I need to rewrite a short story into some kind of poetry, any kind. It does not have to be word for word just the same plot.

Poems can follow all kinds of formats, and unless your assignment tells you specifically what kind, you are free to create anything! Find the key story-telling points of your short story, the things that if left out would leave a hole in how it goes. Write down this list of points in the order they happen. You can go through each line of your list, and play with the words a little, exchange blah adjectives like "scary" with words like "horrific," "terrifying" etc. You can make the last words of each line, or point, rhyme,or alternate the rhyme to every other line. (Rhyming, by the way, is optional!) You can play with the story structure as well as the words you use to tell it, like telling Red Riding Hood from the Woodcutter's point of view, or beginning your poem with the end of the story, and going back to tell the tale. Have fun with this, you have a chance not to follow someone else's rules for once! Hope this helps:)

First think about something that makes you happy, or sad, then put it into as sentence. After that, think of a rhymining word for the last word or two words.\nBefore you know it you'll be writing a poem!

I do not know of male love poems, but if you could find a copy of " What Sappho would have said" by Emma Donoghue. you might find something you could adapt.\nRose P.

A shot poem:\n\nI got a shot so I wouldn't get the flu\nThen I went to the bar for a shot or two \nBut I won't go hunting with Cheney cause I might get shot if I do\n\n\nWrite about Posiedon.  He's one of my favorites. \n\n Writing a poem isn't\n hard.   \nYou don't even \nhave to make it rhyme. \nJust say a bunch of stuff\nand then say it \nin  a different way.\nAnd make the  lines all different lengths\nSome short\nSome incredibly extrememley unnaturally long\nAnd repeat something\nand  repeat something.

Aw, that's cute. :)\nI probably could whip up a poem for you, but I usually charge. I'm a published poet you see. I'll do things for free for my friends though.\nJust send that poem. If you wrote it yourself it will be that much more special to your friend. :)

Words don't have to be big or long or anything to be unique and descriptive. Just try elaborative sentences like "horses' mains are delicate shreds of gloss" or something like that.

what if there were no way of telling time?\nhaiku:\nThe sun is setting\nIt is getting dark outside\nNearly time for bed\n(I don;t know if this would work or not...giving it my best)\n\nYou could then write a Cinquain and a limerick\n\nCinquain:\nLine 1 - one word that names a subect\nLine 2 - two words that describe the subject\nLine 3 - three verbs that describe actions related to the subject\nLine 4 - four words that express a feeling about the subject\nLine 5 - one word that refers to or is a synonym for the subject\n\nLimerick:\nA limerick is a funny, five-line poem with a strong beat. It has a rhyme scheme of aabba. Lines 1,2,and 5 each have three beats. Lines 3 and 4 each have two beats.\n\nor you could to a quatrain:\nThequatrain is a four-line poem. Its rhyme scheme man be aabb,abab,abcb, abcb\n\nThese are probably 3 of the easiest, so you can choose 2 of them. To get good examples, I will post the site in the sources.

Yep.  Read more poems.  Frost, Burns, Shelley, others.  Your style may somewhat resemble one, maybe even Poe.  \n\nPoems have emotional content and feeling when they are most memorable, so don't overlook the opportunity when situations provoke similar feelings in you.\n\nYou need a greased track of words though, something that comes with exercise of your language talents.  You will need to become a buddy of dictionaries and thesauri.\n\nTry things like describing the current weather so well that any reader instantly sees what you are seeing.\n\nSimilar exercises are possible, your dog, an unusual friend.\n\nPoems pop out kind of magically sometimes if you are a person affording them such an opportunity.\n\nLook also at the words of songs and hymns.\n\nDo your own rewrites of some of these.  Wonderful new stanzas and poems have come that way.
