10. Golden Shovel
The Golden Shovel is a more recent form invented by poet Terrance Hayes, as an homage to the poet Gwendolyn Brooks.
The last words of each line in a Golden Shovel poem should, if read from top to bottom, be words from a line or poem written by Gwendolyn Brooks. For example, a poet using Brooks’s poem “We Real Cool” as inspiration for this form should end their first line with “we,” end their second line with “real,” and end their third line with “cool” and so on.
Showing is easier than telling for this form, so if you’re curious about trying your hand at this type of poem, I’d suggest taking a look at Terrance Hayes’s “The Golden Shovel,” which is written in two parts.
1.2. The methods of using poetry in literary fields
1 Rhyming
Rhyming is the most obvious poetic technique used. It helps to make poems flow.
Poems do not have to rhyme, however; there are many poems that are free verse—a style that allows poets the flexibility to write their thoughts and ideas without the constraint of following a particular rhyming pattern.
There are several different rhyming patterns and schemes. Which one a poet uses will depend on the topic, style, and theme of the poem.
2 Repetition
Repetition involves repeating a line or a word several times in a poem.
Poets use this to emphasize a point, to bring attention to a particular item or theme, to achieve a particular effect, or to provoke an emotional reaction from the reader.
3 Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is not an easy word to say or spell, but it is one of the most fun and common techniques used in poetry.
Onomatopoeia is simply the use of a word that imitates a sound, like bam, crash, boom, splash.
Words like these appeal to the reader’s senses and bring the reader into the poem.
4 Alliteration
Alliteration involves the use of two or more words that begin with the same sound.
For example, “The drizzling, drippy drain drove me crazy.” Alliteration is a great way to grab the reader’s attention at a particular moment in the poem.
It also provides the poet an opportunity to describe things in a creative way that is memorable to the reader.
