Ⅴ.阅读七选五
In the world of writing, one form stands out as different from all the rest:poetry. 1 But reading poetry, completing poetry exercises, and writing poetry are creative methods for improving your writing in other genres(体裁).
Mindful Imagery
Most writing forms attempt to explain something—a scene, a situation, an idea, a set of instructions, an experience. 2 It shows.It paints a picture and pulls you into it.When you master the art of showing readers an idea through imagery, you can easily apply the concept to your other writing.
Language, Word Choice, and Vocabulary
Of course, language is essential to all types of writing, but in poetry,words must be selected carefully in order to generate a visceral(发自肺腑的) response from readers.This is achieved by learning how to use language that evokes(唤起) emotions without telling readers what they should be feeling. 3
Musicality
A poet must be constantly aware of meter and rhythm.Think about how you feel when you hear a particular piece of music.You tap your feet and shake your hips.Our bodies respond physically to music. 4 When this musicality is brought to other forms of writing, readers feel it in their bones and muscles.They will have a physical reaction.
5 And poetry writing helps you develop skills for connecting with readers mentally(language), emotionally(images), and physically(rhythm).Whether you apply poetic concepts to fiction, blogging, or article writing, your engagement with poetry will help you produce better writing.
A.Poetry doesn't bother to explain.
B.Writing is about connecting with readers.
C.Poetry is not a favorite form of writing for many.
D.Every single word must be necessary to the poem.
E.But poetry is like music and there's something for everyone.
F.Therefore, poetry teaches writers how to be economical with language.
G.Through poetry writing comes a natural ability to marry musicality with language.
