REALLY ?? REALLY?? REALLY?? Let's go man!
First of all you will need to learn some rules. I know they are booring.
My favourite is the Free Verse Another know as; ABAB
Basicly the last word on each sentence should rhyme through the mall ABAB
Example:
Fernando Alonso always buy cars in pair {A}
Because his car is always off the way. {B}
Evrytime he crash, he cries in his lair. {A}
And being ther for the rest of the day. {B}
Another version of the Free verse is the AABB, It's pretty common in rap and such.
Exapmle:
Don't wait to beat the street {A}
Stay in school and keep your seat {A}
The entire eight parts of speech {B}
Will your reading, writing, and speaking teach! {B}
An advanced version of the Free Verse is the Limericks. It is based on five lines. AABBA
Example:
A flea and a fly in a flue (A)
Were caught, so what could they do? (A)
Said the fly, "Let us flee." (B)
"Let us fly," said the flea. (B)
So they flew through a flaw in the flue. (A)
Lets go to harder ones ;D
The Acrostic.
The rules are simple, Evry sentence should be on a line itself. Evry first letter in evry line should be a word when reading from top to bottom. And the word should connect with the poem itself.
Example:
Vanilla
As I eat it on my brownie
Not doubting it's sweet
Ice cream is a tasty treat
Lots of lingering taste
Lasting to the end
Always my favorite!
Now it's time for some japaneese rhymes.
Haiku, Usually connects to the nature in the subject of the poem, but there is no need for it. All Haiku have three lines. With a fixed number of syllables
Line 1= 5 syllables
Line 2= 7 syllables
Line 3= 5 syllables
Example:
The dying plant bends (5)
And drips its dew to the ground (7)
It falls like a tear (5)
Tanka - The second from japan that I know. Like the Haiku is use Syllables. Harder than the Haiku, and a more advanced poem.
Line 1= 5 syllables
Line 2= 7 syllables
Line 3= 5 syllables
Line 4= 7 syllables, rhymes with line 5
Line 5= 7 syllables, rhymes with line 4
Example:
I have my own place (5)
Where I can go for hours (7)
I go there to write (5)
It is not difficult to find (7) {A}
Search within your heart and mind. (7) {A}
One that I never really had been good at ;)
Cinquain - Based on five lines.
Line 1:Title - 2 syllables
Line 2: Description- 4 syllables
Line 3: Action- 6 syllables
Line 4: Feeling - 8 syllables
Line 5: Synonym for the title - 2 syllables
Example:
Flowers (2)
Pretty, fragrant (4)
Waiting, watching, weeding (6)
Enjoying all the while they grow (8)
Gardens (2)
There is also some kind of poems that are based on the shape. Diamonte poems are one of them. They are built by 7 lines. They following the following rules.
Line 1: Noun or subject
Line 2: Two Adjectives
Line 3: Three 'ing' words
Line 4: Four words about the subject
Line 5: Three 'ing words
Line 6: Two adjectives
Line 7: Synonym for the subject
Example:
Home
Safe, caring
Loving, sharing, talking
Friendship, food, car, travels
Living, loving, enjoying
Joyous, adventurous
Family
There are a lot more poems rules out there, But them are the only ones that I remember in my head for the moment. A long read I know :P
