Introduction and welcome2:46
Create dreamy, imaginative poetry that inspires readers through metaphors, similes, and classical poetry, then write evolving poems—from one line to haiku to four lines—aiming to evoke transformative feelings.

Psychology, science, and philosophy of Imagery to evoke emotion with poetry9:26
Explore how imagery and language evoke emotion in poetry by tapping into readers' emotional memory, science, and philosophy, revealing universal human experiences.
"Slice of life" and "Art is not what but how"4:26
Craft vivid poetry by embracing a slice of life, and show rather than tell how art is not what but how it's done, so lines resonate.
Metaphors9:44
Explore how metaphors transform everyday language into vivid imagery by pairing nonliteral ideas with powerful comparisons, from the world is a stage to love is a smoke.
Similes5:50
Explore similes by using like or as to compare ideas, enriching meaning and evoking emotion, while distinguishing them from metaphors. Practice with examples and exercises to craft your own similes.
Rhyme schemes12:53
Explore how rhymes and rhyme schemes enrich poetry, using one-two-one-two structure and two-line pairs, soft and full rhymes, to create musical, memorable verse.

What makes writing a poem and not prose - poetry definition2:38
Explore what distinguishes poetry from prose by outlining elements like original ideas, imagery, metaphors, similes, and show-don't-tell. Learn to craft rhythm, tone, and evocative reading through imaginative structure.
Start with single line or "pretty" idea2:11
Begin with a one-line or 'pretty' idea and write a topic you care about, then build on it by exploring humanity, honesty, and the gray areas of life.
Starting with writing just one line of a poem3:22
Craft a single line of poetry that captures inner struggle with imagery, metaphor, and rhyme, expressing self-doubt and unfair outcomes in a safe, supportive space.
Example of a bad beginner poem7:17
Analyze why some beginner poems feel flat due to lack of imagination, imagery, and vulnerability, and contrast with a translated Beulah the kujawa poem's vivid, moving imagery.
Next step up - the Haiku4:01
Turn a single line into a three-line haiku, using a flexible five-seven-five rhythm in English. Emphasize vulnerability, cadence, and optional rhyme to craft an imagistic, memorable poem.
4-line poem that can also be a song chorus3:51
Craft a four-line poem that doubles as a song chorus, using bold imagery and metaphors to convey emotion, with a simple rhyme scheme to create a catchy, presentable verse.
Turning the short poem into a longer poem: 16-28 original lines12:36
Transform a haiku into a thirty-line poem and potential song by using a clear pre-set structure (verse, chorus, bridge) and focused edits; explore imagery, self-reflection, and brevity.

Introduction to creating your poetry book and performing2:57
Learn to set up and upload your poetry book on amazon, create a cover, publish kindle and paperback, set an accessible price, and link poems to music on youtube.
Complete setup process to publish your book on the Kindle15:25
Learn to set up a Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account, upload your manuscript, design a cover, preview formatting, and publish with pricing, royalties, and territories.
How to create a book cover on your own and quickly6:54
Create a dreamy, professional book cover yourself using free Pixabay images and Canva edits, then apply Kindle guidelines at 2560 by 1600 pixels and add the title and author text.

Description

Learn to write dreamy and imaginative poetry that inspires readers and takes them to new worlds.

Create beauty with your writing and give the gift of inspiration to others.

What you will learn

We'll start with poetry basics like similes, rhyming, metaphors, and building imagery. We will also explore the brain science of what makes people feel certain feelings. We'll combine the science with philosophy to help you understand what goes on in the mind of a reader or listener.

We'll write a poem

As you make your way through the course, you and I will write a poem together. We'll start with a 1-line image. We'll expand that into a 3-line Haiku. After that, we'll turn that into a short 4-line poem, and I'll show you how to grow your poetry beyond that.
