LESSON 2
WRITING A SHORT POEM
After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. write a short poem applying the various elements and literary devices
exploring innovative techniques (HUMSS_CW/MP11/12c-f10)
2. use some of the learned elements, techniques, and literary devices.
3. appreciate literary pieces written by local and foreign writers.
WRITING PREFERENCES
Every author has his/her own inclinations
when drafting a record. Regardless of
whether an individual is composing a
story, a sonnet, a diary passage, a letter, or
an innovative genuine piece, the
composing approach is peculiar, implying
that it is particular to the individual who
is composing.
WRITING PREFERENCES
Different scholars have different styles
in writing. They compose, cut, duplicate,
and rearrange their work just as discard
and start once more—here and there
numerous occasions. They are
continually prewriting, arranging, and
modifying as they go.
THE WRITING PROCESS
PREWRITING/PLANNING

Prewriting begins with what draws the

writer to write. The writer may be
inspired by nature, people, animals, life
events, etc.
PREWRITING/PLANNING
Writers make several decisions in the
prewriting stage as well. They will answer
questions like the topic, readers/audience,
the mode of delivering the context, the
genre, the point of view on how to tell the
content and some factual information.
CONCEPTUALIZING

It involves writing the first draft of a document.

CONCEPTUALIZING

A short bit of composing can be drafted at

a time. The objective is to get everything
down on paper before it is lost.
CONCEPTUALIZING

When drafting, writers are urged to not

focus on spelling, accentuation, language
structure, and so on.
REVITALIZING
Once you create your draft, you need to
have some break for you to unwind your
mind in conceptualizing. This will help you
to rethink and re-conceptualize for a new
possible content or inputs.
REVISING
Revising literally means “to see again” not just once
but multiple times. Revision has two types of
processes:
1. To look at the larger problems such as content
and organization
2. To look at the smaller problems such as
sentence structure, word choice, and
formatting.
REVISING
Some portion of updating may incorporate
requesting that others read drafts and make
modification proposals. Eventually, it's
consistently up to the author whether those
update suggestions will be actualized into the
last draft.
PUBLISHING
Publishing involves submitting final
manuscripts to editors of print and online
journals and magazines, newspapers, or
publishing companies.
THE WRITING PROCESS
 QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

•Have you tried to follow the

writing process? How was it?
Among the phases of the writing
process, which is hard for you?
How did you surpass it?
Creative writing is written to entertain
and educate. We enjoy reading novels and
stories, not because they are necessary to
read or helpful for us, just because we get
a certain pleasure from reading them, the
pleasure which can’t be got from reading
technical writing.
Technical writing is wholly written to
inform and sometimes to trigger the
person reading into making an action
beneficial to the one of the writer.

 QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

•Can you recall the reading texts that

you have read? Can you now
categorize if these are creative or
technical writing?
• SELECT THE FORM OF YOUR POEM
Form of a Poem
Here are different types of poetry forms that we have discussed in
the previous module:
Sonnet – A short, rhyming poem of 14 lines
Haiku – A poem of 3 lines where the first is 5 syllables, the middle
is 7 syllables, and the last is 5.
Acrostic – A poem where the first letter of each line spells a word
that fits with the theme of the poem or exposes a deeper meaning.
Couplet – This can be a part of a poem or stand alone as a poem
of two lines that rhyme.
Free verse – This type of poem doesn’t follow any rules and is free
written poetry by the author.
•POETRY PUNCTUATION
Writing a poem is difficult because you
never know what the appropriate
punctuation is, because it can be different
from punctuation when writing a book.
•POETRY PUNCTUATION
A comma shows a brief delay, a period
demonstrates a more drawn out respite, a
scramble demonstrates an interruption
with an association of contemplations.
Utilizing no accentuation at all would loan
to a surged feeling, which you may need.
•SEALER OF YOUR POEM
The last word of a line, the last word of
your poem, and the last line of your poem
are very important—these are the bits
that echo in your reader’s head and have
the most emphasis.
•THE USE OF THE IMAGERIES
The use of imagery as a literary device in
your writing consists of descriptive
language that can function as a way for the
reader to better imagine the world of the
piece of literature and also add symbolism
to the work.
•THE USE OF THE IMAGERIES
Using imagery helps the reader develop a
more fully realized understanding of the
imaginary world that the author has
created.
•THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUND
DEVICES
The use of the auditory effect on your
piece will also give aesthetics to your piece
not just the physical outlook of the piece
but also on how to sound it when the
reader reads the piece. It gives additional
impact to the reader and let him to
remember it.
•TELL AND EXPRESS THE
FEELINGS
Structure, imagery, and sound work
together to make up the technical
excellence of a poem. But if your words
are empty of a deeper meaning, what’s the
point in writing a poem at all?
•TELL AND EXPRESS THE
FEELINGS
“Poetry is a form of storytelling. The key to
writing is making the audience feel. Give them
something to remember and hold onto.”
– Brookes Washington
•DO NOT BE SO ORDINARY,
BE UNIQUE TO STANDOUT
There are many clichés you want to avoid
when writing poetry. Nothing really marks
an amateur poet like clichés. The
temptation, avoid cliché phrases. Go line
by line and make your language as crisp
and original as you can.
•DO NOT BE SO ORDINARY,
BE UNIQUE TO STANDOUT
“Poetry is just word math. Every piece has
mean something, and there can’t be any
extraneous bits otherwise it gets confusing. It
just becomes a puzzle made out of all the
words that make you feel something.”
– Abigail Giroir
•ENHANCING YOUR POEM USING
THE WRITING CYCLE
The genuine enchantment of verse occurs
in the reexamining and refining. Amend the
ever-living hell out of it.
 QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

•Which of the following tips in

writing of a poem do you really
consider? Can you follow these tips
in writing your own poem?
