Poems have been used as a method of expressing love and passion for centuries. There are a number of forms to choose from that can allow you to express yourself. However whether it is a limerick or a Plutrachian sonnet there are certain rules and principles that can help you to develop your writing. While poetry can be very personal with the right approach you can develop a structure to make your passionate poetry more effective.
The first thing to emphasise is that poems do not have to rhyme. This may seem obvious but a lot of people do not realise that this does not necessarily have to be the case. Indeed when people think of poetry they often think of rhyming and rhyme schemes. However you do not necessarily need a poem for it to rhyme in order to have a structure.
The next thing to do is to consider what passion means to you personally. The easiest way is to brainstorm. Put the word passion in the middle of a spider diagram and writing down words that you personally associate with the word passion and what you consider passionate.
Passion is different from love. You can love something but not necessarily be passionate about it. In this sense it often means people abandoning society or some form of restriction. In this instance the images may invoke colours like deep dark red or animals like wild horses as this indicates the lack of control and the power that these emotions evoke.
Passion can also be about something you love in the sense of something that is personal. Indeed this is why a lot of people write poems for themselves they may not necessarily show other people. However even then it helps to develop a structure and ideas as this makes it easier to express what you want to say.
The first thing to do is generate ideas. Brainstorm what images are invoked for you personally by the word passion. You should then note any events that happened to you, dreams you remember or anything that you personally feel should be noted down. It is often best to use a cheap notepad and pen to do this so you write freely and without the pressure of making it neat. Feel free to doodle in the margins, write yourself footnotes and so forth. It is all part of the process!
You can then begin to put them into a structure. To start with you should aim to write what you want in 20 to 30 lines with around 10 words or syllables per line. How you line up those words, syllables and lines will affect the rhythm of what you write. If you find rhyme works for what you want to put this is fine. There is no real right or wrong but it does help to read it out loud as you can then adjust the emphasis accordingly.
In short developing a poem that expreseses passion takes time. With the right approach you can learn to write it in an effective way. As well as looking for classes and tutors in your local area it helps to look up examples of poetry from other writers as this will help you to develop your own style.
