There are various reasons why people compose poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe a certain image in the readers mind. Others try to convey certain feelings such as joy and sorrow. The distinctive characteristics of poetry often include economical use of words, descriptive and vivid language, integrated imagery, literary devices such as similes and metaphors, and arrangement of words, lines, rhymes, and rhythm. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. Now we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。有些诗是为了叙事,或者说是描述读者心目中的某个形象。而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情,比如喜悦和悲伤。诗歌的显著特点通常包括:用词简洁;语言描述生动、形象; 具备整合的意象:使用明喻和隐喻等文学手法:词、句韵、节奏等编排有序。诗人用许多不同格式的诗来表达自己的情感。现在我们来看看几种格式比较简单的诗。
Some of the first poems a young child learns in English are nursery rhymes. They are usually the traditional poems or folk songs. The language of these rhymes, like Poem A, is to the point but has a storyline. Many children enjoy nursery rhymes because they rhyme, have a strong rhythm, and often repeat the same words. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes children learn about language.
孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。它们通常是传统的诗歌或民歌。这些童谣(如诗歌A)的语言简单明了,但带有故事情节。许多孩子喜欢童谣,因为它们押韵,节奏感强,并较多单词重复。童谣不一定有什么意义,甚至(有的)看来自相矛盾,但是它们容易学,也容易背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏,孩子们学习了语言。
A
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat.
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa’s going to buy you another today.
Nursery rhyme
小宝宝,别说话爸爸给你买个知更鸟,
知更鸟不会唱爸爸给你买个钻石戒。
钻石戒,变成铜,爸爸给你买个小镜子。
小镜子,打破了爸爸给你买个小山羊。
如果小山羊变老了,爸爸给你买驾牛车。

One of the simplest kinds of poem is the "list poem", which contains a list of things, people, ideas, or descriptions that develop a particular theme. List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme( like B and C), while others do not.
清单诗是诗歌中最简单的一种,它包含一系列发展特定主题的事物、人物想法或描述。清单诗可长可短,可以重复一些短语,较为灵活,形成固定句型和诗的节奏。有些清单诗有韵脚(如B和C),但有一些没有。
Only one mother
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

乔治·库柏
天空夜星如织,
海滨贝壳满地,
鸟儿鸣唱飞过
羊儿沐浴阳光,
黎明四野朝露,
苜蓿蜜蜂成群,
草从蝴蝶争艳,
但世界浩瀚,我唯有一母。
LIFE
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful but sometimes sad,
Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts,
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.

Another simple form of poem that amateurs can easily write is the cinquain, which is made up of five lines. With these, you can convey a strong picture or a certain mood in just a few words. Look at the example( D)
另外一种业余爱好者容易写的简体诗是由五行组成的,叫做五行诗。用五行诗,你可以用少量的词语传递一幅动人的画面或某一特定的心情。请看例子D。

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that consists of 17 syllables. It has a format of three lines, containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and, like the cinquain, can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using very few words. The haiku poem( E)on the right is a translation from Japanese, which shows a moment in the life of a delicate butterfly.
俳句诗(Haiku)是一种日本诗,由17个音节组成。它是三行格式,分别包含5、7和5个音节。它不属英诗的传统形式,但是在用英语写作的人们中间,这种诗也是很流行的。它容易写,而且像五行诗一样,它可以用最少的词语呈现出幅清晰的画面,表达出一种特殊的感情。右边的徘句诗(E)就是从日文翻译出来的,展示了一只蝴蝶生命中的一个瞬间。

有了这么多可供选择的诗歌类型,你最终也许想自己作诗了。试一试吧!
Where she awaits her husband on and on the river flows.
Never looking back, transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top, wind and rain revolve.
Should the journeyer return, this stone would utter speech.
