can you also please edit this poem for me..this is a five line poem in a constructivist manner...my teacher gave me this example: Mother (first line write an noun of your choice) Caring and annoying (2 adjectives joined by and to describe the noun) Worrying continuously (Write a verb and adverb to describe this noun in action) Like a bird that is afraid (start 4th line with like or as followed by a comparison) If only I were a psychiatrist! (Start final line with if only followed by a wish)
And this is what i have wrote
Roses Innocent and gorgeous Blooming beautifully Like an expression of love If only they would live forever
can you please edit mine..and say if it make senses please... thank you soo much

Greetings!
Love is blind - I like this opening line :-)
It sounds like the thunder before the storm - Is it mandatory to "say" the senses (sounds, feels, etc.)? If not, you might want to use metaphor instead of simile. For instance, instead of "It sounds like the thunder..." you could say, "Rumbling thunder before the storm"
It feels like the earth after the first rain - perhaps "fresh like the earth after morning rain"?
It smells like red roses - I find the "red" a bit distracting, because it makes me think, "do they smell different from yellow roses? white roses? how can it smell like RED roses?"
It tastes like saccharine strawberries - "saccharine" has a somewhat negative connotation these days, denoting something which is too sweet; perhaps the "tart sweetness of strawberries"?
It lives everywhere - I agree, this doesn't seem to fit; perhaps you could refer back to the first line: "Love is blind, but sees into the heart" or something like that.
Your Roses poem does make sense! :-) You might want to add a bit of contrast to it though; too much sweetness can be bland. See what you think of this:
Roses Beautiful and treacherous Blooming innocently Like love that pierces the heart If only neither had thorns
This is a very different poem in tone from the one you wrote, and you may not like it, but I present to you as an example of contrast; you may do with it as you wish. ;-))
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

I have to write a haiku poem(A japanese lyric verse form having three unthymed lines of five,seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the season) My teacher gave me this example: Clouds sit still above(5 syllables) Mountains stir a placid sea(7 syllables) Nature's beauty glows(5 syllables)
I dont no what to write i want to write something about nature can you help
I also have to write a limerick poem(which has to 5 lines with the 1st, 2nd, and 5th line rhyming, and 3rd and 4th lines rhyming together) My teacher gave us this babyish example he told us to something much better then this but my mind is black...help me please....my teachers example:
There once was a young girl named jill Who was scared by the sight of a drill She brushed everyday So her dentist would say, Your teeth are so perfect; no bill today
Thank you

Greetings!
I'd be glad to help! Let's take your questions one at a time. The first poem is very good! The only suggestion I would make is perhaps to say "The scent of beautiful flowers" [or you could use other adjectives like "blooming flowers" or "spring flowers" or whatever]; scent has a more positive connotation than smell.
For the next one, I like both of them; I think you could take parts from each and make it even better, perhaps like this:
From the first time I met you [it's not grammatically correct to say "have meet"] Every sight has changed in my life Even as I walk on hard bricks They feel like soft smooth sheets of linen Under my feet In darkness, I see light In day, I see night There is intoxication in your eyes That makes me crazy I have searched for you everywhere Above and under the sky On river waves Droplets of water touch Just like your hands Is this love that has captured me A strange ecstasy delights
If that makes it too long, you could take out the river waves part.
I like writing haikus about nature. The thing is to just sit still first and picture what you want to say, without words. My favorite part of nature is sunsets, so I would write something like this:
The sun says good-bye Setting fire to the lake As my dreams awake (I counted "fire" as having two syllables).
I think limericks are lots of fun! It's important to get the rhythm going in your head. Play around with it on paper (or monitor screen) for a while and see what you come up with. It helps if your last line is rather amusing. Here's one I came up with:
There once was a farmer named Weiser Who horded his cash like a miser His goat found the stash And chowed down on the cash Now his money's become fertilizer
Probably the more limericks you read, the easier it will become to come up with your own ideas. Good luck!

Thank you soo much...I thought i was going to get a really bad mark in poetry but for you i think infact i no i will get a good mark...THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR HELPING ME!!!!!
Can you help me write more poems i need to write a cinquain poem: Cinquain: 5 line Poetry Syllabic verse form. Gradually increasing number of syllables in each line until the last line, which returns to two syllables. Form for younger students: Line 1: 2 syllables One word giving the title. (noun) Line 2: 4 syllables Two words that describe the title. (adjectives) Line 3: 6 syllables Three words that express action. ( Verbs) Line 4: 8 syllables Four words that express feeling. Line 5: 2 syllables One word that gives the title a different name. (synonym)
a Quatrain: The Quatrain A Quatrain is a poem consisting of four lines of verse with a specific rhyming scheme. It is a very popular form of poetry. Famous poets like William Blake and T. S. Eliot used quatrains. A few examples of a quatrain rhyming scheme's are as follows: Abab abba -envelope rhyme aabb aaba, bbcb, ccdc, dddd - chain rhyme My teachers example: I love the mountains in the fall, as the leaves begin to turn. Like decorations for the ball, it makes my heart just yearn.
a concrete poem Concrete Poetry Words and phrases are arranged on paper to capture and extend the meaning. Each line should be a complete unit of thought.
and a caustic poem
Can you please write me these poems..i am really bad poetry person that can only write free verse poems.....Please help me
Thank you so much

