Guide To Writing Poetry

Guide to Writing Poetry I was going to tell you about how beautiful the sun looked sinking below the horizon line from my back pouch the other night, but I can't, because this book I was reading told me that words like horizon should not be used in a poem. I guess instead I need to be more specific more poetic and tell you about how from where I stood on a half rotten slat on my back pouch I watched the sun give up the day and breathe it's last giving in to the night like a toddler at first refusing with all his might gives in to sleep but upon further reading I can't even tell you that I won't bore you with why I will just convey that I may be able to say that the sun sank like the heart of a twelve year old boy upon reading a note written by his crush telling him she likes Roy but that they can be friends and then I need to go on to compare the suns sinking with all the colors it leaves streaking across the sky with the passion that even after rejection still burns within the boy in question and after that I can mention the night and talk about all the stars dotting the emptiness burning oh so bright tiding the boy over until the dawn returns with light light of course being hope and hope being the theme of the poem which can never be named by name but only in hints I can say that hope does indeed reign which would only open the door to me describing rain and from there I could tell you about pain and hint again when the clouds dropping the rain and by that of course I mean pain parted allowing light from the sun to dry the rain from the pain and bring back the hope which perhaps then I could hint is only held in vain.
