Some Top Tier Character Tropes:
Before I start, I just want to make it clear that I am in no way an expert on this - but recently I’ve been doing poetry for a creative writing class at uni, and I’ve really enjoyed learning more and thought you all would too! So let’s get started:
1) Think about form, but don’t be afraid to switch it up - I used to be obsessed with archaic structure, but even if you don’t use iambic pentameter you can still have a good structure. Writing with traditional forms is great, but you’ve got to remember that with these forms come a lot of assumptions and you might be making your life harder than it needs to be. Without a traditional form/metre, you could use structure to exemplify meaning by establishing your own simple structure and then changing it at an important point in your poem.
2) That being said, don’t be afraid to use rhyme or any sort of old form. It can be really fun and really test your vocabulary - at this stage in the poetry world, poetry takes a lot of forms, but that doesn’t mean we need to forget old forms.
3) At the same time, never just rhyme something for the sake of it. Everyone knows if a word is just there for the sake of the rhyme - if it doesn’t work in the poem, find a rhyme that fits or drop it completely.
4) Take out every word you can and have it still make sense. You’ll have heard this one before, but it’s still one of the most useful things I’ve ever heard for poetry.
5) Think about how the poem sounds. If you’re writing about waves crashing on the seashore, it might be cool to use words that sound like that - lots of ‘s’ and ‘sh’ sounds might work for that. In the same way, if you’re talking about something falling, lots of quite blunt sounds like ‘b’s and ‘d’s would have a really cool effect for that.
6) Make sure to read your poem out loud. Some things just don’t sound as right out loud as they seem on paper. That’s okay, but reading it out loud lets you identify and fix that.
7) Sometimes it might not work as poetry. That’s okay! Sometimes a story is more suited to prose, and that doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it just means you need to adapt.
8) Don’t be scared of concrete poetry. Concrete poetry is where your poem looks like what you’re talking about. This can look so cool, but again, don’t do it for the sake of doing it. Do it to give your poem more meaning!
9) Get rid of cliches. Phrases like ‘love’s embrace’ should be hacked out of your poem. Those are other peoples words, what do you have to say?
10) Let other people read it. Not only is it great to show other people your work, letting other people read it means they might see things you’ve missed, and your poetry will be better because of it.
11) And most of all experiment! You’re never going to write an amazing poem if you don’t try. Poetry can seem terrifying, but you don’t need to have a master in English Literature to write poetry - you just need words, some emotion and your own personal style.

So instead of spending time with the fam I spent time drawing angry raptor birbs
“Oooooh i cant not love and protect her”
I was curious what they would look like, so here are human versions of the main six! (This took way, way longer than I thought it would)
Kinda looks like a year book, now that I’m looking at it. Gurjin must have had some seriously bad luck on picture day.

“They are very kind,” [Jen] said boldly. “They loved me and cared for me.” Aughra looked at him, her face doubtful. “Loving. Caring. That don’t destroy a Skeksis.”
