From time to time, everyone has to ask for forgiveness from dear and close people. Sometimes you want to do it somehow in an original way, in order to surely touch the soul of a person. An apology in verse is unusual and beautiful.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, think again who you are going to write an apology in verse. Are you sure that the young man will really appreciate your work? Does he appreciate poetry as such, or does he shudder at the mere mention of it? If you have a negative attitude towards poetry, he is unlikely to be happy with your apology.
Step 2
If you have firmly decided to apologize in verse, then it's time to choose a way of writing. The easiest one is to order a text. There are people who write poetry to order. You can easily find them on the Internet. The next option is to redo some famous text or one that your boyfriend likes. In this case, you will have a reference and a template in one bottle. And the most difficult option is to write the text from scratch. It is advisable to soberly assess your poetic abilities and decide what you really have enough for. After all, an apology should be beautiful and evoke positive emotions. You can try the third and second methods first, and if suddenly nothing happens, then you should already seek help from a specialist.
Step 3
If you decide to write yourself, then there are a few rules you should remember. First, the text should be specific, with an appeal, so that it is clear from it why you are asking for forgiveness.
Step 4
The text should be neither long nor short. Optimally 8-12 lines.
Step 5
Follow the rhythm. Especially if you chose the option with the alteration of the known text. In this case, the rhythm must match completely. If you write yourself, then you have room to choose the rhythm, but it should still be more or less even. If you are not sure if you will hear breakdowns of the rhythm by ear, you can count the number of syllables in the lines and the distribution of stressed and unstressed syllables. A certain system must be traced, some kind of constantly repeating unit.
Step 6
Rhyme is no less important, unless, of course, you decide to write a blank verse. In this case, the rhythm will be much more important to you than in the case of rhymed verse. The fact is that rhyme creates an additional sense of rhythm due to consonances, emphasis on the ends of the lines. Try not to use banal rhymes (blood-love-again, roses-tears-frost, always-never, you-me-yourself, etc.). Especially beware of rhyming pronouns and cognates. And try to do without grammatical rhymes (this is when words rhyme in the same grammatical forms). Especially often they use verb rhymes: kill, love, heal, drill … You can continue indefinitely, because in the same form the verbs have the same endings and they all rhyme. In general, the use of any of the listed rhymes (except for the same root) is not a crime, but they make the text less interesting.
Step 7
The text should have an effective bright ending, it is best to place an apology directly at the end.
