The Poetry Phenomenon

One of the best ways to discover the art of poetry writing is to visit the library and to read the work of some of the greatest poets who have walked the Earth. Next, it would be a good idea to study the structure and the pattern of the various types of poems, from Romantic poetry to Nature poems and from epics and ballads to sonnets, elegies, odes and epigrams. The 16th century Japanese Haiku and the new free verse of modern society are two examples of the evolution of poetry.Listening to poems can help to put you into a poetic frame of mind, while helping you to appreciate the beauty and the structure of the poems.

Reading poems can help you to feel the rhythm of the poems and appreciate the manner in which the poet has treated his subject.

Writing poetry is a great experience in itself. The three stages in writing a poem of value would be to capture an idea, visualize the thought, select a few words related to the concept, with a ring to them and then proceed to develop your idea in the form of verse. Try creating couplets, if you are good at rhyming and then start to create a style following a pattern of poems you have read. But, if you like freedom, try writing your poem in free verse.

When Will You be Famous?

There are a number of people who want to be rich and famous, almost 70 per cent of the world for that matter. Everyone who seeks fame is constantly in search of the right way to do things, to right places to be seen at, the right people to know and the right job or hobby to work act, in order to get noticed.

There are a number of ways to climb up the ladder of fame and success. We have a number of celebrities who have come from simple humble beginnings and who have then become superstars, in no time at all. The famous personalities who have made an impact in the world today and yesterday are in abundance. We have the superstars of yesteryear like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe who are icons today, in the field of entertainment. We have celebrities in all fields of endeavour, which could fill the pages of several volumes, with their famous quotes on all the aspects of life and love.

This brings us to the main question about, when will you be famous? The point is what would you have to do to be famous? To begin with, it would be a good idea to start blogging on a variety of topics which you feel strongly about. The next step would be to have a good User I.D. which is distinctive and unique, which you can use everywhere on the web for all the sites or blogs you create or for all the social network sites you join in, Facebook and Twitter, for example and for all the web forums you participate in. The third step for you to take, is to create a Youtube account and upload a few videos on topics you are interested in. The fourth step for you to take, is to write a few articles and post them onto article websites, with a proper signature at the end which links back to your blog or website. The articles and the videos you have uploaded onto various sites, represent your Public Relations network, which works for you constantly sending people to your website and blog, while promoting you and your work worldwide, with a minimum investment into publicity.

The fifth and one of the most important steps for you to take is to write a book on a topic you are interested in, so that you can be an authority on the subject. Make sure to publicize your book, with free press releases, articles on blogs and websites and by participating in Forums, which are in your Niche of interest. Within a year, and if you keep constantly updating your Twitter, you will find that you will have over 1,000 followers who are interested in what you have to say. I have found that it has helped having an I.D. like Warrenpeace21 on a variety of networks spread all across the web. The important point to keep in mind is that Fame does not come in a day, but after years of hard work and research. Make Fame your mission, and once you have acquired it and feel sick of it, make sure to hire a good Life Coach like myself, instead of ending your precious life like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, River Phoenix or Heath Ledger, tragic superstars, innocent victims of Fame and Success.
