What tuning is Taproot's song 'Poem' in?
Hello all. I've been wanting to learn Taproot's 'Poem' on guitar but I can't seem to find the correct tuning. Some places said Standard...some Drop D...and then another one said way down in A Standard. I can't figure out tunings by ear (at least not yet), so if anyone knows for sure what tuning it's in and could let me know, that would be greatly appreciated. I know Taproot uses A Standard in at least some of their other songs, but I haven't heard a lot of their stuff so I'm unsure whether they jump around all over the place with tunings or just stay in the same general area. Thanks.
I need An Acrostic poem for the word "Cherish"?
Create a dream Hold onto a memory Experience makes a life. Reminisce about time past. Invent new thoughts Store all those good times. Hang onto what once was, never forget what it has become. I dunno, just whipped it up. It may be lame, but, hey, I wanted to write a short poem real fast before I slept.
"happy" break up poems ?! :)?
Okay .. so this poem i m writing , i am just making it now... i love spontaneous ones. so please even if u find it not so good... I am happy that you have gone away, Now i dont have to worry about you everyday. Now, i have time for myself, You were so useless, may i add get some mental help. I haven't felt this kind of bliss for so long, Wonder why i was ever with you, it was so wrong. I have learnt my lesson and i am strong, While you waste your time behind her, I am sure moving on. I will enjoy with my friends, watching movies, going to the mall, Leaving you feels like the end of a bad night with a wonderful Dawn. Oh No! I don't feel sad at all... :) I have to stop, or else i will keep writing ;) take care.
Everyone always comments on how all of my poems are depressing. How do I write something happier?
Sad poems are usually therapeutic… for the poet. Try writing when you’re feeling good about something. Look for happy subjects… children, nature, Christmas… and write about how they make you feel. When you see a butterfly on a pretty flower… or the lights on the Christmas Tree… or you hear a beautiful song.Don’t stop writing the others, if it makes you feel better to write them. But you may find that happier poetry makes you feel happier too.Read some Billy Collins poetry. I love his work.
I need help answering some questions about this poem..?
The rimescheme of Sara Teasdale's poem is : xAxA (x is a nonriming line). The poem is written in quatrains with three lines of iambic tetrameter, finishing in a line of iambic dimeter. The fourth line is hence a halfline (relative to the earlier triplet). There are several figurative devices in stanza 2, but the main one is the metaphor of a poet as a 'weaver'. Teasdale is comparing the way a poet makes a poem with the way a weaver makes a garment - or the cloth for one. There is an underlying idea that the weaver can make cloth for someone else to wear, much as a poet can make a poem for someone else to feel. All three stanzas see a change in tone, and it is never done through words (the imagery does it). So I can't answer your third question. The first two stanzas are optimistic and upbeat (the poetry / weaving is going well). The third stanza is one of quiet defeat. Again this is not done with words, but with imagery (the poet who sang joyfully in the first two verses is miserably silent in this one). Love is personified in the third stanza: Love passed and touched me on the brow. (Love isn't really a person, it is a feeling; but we regularly talk about love as if it were a person). The poem says that Sara Teasdale (or the poet, if they are different) used to write happy little love poems, even though she had never been in love. Now she has been in love, and finds she cannot write anymore. There is an undermessage here that those who really feel are less likely to talk about it than those whose feelings are less serious.
Can someone paraphrase this poem?
Should you, my lord, while you peruse my song, Wonder from whence my love of Freedom sprung, Whence flow these wishes for the common good, By feeling hearts alone best understood, I, young in life, by seeming cruel fate Was snatch'd from Afric's fancy'd happy seat: What pangs excruciating must molest, What sorrows labour in my parent's breast? Steel'd was that soul and by no misery mov'd That from a father seiz'd his babe belov'd: Such, such my case. And can I then but pray Others may never feel tyrannic sway? -Phillis Wheatley

How can poetry help us express and understand how we feel?
Poetry speaks to the soul, how beautiful or bad something appears or written the mind can express and imagine it in many ways.The ample mind have positive thinking which makes it easy to understand any situation, poetry help us express how we feel by writing a poem or story from deep down within the heart and mind by so doing understanding how we feel can be expressed either by writing, talking or imagining how wonderful something is.Poetry shows how creative and imaginative one can be, by showing the creativity in one’s true self, this is expressing how see or visualise things and give a meaning of how one might feel or understand a certain phenomena.
How can I get better at writing poems?
Poetry is hard work.It involves intense revision, concentration, and practice, practice, practice.It might mean tearing up your work and starting over - or changing something until it no longer resembles what you had in mind when you started.Not all poetry is rhyming, but it’s the only place for a beginner to begin. Too many budding poets fancy themselves excellent free verse writers, and never move beyond writing terrible poetry. Drill yourself with the basics of rhyme. Study common poetry forms, and get out there and write some. If they’re terrible (and they will be) write more. Anything worth doing is worthy doing badly so that eventually you can do it well.But even before you begin writing poetry, begin reading poetry. Read the great poets of the past. Don’t start with pop poetry or modern poetry. Read some translations of Homer’s Odyssey (I recommend Lattimore’s translation.) Read Yeats and Milton, Herbert and Donne, Sidney and Spencer. Read Beowulf. Find out where the heartblood of English lies and make your heart beat to its rhythm.Immerse yourself in poetry, and eventually it will begin to come out of your fingertips.So here are some recommendations for reading:Amazon.com: The Roar on the Other Side: A Guide for Student Poets (9781885767660): Suzanne Underwood Rhodes: BooksAmazon.com: A Poetry Handbook (8601404593888): Mary Oliver: BooksOxford Rhyming Dictionary: Clive Upton, Eben Upton: 9780192801159: Amazon.com: BooksThis last one is every rhyming word in the English language. Well worth the money.I hope this helps. Your above poem is trite, lacking the emotional punch you were probably aiming for. The rhymes are off, and the rhyme scheme is inconsistent. The meter is butchered. Edit: Previous paragraph based on pre-merge question details.All of which is to say, revise it, tweak it, change it, polish it, and love it.It will come.Cheers!
