Takeaways

• 😀 Determining the theme and title of a poem is crucial to guide the reader's understanding and emotional connection.
• 😀 The theme of a poem represents the main idea or the 'heart' of the poem, while the title can be chosen after the poem is created.
• 😀 Identifying key words, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives, helps in building the foundation for writing a poem.
• 😀 Diction (choice of words) is important in making the poem more unique, beautiful, and meaningful by selecting words with careful consideration of their nuances.
• 😀 Rhyme (Rima) is the repetition of sounds at the end of lines in a poem, which adds rhythm and aesthetic appeal.
• 😀 An example of rhyme: In the poem's lines 'hatiku' and 'rindu,' the similar vowel sound at the end of the words creates the rhyme.
• 😀 To write a poem, one can start by finding key words from a specific image, focusing on nouns (objects), verbs (actions), and adjectives (descriptions).
• 😀 For instance, a beach scene at sunset can inspire key words like 'waves,' 'sunset,' 'gaze,' and 'silence' which are then formed into a poem.
• 😀 In the poem 'Merindu,' key words such as 'waves,' 'sunset,' 'gaze,' and 'silence' are used to create an evocative and emotional connection with the theme of longing (rindu).
• 😀 The lesson concludes with a summary of the four essential steps in writing a poem: theme and title selection, identifying key words, diction choice, and incorporating rhyme.
