These are some guidelines for aspiring poets. Forget cliches. If something is commonly used to describe or compare it to another, it has no business in a poem. Rhyming common words like rain with pain, love with above, heart with start is all trite. You do not want your poem to read like a greeting card unless you are working for Hallmark. Use fresh imagery that you can see in your mind’s eye. Show, don’t tell. Use all of your senses. Try not to focus only on the overused theme of lost love, or if you must, create your original description of it. Get a dictionary and thesaurus and make sure the words you use are spelled right and mean what you actually want them to say. Dictionary.com can help you with this. Expand your vocabulary in your poetry. Never use somebody else’s words or phrases in your original work. At worst, it’s plagiarism; at best, you are guilty of unoriginal thinking. Reach beyond your linguistic grasp and discover new ways to describe common things. Practice sensory exercises to teach you how to find new ways to describe common objects or scenes. Proofread.
Perhaps, Ben, I should have added that I give poetry workshops for at-risk junior and senior high school students in the Orleans Parish public schools in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ergo, I am a Creative Writing teacher.
Calm down, people. My goodness! Some here seem to have anger issues. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, but I see many young poets asking for feedback and thought I would offer not rules, but some very, very generic guidelines that would help them avoid common poetry pitfalls. I’m not trying to tell anybody how to write or what to write, and don’t care whether or not anyone follows my suggestions. Originality in poetry and prose is always preferable over hackneyed phrases; I don’t care what you may have published in a vanity press. If you write, you should already know this. And Peter, of course I think your poem is good. You know it’s good. I won’t publish any of my work online due to copyright issues, so sorry, no examples. I wish everybody continued luck in all their writing endeavors.

Complaint letter for not being alowed to move to another area in the same complex.

I’m currently doing most of the work in Photoshop CS2.

I’ll create exercises using MuseScore, save them as .pdf files, open them in Photoshop, crop the exercises and drop them into a “template” I’ve created (CMYK, 300 dps, 8.5 x 11, 1″ margins top & bottom, 1.25″ left & right). I’m doing all layout, text and images (such as keyboard/fretboard fingering charts) in Photoshop – one page at a time. I’m saving the file as flat .pdf copies.

The problem is this is very time consuming and the .pdf files (even flattened) are rather large. Any suggestions?

Looking for a template I can print off to write in plans for a week that includes spaces for subject, objectives, standards, and a brief description. Hoping for no more that 2 or 3 pages to get through a week. Want to fill in some items that remain the same before I print them off. I need about 6 subjects a day. I have searched and gotten no where. I made my own last year but wasn’t happy and I am not good at formatting things so hoping there is one out there and I don’t have to spend hours to create it. I find there just isn’t space in a puchased plan book for all the pieces we are required to include. I even bought a program but it makes one plan one page so it is not useful at all..
I’d appreciate any help if someone has such a thing. Thanks
