"I'm so glad that in my "Xinghua Anthology", today I finally filled a blank in the column - new style poems. Although she is still fragile in her infancy, she will definitely walk on the earth one day. "Read Mr. Chen Benhao's prose "Fill in the Blanks" and share the author's process of creating poetry.
I love to read poetry, but I don't know how to write poetry, and I'm ashamed that I didn't feel like that material by nature. I once learned to write a few new poems to submit, and I was really laughed at by the teachers, "I'm not a poet, what are you doing to make a scene"?
When I was studying, I blushed when I saw female classmates, and after decades, I still still don't get used to being alone with women, especially young and beautiful women. I can't untie the shackles of tradition, I lack poetic romance, I often think, I'm afraid I can't write poetry in this life, even if I write poetry, I will definitely be laughed at again.
After entering the literary circle, I was often encouraged to write poetry, and some people once said to me, if you write poetry, you will definitely write better than prose, because your prose is full of poetry. As soon as there were many people who said it, I was a little moved, so I quietly dreamed of being a poet. Poetry is now marginal literature, but poets are remarkable in my heart. A few sentences, a few lines of poetry summarize the world, the passion that burns the soul between the poems, especially the flickering light, condenses into the phantom of an angel, "so white angel, sleeping sideways on the rose petals in the air.......""It's intoxicating and captivating, I want to be a poet so much. I think that even if I can't write a complete poem, I can always write a few lines like a poem, so that I can get closer to the poet. At that time, I could say to the poet that I used to write poetry, and that feeling was very comfortable to think about.
If you think of it, you should do it, no matter what, you have to try, the knife is not sharpened or fast, and the road is not uneven. I had read four books, and I had a little bit of an old foundation, and at the beginning I learned to write a few poems in the old style, and the teacher said to me after reading them: "Yes, it's a bit of poetry, and it can really make people smell a little poetry." "Later, I started to write new style poems. The new poems seem to be more difficult to write than the old ones, and I can't write poetic sentences for a while, and I can't enter the artistic conception of the poem, which is both painful and unconvinced. In desperation, I had to go to the door to ask for advice, but fortunately there were several big-name poets around me. They told me that poetry is a song in the heart, and the most taboo is to be straightforward, and it must be written with artistic conception; Someone even gave me a wonderful analogy, saying that you originally wanted to write one, but you might as well try to write two, but let people evolve one from two; The line in the poem should be like a winding mountain road, giving people the yearning and guidance ...... of "beautiful scenery is ahead" in the twists and turnsI don't seem to understand these statements, but they give me a hazy beauty. Perhaps, this is poetry. The poets' minds seem to be easy to enter the misty fog, and their poems can successfully make people walk from the real colors into dreams, and make the soul dance in a magic of illusion. Perhaps, this is the poet's will. The teacher's guidance did not completely dissolve the maze, and I seemed to be standing in the fog looking at Lushan, but I was greatly attracted. Although it is still a bit nonsense, I have realized in the depths of my mind that I am afraid that I have already formed a relationship with poetry since then, and I really will not stop without writing a few poems. So, I started to write short sentences, layered on top of each other like terraces, and from a distance, it looked a bit like poetry.
No matter what genre I write, I still write about life and emotions first, these are real, like footprints on the snow, I don't need to measure them, I know my size. I don't need to make it up like writing **, I just need to cut out the fragments of my life and make them poetic. After writing a few new poems, the teacher commented that the artistic conception is very good and the organization is very clear, but it makes people unable to read the poetry, it is too hard, and the sentence must be softly landed. I am used to writing prose, and I am not familiar with the sentences of the poem for a while, so I feel stupid and inflexible. Stupid people often have stupid methods, so I took the poem manuscript and asked the teacher to annotate it line by line, line by line, or even completely rewrite it, but asked not to change the theme or the meaning of the sentence. In this way, it was the teacher's turn to be in trouble, but it was I who benefited. I compared the sentence changed by the teacher with my original sentence, and I had an epiphany. I believe in feelings, as long as you find the feelings, you can get the key, you can open the locks, if you are lucky, inspiration comes, maybe you will also meet sesame seeds to open the door. The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and my heart is like a waterfall on a falling rock.

The wind came, the flowers fell, the dust and sand flew, the rain and tears fell, the butterflies danced the dream into flowers, and the early windowsill still gave me a withered grass.
