INTRODUCTION
The
structure or pattern of organization that apoet chooses in writing a
poem is referred to as being either open or closed. An open form does
not have an established pattern to it, whether it be in line length,
meter, rhyme, imagery, syntax, or stanzas. An open form poem allows
the poet to write freely without worrying about trying to make the
words fit a speseific meter or rhyme scheme.
It
is allows the poet to place the words anywhere on the page to create
a desired effect, such as setting lines off by themselves for
emphasis or creating a picture with the placement of the words. It is
indicate a fresh and individual arrangement for words in every poem.
Many open form types exist, and good poets have often mastered
several over the same period, even mixing them in the one poem.
Poets
who write in open forms usually insist on the form growing out of the
writing process, i.e. The poems follow what the words and phrase
suggest during the composition process, rather than being fitted into
any pre-existing plan. Some do employ vestiges of traditional devices
rhyme, meter, alliteration, but most regard them as hidrance to
sincerity or creativity.
In
this paper we will learn about how to write an open form in poetry,
what is visual poetry and how to read a poem in open form. Also we
will learn and analyze the open form poem by Walt Whitman (1855).
CONTAIN
Poetry
in open form used to be called free verse. The rhythms of poem by
using a little white space or a lot, a slight identation or deep one,
depending on whether a short pause or a long one is intended. In open
form, you may read just as you would normally read a sentence in
prose. Free verse is a form of poetry that refrains from consistent
meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern. When we write an
open-form poem, try to be very concious. Everything in the poem,
every feature, every aspect, must have a reason for being there. Open
form poetry usually has no meter to lend it rhythm. Poets writing in
open forms argue that their approaches make for greater freedom to
find the appropriate expression, and the words are not regimented
into set meanings.
Use
experimental techniques that blast open the possibilities of words on
the printed page. When you use the open form, you start to impose on
your poem and youself all sorts of rules. Think of open-form poetry
as a way of thinking an especially intense awareness of every single
aspect of the poem, from subject and tone to music and rhythm, from
the physical shape of the poem to the length (in space and in time)
of the lines, from the grammar you use to the parts of speech.
Visual
poetry is poetry or art in which the visual arrangement of text,
images and symbols is important in conveying the intended effect of
the work. It is sometimes referred to as concrete poetry, a term that
predates visual poetry, and at one time was synonymous with it. The
act of writing an experimental or visual poem is limited only by your
imagination. You can spin or form your words, write them up, down, or
circled around the page, draw pictures and play with the lettering to
your heart’s content.
A
poem in stanzas can please us by its visual symmetry. And far from
being merely decorative, the visual devices of a poem can be
meaningful, too. Typographical devices such as capital letters and
italics also can lay stress upon words.
POEM
ANALYSIS
Song
of Myself
By:
Walt Whitman
Here
and there with dimes on the eyes walking,
To
feed the greed of the belly brains liberally spooning,
Tickets
buying, taking, selling, but into the feast never once going,
Many
sweating, ploughing, thrashing, and then the chaff for payment
receiving,
A
few idly owning, and they the wheat continually claiming.
Analysis:
This poem is trying
to say how unique his feelings and thoughts are, Whitman emphasizes
his ordinariness. The idea behind “Song of Myself” is that
individual identity is temporary but transcedent. As I wrote before,
in the introduction that it is indicate a fresh and individual
arrangement for words every poems. And allows the poet to write
freely without worrying about trying to make the words fit a spesific
or difficulty.
In this poem also
indicate that open-form poem mix with every feature, every aspect and
they must have a reason for being there. It’s simply in the line
two and three, “Tickets
buying, taking, selling, but into the feast never once going,
Many
sweating, ploughing, thrashing, and then the chaff for payment
receiving,”.
“Song
of Myself” includes many modulations of tone as it moves towards
and its climax. To work out the theme of endless renewal, between
description and emotion. As I wrote before in contain, that poets
writing in open forms argue that their approaches make greater
freedom to find the appropriate expression into set meanings.
CONCLUSION
An open form poem
allows the poet to write freely without worrying about trying to make
the words fit a spesific meter or rhyme scheme. Usually open form is
called by free verse poem. Free verse is a form of poetry that
refrains from consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical
pattern. Poets writing in open form argue that their approaches make
for greater freedom to find the appropriate expression, and the words
are not regimented into set meanings.
The act of writing
an experimental or visual poem is limited only by your imagination.
You can spin or form your words, write them up, down, or circled
around the page, draw pictures and play with the lettering to your
heart’s content. The only rule of thumb, if it can even be called
such it is to remember that visual poetry combines what you see and
feel inside with the words you put on the page. Sometimes, your
experience will be so graphic and visual that you will find the poem
to be very sparse in word count, but loaded with eye-catching
features.
