<p><strong>Author: <a title="Francis  Githinji" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/francis--githinji/58341.htm">Francis  Githinji</a></strong><br />
Valentine cards poems are used to make the moment of love feel extra special. Poems of love that are from the heart will make anyone&#8217;s knees very weak with affection. For this reason, when you have a good opportunity to write a good love poem, it is probably wise to look for those words that are heartfelt and sincere. Valentine cards poems should be just right. In other words, they should be very thoughtful. The day of lovers is one that is different from the rest and, the least you can do is to recognize the special day. Among many other things, writing poems can dramatically change your relationship and make it a hub of love. Love in a relationship must be built and this is to say that the little things we do play a major role in creating a strong union. Therefore I cannot insist enough on the need to create a strong bond through gestures like poems; especially on Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>Valentine cards poems come in different designs and shapes. However, the most important aspect in them is the kind of poems they have. Valentine cards poems need to be very well thought of. This is not to say that they need to be perfect. Further from the truth, it is not possible to write a perfect poem but, you can do your very best which is good enough. Many people shiver at the thought of writing a poem for the people they love. Many fear that they might not do a very good job in this regard. Others are just not willing to go that extra mile when it comes to strengthening their relationships. However, when you are ready to give anything for love, you will be of the mind set that good poetic words are worth it. If you have never done it before, there is always a first time and you might be just a poem away from happiness in your relationship.</p>
<p>To write excellent Valentine cards poems, you need to do several things. First, you need to be willing to please your partner. All lovers who love each other want to please each other. The other step is to have some confidence. Be sure of what you will express in your poem. Then, look for great ideas of poems to inspire you. When your words are sincere, there is no doubt that you will enhance your relationship in this regard. Poems are all over and, when you are not able to find those special poetic words, you can copy a great poem and communicate your message in words that are already written. However, if you take time to look for your very own words, you might come with something that will make a world of difference. Your words need not be perfect; no body is looking for perfection. With confidence, express your love poetically and you will spark more love and affection. Write poems to your lady or man. This is because others think that poems are written just for women. A relationship is built by two people for it to stand; make the special day of love a day worth celebrating.<strong>About the Author:</strong></p>

<p>Valentines is a very special day and for this reason, you look for different ways in  which you can make it more special. From your dressing to the places you go on that day, you choose to outdo yourself as you celebrate the love in the air. There are so many things that make the day special. Different people appreciate different things and it is vital to know the taste of the person you love so that you can please them completely. Among many other things, poems really make the day of lovers very special. Poems will speak to the heart and really capture the deep emotion that has been inspired by love. Good Valentine poems can be difficult to come up with when you choose to go with poems. However, this is not to say that you will not be in a position to write one that will capture the people or person you are writing it for. You do not have to be a poet to engage poetic words of love. Therefore be encouraged and learn several things. The following is a guide to writing good Valentine poems that will make an impact.</p>
<p>Good Valentine poems must have a deep message. This is because you want to communicate something and when you are doing this, it might as well be something deep. Before writing, have in mind what you want to say. In other words, preconceive the poem and this will underpin the direction of your poem. The best way to imagine the poem is through your heart. Let your heart guide you to picking the different words that you use. Many people often miss the point when they want to produce a perfect poem. It is not about being perfect; it is about showing the other person how you feel in the best way possible. Therefore, forget about perfection and be yourself; no one can really claim to be perfect. The other thing to know before you write good Valentine poems is that the poem needs to be personal. This is not difficult to achieve at all. What you need is a good knowledge of what your recipient would appreciate. For example, they might love animals, particulars cartoons or any other thing. Once you have known what your recipients really love, it is time to look for ways in which you can add that to the poem.</p>
<p>Good Valentine poems are presented in an attractive manner. This is because creativity in this regard will impress all people who hear it. For example, some people chose to use soft tones while others choose different amusing tones. Also, the timing of the poem really matters a lot. The best way is to present poems when the other person least expects it. This is to ensure that they are caught off guard. There are people who write very good poems for that day but never keep all the words in the head. You might see them referring to a piece of paper while presenting the poem. The best thing is to spare enough time where you can get all the words in and on the special day, you will literally sing it out to your lover.</p>

