One of the things I like about Portuguese is that since verbs always have only three possible endings, making rhyming poetry is relatively easy compared to English.

So long as you match up verbs that have the same ending you can use pretty much any verb you want.

"it's easy to feel scared of the things we want to do. i still got a lot of growing to do, but it's ok, i'll grow. and maybe you won't be there anymore. maybe you will. who knows? maybe we'll meet someday and you'll smile and i'll run into your arms and we'll believe that life was readying us for that moment. but until then, i'll keep on growing"

We should write some music featuring only beginner level Finnish learned from a few units of Duolingo, yes?

Jere on todella komea

Hän on yksi tuhma kissa

Millainen vihreä sinulla on?

Käärijä-vihreä on aina kaunis

Hyvä Suomi! Hyvä laulu!

Bojan ja Jere on naimisissa

Kiltti koira ja tuhma kissa

Jee!

Edit: I read your suggestions and made it longer, check it out here. : )

Parents

Arguing with your father is just arguing with a man A natural response, if you ask me Common hate to a heritage of neglect

But arguing with your mother is differing with your creator It alters the chemicals in your brain It makes you doubt yourself because you have not only disrespected the first human you ever felt You also look at the eyes of the first god you ever met and you scream at her with sacrilege rage.

-Jazmin D'Roa

Sick animal

Like a sick animal I love you.

With a disease,foaming at my mouth,Rabid and unafraid.

Tasting your flesh,with my pale pink lips.

I bite your bruised knees and hips.

And now what was pretty is pulverized.

You'll have to sew yourself back together with broken blades.

As I cling onto all your remains.

Like A Painting - 그림처럼

A/N: I wrote this a year ago.. the reason why there is a korean title attached here as well is because… well… the inspiration behind this poem was actually the saying 그림처럼.. a phrase used often when someone gazes upon something of beauty.. anyways.. anyhow.. happy women’s day.. I hope you enjoy

She refuses to accumulate deep within her a child

You’ll regret it, they start with

What are you without your womb, they end indirectly with

What am I without myself, she thinks

For as she buttons up her skin and rises above their heads

She realises

They’ll never see her as the woman with wings as her reflection speaks

On the ground, in their convoluted minds she’ll always be

But what can a few convulsions and conversations of the what-nots and what-ifs not fix

And even if stagnant on the ground she remains

Standing is a feat that she can always beat herself to

And in that way

She’ll never be below them

For, even if she has to crawl her way back up

She refuses to lay lifeless on the ground

She’s been doing it for quite too long

After a while, you get weary and tired of doing anything

So, imagine not doing anything,

So, imagine being nothing but a pretty caricature on the walls

Imagine

Imagine how paralysing it would be for a human to stay still and play pretend

As a painting

As a picture

As an ideal

Her whole life she was expected to play a role

The altruistic mother who cradles her child to sleep,

The elder sister who stands as still as a mountain for her family to reach the sky

The deligent coworker who gets pushed aside despite building empires with her bare hands

But seasons come and go

And change is good for the heart

Therefore, she refuses to stick to the ground

Therefore, she refuses

No..

Therefore, she clearly will not be sticking to the strange principles that have been injected into her head

It’s all she has known

That was what she thought

But the world is broad

And all she has known is not all that is to know

They say that is how life is supposed to be for people like her

But everyday a tadpole learns how to jump and a caterpillar learns how to fly

For as they say, pain is the mother of success

Change is the mother of survival

Better and bolder

Brighter and Wiser

People grow

People age

People learn

People crawl

People walk

People run

People find ways to fly

They are peasants with high hats pretending to be Confucius

But filial piety is not much of a pity compared to all the bruises on her heart that they cannot see

So she leaps away

Away from the beautiful painting she has been entrapped in

For even with perfect strokes you cannot overlook the mistakes of this stupid ideal that have been glossed over with paint

She stares at the world she has known

She walks away

For all that she has known

Is not all that is to know

For all that she has believed to be true

Is not all that is true

This painting isn’t warm

This painting isn’t cold

Her forehead is warm

Her hands are cold

But..

