A poem is a form of literary expression that uses rhythmic and figurative language to convey emotions, ideas, and experiences in a concentrated and imaginative way.

Puisi adalah bentuk ekspresi sastra yang menggunakan bahasa ritmis dan kiasan untuk menyampaikan emosi, gagasan, dan pengalaman secara padat dan imajinatif.

Spending time in nature can give you a sense of peace and inspire your next work of poetry.

Menghabiskan waktu di alam dapat memberi Anda rasa damai dan menginspirasi karya puisimu berikutnya.

HOW TO MAKE POEM :

1. Finding Inspiration ( Mencari Inspirasi )

- Read some existing nature poetry. (Bacalah puisi alam yang sudah ada)

Great writers read extensively. Reading nature poetry that's already been published by successful poets can give you ideas, inspiration, and can open your eyes to what's possible in a nature poem.

- Spend time in nature. ( Habiskan waktu di alam )

If you're interested in writing a poem about nature, the best way to start is by going out into nature. Whether you go for a short walk, a long camping trip, or anything in between, getting outdoors will help you find inspiration and imagery.

- Write your observations. ( Tulis pengamatanmu)

When you're out in nature (however you define it), you should begin to feel inspired or creative as you take in your surroundings. It's okay if it doesn't come to you right away - you can always analyze your thoughts/feelings later.

2. Beginning to Write ( Mulai untuk menulis )

- Use your imagination. ( Gunakan imajinasimu )

Poetry is, of course, often image-heavy. You may have a lot of image-based observations that you've written while spending time in nature, but how do you turn those into actual lines of poetry? One of the easiest ways to start is with your imagination and your initial observations.

- Find a theme. ( Temukan sebuah tema )

Before you begin to actually compose a poem, you'll want to think about what your poem will actually be about. Obviously it will involve nature, but in what way? Why are you in nature, and what are you taking away from it? Perhaps your trip into nature allowed you to reflect on things going on in your life, or maybe you remembered going for long walks with a deceased relative when you were younger. Whatever you think your nature experience is "about," write it down and try to elaborate on it as much as possible.

- Build off of your chosen theme. ( Kembangkan tema yang telah kamu pilih )

Once you have your theme in mind, it may be helpful to build off of it so you have some related ideas to expand on in your poem. If nothing else, building off of your chosen theme may at least give you a bank of words/phrases to draw from that can help enrich your final piece of writing.

3. Crafting a Poem ( Membuat puisi )

- Decide if you want your poem to rhyme or not. ( Putuskan apakah puisi anda berirama atau tidak )

Poetry does not have to rhyme, but rhyming can add an almost musical quality to the words that you write. Rhyming can also help you to emphasize certain words and ideas in your poem. Think about whether or not you would like your poem to rhyme and where you might place rhyming words in your poem.

- Choose a form. ( Pilih sebuah bentuk )

There are many different poetic forms. You can also choose to write in free-form, meaning there are no "rules" to follow for line length, structure, or arrangement. There is no single right or wrong way of writing a poem, and which form you choose will likely depend on your style as well as what you hope to accomplish with your poem.

- Write a rough draft. ( Tulis draft kasar )

If you've chosen a form to work with, your draft should incorporate the images, descriptions, and memories you've compiled into the prescribed structure of that form. If you are writing a free-form poem, you do not have to worry about the structural "rules" of form and can experiment as you create.

- Incorporate simile and metaphor. ( Masukan simile dan metafor )

Simile and metaphor are often what makes a poem's verses poetic. They often use concrete words to describe abstract comparisons, like saying "His eyes were an inferno" to describe someone's expression of anger.

- Find and improve clichés. ( Temukan dan perbaiki klise )

Clichés can be thought of as dull or overused word choices and literary elements. They may have come easily as you wrote your first draft, but a cliché can quickly turn readers off to your work. Rather than saying something in a way that's tired and played out, try to come up with an original way to say what your cliché is supposed to convey. Even if it's a bit confusing or nonsensical, it will surprise and captivate a reader, rather than make readers roll their eyes.

- Revise your poem. ( Revisi puisimu )

Every writer knows that revision is an important part of the writing process, and poetry is no different. Revision doesn't just mean correcting typos (although you should do that as well). Some useful strategies for revision include