<p><strong>Author: <a title="Www.ipublishabook.com" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/www.ipublishabook.com/219401.htm">Www.ipublishabook.com</a></strong>
<p>If you want to write poetry, take a look around you. There are plenty of ideas all around you. I would suggest you go through the park for a stroll with pen and paper. Pay attention and try to write down things you have observed like; the trees, the leaves, the people walking around, the color of the sky, things that spark your imagination.    </p>
<p>One of the best ways to get ideas to write poetry is by the observation of others. Write down some of the conversation you hear, what they are wearing, lovers holding hands or lovers in a quarrel. The ideas are to pay attention and take as much notes as you can. You will not be writing your poetry at this time. </p>
<p>You can browse through old pictures that can spark a blissful moment n your life or a not so blissful moment if your life. You can also go through magazine to come up with idea about the photos. Same thing can be said for listening to music. Certain type of music when you close your eyes can take you to a whole new place that can open the flood gate of your imagination and allowed the words to just flow on the paper.</p>
<p>Now that you have find ways to become creative to write poetry, one would have to decide what types of poetry I should write. If you are not sure of the style of poetry writing, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ipublishabook.com">http://www.ipublishabook.com</a> will list them to give you a better understanding.</p>
<p>Haiku: <br />Haiku comes in many different styles. A haiku can be three lines long with five syllables on the first line, seven syllables on the second line and five syllables on the third line. Haiku’s are not the easiest poetry to write.</p>
<p>Narrative Poems: <br />One of my favorite ways to write poetry is to write narrative poems. These stories should be short with a beginning, middle and conclusion.</p>
<p>Lyric Poems: <br />Lyric poems sound very similar to songs. The lyrics are put together in a rhyming patterns..</p>
<p>A Sonnet: Sonnets are lyrical songs. Sonnets are long and dramatic, tell a story.<br />Free Verse: Free verses do not have to rhyme. They can be short or long with any style you want.  </p>
<p>Writing poetry and publish poetry can be fun. The styles <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ipublishabook.com">http://www.ipublishabook.com</a> has listed are only some basic forms of poetry. Decide what subject that interests you. Write a first draft and then go away from the poetry for a while and come back with clear eyes so it can have the proper feel and love. Have fun writing poetry.</p>

<p>aiku, limerick, sonnet, acrostic, free verse and song.<br />The list of poem types is oh so long.</p>
<p>Not all of them rhyme or contain a set number of beats.<br />But they do all have passion and create an emotional heat.</p>
<p>Okay enough of the rhyming and onto the how to…</p>
<p>Poetry is the art of writing thoughts and ideas into an imaginative language, which usually contains, rhyme, verse, meter and repetition. There are many different types of poems.  Some follow strict rules while others allow you to write freely allowing the words to flow.  </p>
<p>Poetry expresses and conjures up personal thoughts, feelings and emotions.  No matter what style of poem you chose to write, they all require some of the same general elements.   </p>
<p>DECIDE ON YOUR POETRY STYLE.  Understanding the different types of poems will help you decide on what type of poem you should write.  Not sure?  Try reading all the different types of poems.  If something jumps out at you as intriguing, learn about it and give it a try.  But don’t worry too much about this&#8211; the best form for your poem will manifest itself while you are writing.</p>
<p>FIND YOUR MUSE.  Birth of a child, death of a loved one, love lost, love found, turning points; inspiration is all around us.  Open your eyes and dig deep.  Don’t be afraid to show emotion and share your experiences with the reader.  </p>
<p>CREATE YOUR FRAMEWORK. Even if you chose to write a free verse poem it still has an underlying structure, even if it appears not to.  Poems depend on rhythm, rhyme, tension and release.  Words get power from their arrangement.  Your poem should have an invisible pulse. </p>
<p>DECIDE YOUR MOOD.  Once your inspired, your muse has been summoned and you’re your framework mounted it is now time to conjure up the mood and tone of your poem.  You do not need to stick to stereotypical moods, a poem about death can be light and positive; you are free to interpret your subject in anyway you see fit.  Without a defined tone your poem will drift across the emotional spectrum leaving the reader confused. Use a thesaurus in your quest for the perfect words to evoke a desired tone.  Don’t be afraid to change the tone if it isn’t working.</p>
<p>CREATE METAPHORS. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a phrase is applied to something that it is not literally applicable to, in order to suggest resemblance.  Using metaphors will evoke deeper and more imaginary stanzas. </p>
<p>USE POETIC DEVICES. Poetic devices enhance your poem&#8217;s beauty and meaning. Poetic devices include rhyme, meter, metaphor, assonance, alliteration, and repetition. Poetic devices can make a poem.  However, you must use poetic devices wisely because if they bring too much attention to themselves, they can have the reverse effect. </p>
<p>CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORDS.  A poem is “the best words in the best order”.  Therefore you need the best words.  There aren’t as many words in a poem as there are in other sorts of writing.  Choose carefully.  Play with words and their sounds.  Explore imagery and vivid descriptions; don’t be afraid to be creative while penning a strong structure of words.</p>
<p>SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST.  Imagine the last line of your poem is the punch line to a joke.  You want this line to evoke emotions and resonate with the reader.  A powerful last line will leave your reader pondering your words and message far after their eyes leave the page.</p>
<p>GET FEEDBACK.  Listen to your poem.  Read it out loud and then have someone else read it to you.  How does it sound?  The words should trickle off the tongue.  Ask others how it sounds and how it reads.  Remember, although it may sting, constructive criticism only makes it better. </p>

