Poet teacher Lesson 1

Become a master in a day

Here is Sanjay on the essense of poetry. In this lesson, we will learn how to behave in class.
Just kidding, as long as you live outside of a ten mile radius of me you can do anything you want
The lesson really covers what words to pick for your poem.

TIP #1

Use big words.

If you have to write a poem, and you have no skill, you can fake it because no one knows what antidisestablishmentarianism means.
It can also help the rythym

TIP #2

Use words that fit the audience.

If for example, the audience to which you are writing does not know French. Avoid using words like aller and bonjour and french fries.
Never use Spanish because I don't know it and the world revolves around me contrary to what my science teacher says about the sun

TIP #3

If you are trying to rhyme, pick words that rhyme with lots of things.

If you pick words that don't rhyme with anyhing you can get in trouble
Example

That Sam I am, that Sam I am, I do not like that Sam I am
Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh......... Fullacahwham.
As you can see, the poet hesitates and makes up words like 'green eggs and ham' because nothing rhymes with 'am'
