Poetry creation focuses on vivid images, subtle and timeless, although many amateur authors are enthusiastic, and even forget to sleep and eat, the works they write are difficult to compliment, and even make people feel free to moan and chew wax, so they cannot be appreciated by the world.
In order to improve the level of poetry creation, in addition to mastering rhythm and rhyme, as well as commonly used rhetorical skills, it is also necessary to work ideas, materials, and refining words. In addition, the rational use of various imagery can also make one's work appear original. The following shares the two folk five laws, rich in imagery and quite philosophical, worthy of being a masterpiece of landscape and pastoral.
Back out of the country
Author: Lu Guohui
Winding paths and green sand, climbing the slope near the hometown.
The tree is tall and the warbler speaks softly, and the wind sets the cicada to sing long.
The pond is surrounded by forests, and the thatched eaves reflect the sun.
Schoolchildren only rest in the summer, and catch green mantis in dry land.
Classical poetry often uses some imagery, such as the plum blossom that expresses nobility, the bright moon that alludes to nostalgia, the willow that symbolizes farewell, and the cicada that represents sorrow. The poem paints a picture of the countryside and is full of poetry and is worth reading.
The first sentence does not rhyme, the poet returns to his hometown from abroad, and when he passes by a winding path outside the village, his mood suddenly feels relaxed. The path is paved with green sand, flat and smooth, and the poet walks leisurely through it for a while, and then climbs the hillside to see how the style of his hometown has changed.
The couplet depicts what the poet has heard and witnessed, with the yellow warbler standing on a high branch, showing off her singing voice, and the summer cicada, not to be outdone, constantly chirping from early morning to evening. "Thin speech, long sound", delicate portrayal, conveys that the wind is strong at high places, so that the sound appears weak, but it can also travel farther.
The neck couplet moves the perspective from the tall trees to the low place, "the pond is surrounded by forests, and the thatched eaves reflect the sun." "The water is clear, the waves are rippling, and the trees around the pool are full of life and foliage. The thatched cottage of the farmhouse shows a dark yellow color against the background of the sun, and it also has a more quaint taste.
The ending is quite poetic, the children have just been on summer vacation, they put down their books, excitedly come to the wilderness, breathe in the fresh air, and catch the cyan praying mantis with great interest. Such a picture can only be seen in the countryside, showing the children's love for nature, and also euphemistically expressing the poet's yearning for a leisurely life. The whole text is rich in imagery and delicate in portrayal, which is worthy of being an excellent pastoral work.
Early Spring Impressions
Author: Chen Xianbin
The snow is like a cloud, and the deep lake is like a dragon.
The wind in the heavenly palace weeps, and the rain in the wild makes it cold.
Dead trees sprout and wake up in spring, and covered bridges span the shallows.
The water is clear and the island is bright, and the horizon is wide when you reach the top.
In the early spring, it is still warm and cold, the ice and snow have not melted in some places, many flowers have not yet opened, all kinds of plants and trees are waiting for the weather to warm up, and the small animals in the ground are even more dormant. The poet went out to enjoy the scenery in the early spring, and the vision was also unique, although there was no vibrant spring, but he gained an unusual experience.
The opening chapter depicts a distant scene, where the snow is like a white cloud in the sky, lying very quietly on the top of the mountain. The unfathomable water of the lake makes people feel as if there is a dragon hidden inside. The poet's skillful use of metaphor makes people feel refreshing, and it is easy to provoke the reader's reverie. If the author uses blunt brushstrokes and describes the scenery in a bland manner, it will be difficult to produce the charm of poetry.
The jaw couplet depicts the spring rain, and "Wind Tears" uses anthropomorphic techniques, referring to the spring breeze and rain, and the sky is falling with a gentle drizzle. "Rain produces cold" is in line with the characteristics of early spring, the spring cold is steep, and the rain falls on the body, which makes people feel cold. The fly in the ointment is that the couplet does not continue to use anthropomorphism.
The neck couplet turns to show the nearby scene, "The dead trees are sprouting in spring, and the covered bridge spans the shallows." The spring rain moistens things, the dead trees sprout, and the poet's heart suddenly swells with joy, and he feels that this trip is worthwhile. The author felt even more relaxed as he walked along the covered bridge and then leisurely watched the clear stream beneath it, the colorful gravel, and the occasional fish flash in front of his eyes.
The ending is quite reasonable, "The water is clear and the island is bright, and the vision is wide at the top." When night falls, the poet wanders by the water, the stars shine brightly over the island in the distance, and the genius imagines that if he climbs the mountain in the spring season, he will feel a wide field of vision. The last five words are not only rich in imagination, but also broad in realm, showing the poet's beautiful expectations for the future, and implying that only on a higher platform can a person's potential be better realized.
