Any advice for doing well on a subject you cant stand?

 

 

I didnt have a choice but I have to do poetry in class for 30 minutes every day. Its relatively easy, but they want me to write poems which is where I kinda blank out. To make matters worse, were starting with haiku's and syllables are something I've stupidly always struggled with.

 

So, how do you do well on something you dont enjoy, and how are you supposed to write poems?

Hmm... for me personally, I just kind of realize that I need to learn and start boosting on with learning but! If that doesn’t work for you, try asking questions to teachers! I did that to my science teacher and she just kind of told me the answer (rip science teacher). Okay maybe that’s not a good idea. But anyways, writing a poem is simply pouring out what you feel. Try to find a meaningful topic, write some very descriptive words about that topic and boom!

I don't like poetry either....

 

What I do is think about a message I want to pass on, or a topic I'm interested in, (unless if you're doing a type of poem that's usually relating to nature or something, then think of something in nature that fascinates you.) and write it down in as few words as possible in paragraph format. Then if you organize that into lines, and just kind of find synonyms for your words that rhyme with other words, and shorten it, cut out bits that aren't completely necessary, and eventually you have a poem. Yay! That's just what works for me, though.

I have a lot of experience writing poetry and haikus. I find this syllable counter: https://syllablecounter.net/extremely helpful when writing haikus. As for the actual writing process, I tend to either pick a topic and just have it describe it self  with a basic rhyming scheme (rhymezone.com is insanely helpful)

Example:

Topic: storms 

waves crashing

wind thrashing

thunder rolling

nature is controlling

OR I pick one line and base everything else on that. 

Example: I once had to write a haiku on a meme and the line I focused on was "training has begun". My end result was

We rise with the sun

Master starts off with a run 

"Come along my sons.

Don't tire, for we are not done

Children, training has begun"

 

I hope this is helped 

Children, training has begun.”

The sunrise bright in brilliant green
beneath a pine I hadn't seen,
your arms around me close and tight
I felt my strength's dissolving flight.
