Creative Thinking When Writing Poetry

I’ve thought for a long time as to the whys of writing when it’s supposed to be the essential essence of  the person who’s writing what they are feeling into the words in hopes that others that view and/or read their poem, that they’d be able to relate to what the author is feeling in aspects of the emotional breakdown going on in their own particular life.      Moreover so is how we, the ‘attentive audience’, is to be on the somewhat equation:
                 Philosophy     =    percentage of abstract
                                     X
               Societal perception ½ destination + 50/50 imagination


Many questions pop up as to what can one do to improve themselves as a writer for a more effective push to that borderline barriers of hearsay and more importantly, absolute truth.  Although this can hold some value to those whose proclamation to fame is on the diversion of being traditional instead of trying to think outside the box derives from pure basic linguistics over to interpretation language with furthermost in-depth on-goings before hand. Therefore I ask this:

What are we capable of doing as to when creative thinking applies towards a more deepening assurance to ourselves and others reading what we’ve written?


A question like that relies upon the issue of the writer and what he/she is lying in text of black and white ink—whether it’s over the computer or even inside your personal private journal(s).     The thought of brainstorming even for a poem/poetry is yet another good idea to try for whenever you want to jot down a few words.

Think of it along the line like this:  
     • Brainstorming creates more idealism
     • You would have a reference as to what’s being written
     • Have a prominent list for more items to choose from in which to   write about
     • The ability to rethink or rephrase anything around if need be

Many can be instantly inspired by the ever obvious things compared to those who seek out their inspiration into which to be stimulated to write about.  Furthermore, there are those who, too, make the minor mistakes of confusing readers with misplacement of verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and nouns.   True each one can either make or break the poem (as well as punctuation) but knowing when to use them properly is another key factor.  Below will be the different versions of each just to show you how the placement can be refrained from bumping heads.

1)Different versions of nouns
   A)proper noun, which names a specific person, place, or thing
    Common nouns name everything else, things that usually are not capitalized.
    C)count nouns, which name anything that can be counted
    D)mass nouns (or non-count nouns), which name something that can't be counted
    E)collective nouns, which can take a singular form but are composed of more than one individual person or items (jury, team, class, committee
    F)abstract nouns, by which we mean the kind of word that is not tangible, such as warmth, justice, grief, and peace



Such can be said as well for those who are simply amateur writers.


More to the point, if those who are able to point out a mistake, then don't hold it highly accountable against the writer especially if they're a first-time writer.
Note: this is just something that dawned on me one night while having writer's block issues

    Just asking!

    You posed the q. "What are we capable of doing as to when creative thinking applies towards a more deepening assurance to ourselves and others reading what we’ve written?

    Why should creative writing apply "towards a more deepening assurance to ourselves and others?" Can't it raise doubts about the welfare of the people?

    Very Unique!

    This is very interesting to say the least.I know there are a lot of confusing silly rules to the English language but I have never heard of count or non-count nouns either.This in itself could confuse the inexperienced poet not native to English to think there are really only two types of nouns. I would have liked to see more examples of what you wrote of: misplaced verbs, adjectives, & adverbs. I think it would better enhance this piece and make it a wonderful learning tool for all that read it On a more positive note, I really loved the philisophical equation, especially the 50/50 imagination.Thank you for sharing this with us and keep up the great work.

    Ayizan: being merely a 79-year-old Englishwoman who had a thorough grounding in English grammar and spelling, I have to ask "what on earth is a count noun or a non-count noun"? Your own command of English is very good indeed, though there are idiocyncracies which anyone who is not English can't avoid. The problem is how to point out the the problems without the person getting indignant and upset. Pointers on how to do that might be helpful to someone like me. I hope this deals with some part of what you wanted when you asked people to look at it. lol Joy
