#10 For the Poetry Writer: Finding your type

I'm not a poetry writer, but I've had the pleasure of learning a little about some different types of poems and how to construct them.

Haiku
Free Verse
Shakespearean

Those are some I've actually been able to write during my time on my Creative Writing course as well as in my spare time.

I absolutely LOVE Haiku poetry.. the beauty in how just a small amount of words can create such a burst of imagery and emotion:

The blowing of the wind

The tickle of spring in my nose

Purple petals fall

This was one I wrote out of leisure.. I'm no expert, but I just love how much imagery this created in my head!

Anyway! Enough about me and my poetic endeavours; you my dear poet, are you struggling to find your type?

Do you like writing freely?

Do you like writing with a specific constraint?

Are you more of a rhymer?

Or one that likes to create imagery.. the type to escape?

You could even be all four of these and more; but there is a plethora of different formats of what you could write..

Based on how you like to write.. no harm in doing a search..

And most of all.. keep writing!
