Surrealism Poem:


My heart is aching
Your head is at ease
My feet are in turmoil
Your hands are relaxed
My stomach is turning
Your brain is at peace
Pushing and throwing without thought
Pulling and catching with reason
Seeing and thinking with confusion
Blind and thoughtless without clarity.

Sound Poem:

Striking Ocean Waves
Roar of the surf
Crash of the surf
Crush the surf
Splash
Pounding of the surf
Rumble of the surf
Rolling the surf
Splash
Rustled weeds
Salted seas
Hearing muffled breeze
Makes me feel at ease
Rippling of the surf
Echo of the surf
Crack the surf
Splash
Wheez
Breeze 
Seas
Makes me feel at ease

Cubist idea Poem:


Body Shaming Vs. Diversity



You're
DAMNED if
you're too thin and
you're DAMNED if you're
too heavy. I always find beauty in 
things that are odd and imperfect, because
DAMN they are so much more interesting. All these
DAMN diverse bodies around, but uniquely identical insecurities.
Coming to the realization that, DAMN insecurities aren't 
real, just a DAMN fear from society's 
standards. Hating your 
body isn't a simple
task, DAMN society
teaches it.
DAMN bullying

List Poem:

Closed Minded

I despise close minded people
Bad habits
Lack of experience
No perspective
High judgment
No growth
Things never changing
Different generations
Being to shy
Being normal
Having fear
People who think they are always right
Generalizing thoughts
Getting easily upset
Dishonesty 
Trust issues
Doing only one thing
Strict agendas 
Assuming 
To defensive 
Xenophobia
Old People
Being stuck in my ways
Racists people
Homophobic People
Stereo typing
Uncertainty
Lack of creation
Being Basic
To much self love
Not caring for others
Not trying new things
Non-risk takers

imagist poem4:

Silence
Room so quiet I could hear myself breathing
When will they just say it
Not knowing is one of the hardest things
Spit it out
Is it over?
imagist poem3:

Staring at an empty glass
Sad and concerned that he will never return
My vision becoming blurry from tears in my eyes
My mind and heart start to come to the realization that he is gone for good
imagist poem2:

It's not a joke.
It's not romantic.
It's not a hobby.
Its not okay.
Stop Stalking
imagist poem1:

Lights on
Lights off
My laptop screen brighter then the sun
The room darker then night
Projector flickering
Emotions heightened
Feeling seizure like




   While reading a poem I usually break the lines in poems by reading each stanza. 
I realized I was right but not completely, there is more to it then just stanza's and there is also a certain way to break up the lines in poetry in a more proper form. Some of the best poets ever use several techniques of style to conduct their poetry. Four important style choices available to poet's are stanzas, line breaks ,syntax or sentence structure or sentence variety, and grammar of a poem. The stanza in free verse is a way to organize related ideas, a way to create a pause, a way to add emphasis to related lines. A line break is a tool that the poet uses to create a particular effect, such as a pause or to emphasize an idea, word, phrase. A good understanding of syntax or sentence structure will help you write better poetry. Sentence structure contributes to the rhythm of a poem. The best poets follow the rules and conventions of grammar. They use the active voice, write with concrete nouns and actions verbs, and use adjectives and adverbs sparingly. Reading poetry well is part attitude and part technique. Curiosity is a useful attitude, especially when it’s free of prejudged ideas about what poetry is or should be. Effective technique directs your curiosity into asking questions, drawing you into a conversation with the poem.





Ezra Pound defines “image"

An “Image” is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time. I use the term “complex” rather in the technical sense employed by the newer psychologists, such as Hart, though we might not agree absolutely in our application.
It is the presentation of such a “complex” instantaneously which gives that sense of sudden liberation; that sense of freedom from time limits and space limits; that sense of sudden growth, which we experience in the presence of the greatest works of art.
All this, however, some may consider open to debate. The immediate necessity is to tabulate A LIST OF DON’TS for those beginning to write verses. But I can not put all of them into Mosaic negative.
To begin with, consider the three rules recorded by Mr. Flint, not as dogma—never consider anything as dogma—but as the result of long contemplation, which, even if it is some one else’s contemplation, may be worth consideration.
Pay no attention to the criticism of men who have never themselves written a notable work. Consider the discrepancies between the actual writing of the Greek poets and dramatists, and the theories of the Graeco-Roman grammarians, concocted to explain their metres.


It is better to present one Image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous works.

-Ezra Pound