Greetings!
I am not as familiar with cinquains and quatrains; I have heard of them, but never tried to write any. So, we'll learn together! My thinking is, it's easiest to describe something you're very familiar with. Imagine that you're describing the subject as if you were there, and the memories will help you find the words:
Summer Humid, blazing Sailing, swimming, sunning, burning Joyful, goofy, giggly, silly Freedom
You could try something similar to that with winter, spring or fall, too!
Sometimes a poem starts out one direction, and by the time you write the last line, you find it has ended up somewhere else entirely! That's what happened when I wrote this quatrain (in aabb form): The lake at sunset burns like fire Inflaming love's intense desire My dreams of you began this way But passion faded like the day
Not a happy ending, after all! :=)
I can't write all your poems for you, but if you have trouble with rhyming, I would suggest a rhyming dictionary--it can be very helpful! You might even find one online. When I write poems or songs, I usually just make a list of the words I'm trying to rhyme, starting with A and going through the entire alphabet, writing down every word I can think of that rhymes. You might want to try that, too!
Remember--the best way to write anything is just to start writing! Don't second-guess yourself or edit yourself until you've got something written; then go back and work on it until you like it. And don't judge your writing too harshly! It's all about learning as you go!

Greetings!
The great thing about nature is that it is balanced, so it's easy to come up with opposites. Here are some examples: night/day; dark/light; winter/summer; spring/fall; birth/death; hot/cold; rain/drought; sun/clouds (maybe not exact opposites, but close).
You asked about using my poems. I wrote them to help you, so I wouldn't mind, except you need to remember that this is a public forum which anyone can access, so you don't want to be accused of not doing your own assignments! It would be best to make some changes so that it's your own (substitute synonyms, for example--which would also be a good learning exercise for you!).
Best of luck!

I'm afraid I don't know anything about writing concrete poems; I've never heard of them. However, if it involves making the poem look a certain way on the paper, I doubt there would be any way I could demonstrate it here, anyway. There is less flexibility with formatting here than there would be using a typical word processing program.
All I can do is give you a suggestion: try writing a poem about how your mind goes blank when you try to write a poem! You could use a lot of white space on the paper to symbolize the emptiness of ideas...just a thought!
Good luck!

Well, I can't write them for you, but I'd be happy to critique them when you have a rough draft. It would help me to help you if you could post the definitions of both contrast poem and rhyming couplet. I have heard of the latter, but don't really know the structure of it; contrast poem is a new term to me (I assume it involves contrasting things, but more specific instruction would be good). If you have examples of either, as you did with some of the other types, that would be helpful, too.
Thanks,

A couplet [CUP-let] is the simplest form of poetry. Do you see the word "couple" in couplet? A couple is two of something. A couplet is a poem made of two lines of rhyming poetry that usually have the same meter. There are no rules about length or rhythm. Two words that rhyme can be called a couplet. Do you know what the pioneers ate when they got desperate? Ex. My friend has eyes like mud. He always chews his cud. Contrast Poem does show contrasting in it...PlEASE PLEASE OKEASE PLEASE can you write them for me! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but we're here to help students with their assignments, not to do the assignments for them! However much you do implore, I'll send you back to write some more! Couplets are easy, and fun! Try it, you can have fun with it.;-))
As I said, I'd be happy to give you my thoughts on them, once you've got them written.

When you put your mind to it, you write very good poems! You don't need anyone to write them for you; yours are just fine! I really like this one:
May my life's breath find refuge in your heart Destroyed in your love may my life depart. - Now think about where it should logically go next. It sounds like a failed romance; you could use "fears" and "tears"; "lies" and "cries"; "forever" and "never"-- I know you can finish it! :-)
There is no limit [no "e"] to human desire - think about what rhymes with desire... acquire briar choir dire fire (that's a good one) hire liar mire pyre (as in funeral) sire shire tire (or retire) wire... and I bet you could come up with more! See if some of those help you finish. :-)
For your acrostic, there's lots you could do with "I": "I dance with joy"; "Ice cream melting"; "Indoors no more!"
Keep working, you're doing an excellent job!

All right, because I can see you are trying, I'll give you some more help. ;-))
There is no limit to human desire Its burning sets the heart on fire But if ignited by a flash The flames soon turn to soot and ash.
See, the trick is to do your list of rhyming words and then pick out ones which logically go together. To me, desire and fire is so obvious it's almost a cliché.
Softly, rain dances on leaves Pattering quietly, dancing lightly Rapidly flowing Into the new day Nudging buds from their hiding places Growing life out of brown earth
And the trick for the acrostic (and really, any kind of poem) is to think of it like a picture. Imagine yourself there (in a Spring-like setting, for example), and ask "what would I be hearing? seeing? feeling?" For instance, right now I'm sitting by an open window and rain is softly pattering down onto the leaves...it wasn't hard to come up with the words! You just need to get yourself into the right frame of mind!
Now then--your turn! The next one's all yours! :-))
