I have to write a poem reflecting on my grandma or my memories of her for her birthday event thing. I know it's kinda of a personal thing but she's just like any grandma kind and friendly, loving u know te usual.Anyways my job is to make a poem. It's kind of a formal thing so it can't be humourous.( well i don;t think it'll be very good if it was) I going to try to go with a rhyming scheme. Also.. i want to it sound professional but not too professional but then again i don't want it to sound like a little kid could write sumthing way better than me. The first line is the most important right? So i've been like stuck thinking for one.. that isn't so sappy or just weird. So.. can anyone help me out to what the first line might be? or maybe give me ideas of what it should be like ?
The best thing i can think of is something like "as time goes byI still remember all the times we've shared together" Bad right? It sounds kinda sappy. I've been stuck on this for like a month. seriously.. i wrote a couple poems but they all really really.. really.. suck.  HOPe u can help out. I don't even know if anyone in createblog is into poetry. >.<

The rhyme scheme isnt as important as you might think. Its about how it flows, how you say it. You can add a singsong type flow to it, simply by how you write it.
I think that the poem you posted would be good, just play around with it. Find more ... "poetic" words to put in or strengthen them, and make them longer. Changing your current sentences into metaphors, and other poetic devices will be better than trying to write something else from scratch. That way your working with something that you know came from your emotion...not something that your writing simply becuase it needs to be done and you dont think you cna do any better. Just write from your emotions, play on how much you love her, and all the tender memories. Don't worry about the rhyme scheme, or the flow, or anything...just sit down and write it all down. <3 rememberTHEforgotten |
