【明報專訊】W.K. has written a modern poem, which means it isn't limited by patterns of rhyme (押韻) or rhythm, and it looks more like a story than a conventional poem. It does have some patterns, however, which give it a special quality. It has very short simple lines, often starting "I saw...", "I felt...", "I remembered..." or "His face...", "His eyes...", "His voice...", and so the longer lines have more impact, such as "His last breath was taken as he finished the last word". Use different sentence lengths-in poems as well as stories and articles-to keep your writing interesting and effective.