<p>People believe that memoirs are written by great leaders, celebrities, and dignitaries. Only they would have stories interesting enough for people to read. Most people think “Who would want to read my story” and “What would I write about?” </p>
<p>However, even the simplest person may have an interesting story to tell. Therefore, it is a good idea to consider writing a memoir; not only for personal satisfaction, but also as a valuable treasure chest of memories to be left for family and future generations. </p>
<p>With a new concept that has been introduced, online memoir writing, you can write and record your memoirs on a website. It’s like an online journal that only you have access to, as it gives you a dedicated password and user id. Also, when you are recording details on a website, you don’t need to bother with pens, ink and paper. </p>
<p>An <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/memoirs/my-memoir.html" target="_blank">online memoir</a> gives you the guarantee that your document will be safe and you have the additional convenience of working at your own pace. Several <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/our_product.html" target="_blank">online writing tools </a>further simplify the task by giving you tips, ideas, suggestions, and chronological sequence of important events to jog your memory. All this helps greatly in writing your memoirs.  </p>
<p>Before you consider writing your memoir, plan it very carefully. Identifying your target audience will help you decide the tone to choose for writing it. For your friends and family, a more personal and intimate tone would be appropriate. However, if your target is a more general audience, a crisp professional writing style should be adopted. </p>
<p>So, get down to recording your life with <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/memoirs/memoir-writing.html" target="_blank">online memoir writing</a>.

<p><strong>Author: <a title="Mikal Jhonson" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mikal-jhonson/184335.htm">Mikal Jhonson</a></strong>
<p>Online story writing is for one and all and not only the prominent people in society. Technological innovations like computers, Internet, and audio and video images have made it possible for all of us to capture the finest moments of our life. This article will give you some basic tips that will help you write your memoirs more easily. </p>
<p>When you take up <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com" target="_blank">online story writing</a>, it is important to decide what you are going to write about &#8211; your travels, or people you’ve met, incidents you’ve seen, good and bad experiences you’ve had or social changes you’ve witnessed. Once that is decided, you will know exactly what incidents to focus on, thereby avoiding unnecessary details. </p>
<p>When talking about your <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/autobiography/your-life-story.html" target="_blank">life story online</a> use a lot of descriptive and evocative words. Avoid being vague and leaving things to the interpretation of your audience. Try to use language that conjures up an image in the minds of the readers. This will elevate their reading experience to a whole new level. </p>
<p>When writing your online life story, choose short sentences over long-winded, protracted ones. That helps to speed up the pace of the story. With too many long sentences, the reader might get too bored and feel like giving up half way. </p>
<p>Be extremely particular about maintaining consistency in the tone of the language, accuracy of grammar, punctuation and syntax. The greatest idea can get lost if caught in these fine details. You want your readers to be hooked on by your <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/autobiography/your-life-story.html" target="_blank">online life story</a>, not point out grammar discrepancies. </p>
<p>And last, but not the least, review what you’ve written. Once you’ve written something, leave it for a while and come back after a few days to read it. Does it say exactly what you wanted it to? Many times people find that what they’ve written is very different from what they think they’ve written. This tactic helps you review your work with a fresh perspective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>What to Keep in Mind when you write Short Stories Online</h1>
<p><strong>Author: <a title="Mikal Jhonson" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mikal-jhonson/184335.htm">Mikal Jhonson</a></strong>
<p>Writing short stories is a genre in its own right and varies a lot from the other styles of writing. Many people have taken to writing short stories online to express themselves and explore their creativity. Like each specific style of writing, short stories have certain features that need to be kept in mind. Let’s look at these requirements in this article. </p>
<p>While a word count is essential when you write your story online, don’t focus too much on it. It may stunt the story and your natural style of writing. Consider the word count only when you’ve finished the first draft and you are starting to edit it. </p>
<p>When you <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/content/whatsnew.html" target="_blank">write short stories online</a>, have only a few characters. Include only those characters that are most relevant to the story. That way, you will be able to do more justice to their characterization. Also, avoid giving too much background information on these characters. Only provide information that is crucial to the development of the story. </p>
<p>When you <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/index/help.html" target="_blank">write your own stories online</a>, you do not have the luxury of using too many descriptive words. What may start as a short story may well end up as a novella if you are not careful about the amount of description and embellishment that goes into the story.</p>
<p>When you <a href="http://www.writemymemoirs.com/content/take_a_tour.html" target="_blank">write your story online</a>, you have very little room to deviate from the main plot of the story. Your short story should be crisp and fast paced. The events that follow through the course of the story should only include ones that are essential to the progress of the story.</p>
<p>Get straight to the point. Don’t spend too much time to build up the story. That would be a waste of time and words. Since there is a word limit, you need to get rid of the fluff. If you put too many words into the introduction and you have only a few left for the climax, it could ruin the effect of the story.</p>