She’ll recover

love and strangeness through you , the muse must sing

so i recognize; make known again

memory is just grounding foundation not to be re-created like recreation

the past is dead and gruesome and you can't stop staring

my nose smells weird my view is skewed this thing I'm familiar but not friendly with Hello. How've you been. Good.

and I know, I've always known,

that my body is a well, drawn from but otherwise strange.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Your Own Poetry Book

Shaina Tranquilino

November 5, 2023

Poetry, an expressive form of literature, has the power to captivate readers with its rhythmic verses and profound emotions. If you've always been fascinated by poetry and wish to compile your own collection into a poetry book, then this guide is for you! In this blog post, we will explore the step-by-step process of creating a poetry book that reflects your unique voice and experiences.

1. Find Your Inspiration: Every poet draws inspiration from different sources. It could be nature, personal experiences, relationships, or societal issues. Take time to reflect on what moves you emotionally and sparks your creativity. Explore various themes that resonate with you deeply and jot down ideas and potential poem titles as they come to mind.

2. Establish a Consistent Tone: Consider the overall tone you want your poetry book to convey - whether it is melancholic, reflective, uplifting, or raw and honest. Maintaining consistency in tone throughout the book will create a cohesive reading experience for your audience. Experiment with different poetic forms such as sonnets, haikus, or free verse to diversify the structure within your collection.

3. Drafting and Editing: Begin writing your poems by putting pen to paper or typing on a computer screen. Don't worry about perfection at this stage; let your thoughts flow freely without judgment. Once you have several drafts ready, revise them thoroughly for clarity, grammar errors, and coherence of ideas. Pay attention to word choice, rhythm, metaphors, and other literary devices that enhance the impact of each poem.

4. Organize Your Collection: Organizing your poems in a logical sequence is essential for creating a well-structured poetry book. Consider grouping poems according to themes or narratives that emerge naturally from your work. This arrangement helps readers connect with your writing on a deeper level while maintaining their interest throughout the book.

5. Seek Feedback: Share your poetry book with a trusted circle of friends, fellow poets, or writing groups. Constructive feedback can play a vital role in refining your work and identifying areas that require further improvement. Consider their suggestions while remaining true to your artistic vision.

6. Create a Compelling Title: A captivating title can attract potential readers instantly. It should reflect the essence of your poetry collection and pique curiosity about what lies within its pages. Experiment with different titles until you find one that encapsulates the mood and themes of your work.

7. Designing Your Book: Give careful thought to the visual presentation of your poetry book. Choose an appealing cover design that complements the style of your poems. Consider fonts, layout, and formatting options to enhance readability and create an aesthetically pleasing experience for readers.

8. Publishing Options: When it comes to publishing your poetry book, you have several options to consider. Traditional publishing involves finding a literary agent or submitting directly to publishers; however, this process may be time-consuming and competitive. Alternatively, self-publishing platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or Lulu offer greater control over the publication process.

Writing a poetry book is an incredibly fulfilling creative endeavor that allows you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences through verses that touch others' hearts. By following these steps - from finding inspiration to organizing and publishing - you'll be well on your way towards creating a remarkable poetry book that will resonate with readers for years to come. So pick up your pen, let imagination take flight, and embark on this beautiful journey of self-expression!

(This is an edit of a previous post I made, including some of the suggestions from tags and reblogs. What a wonderful collab! Special cred to @tarhaorvokki for the last verse.)

We should write some music featuring only beginner level Finnish learned from a few units of Duolingo, yes?

Tervetuloa! Onnea!

Tämä on suomenkielinen laulu

No, oletko sinä valmis?

Suomalainen on velho

Saamelainen on shamaani

Pieni pupu on sininen

Ruotsalainen on viikinki

Jere on todella komea

Bojan ja Jere ovat naimisissa

Paljon onnea! Hyviä ystäviä

Kiltti koira ja tuhma kissa

Millainen vihreä sinulla on?

Niinku cha cha cha me tanssimme

Käärijä-vihreä on aina kaunis

Yhdessä, suomeksi laulamme

Haluatko mämmiä?

En, haluan Käärijä

Suomi on pohjoinen maa

Minä puhun hyvää suomea

Jee!
