind to your self, a crisis means an inner shift. A chance to grow.

@@redsol3629 Thanks for the comment, I truly appreciate it.

There are times when I despise life and yet the pen still moves but the poetry is not good. I am glad nobody will ever see those poems.
