Seserak’s trick of writing poem

February 3rd, 2006 . Posted in Trick & Tips, Uncategorized.

First, I would like to thank seserak for giving me this kind of nice trick for writing poem. I hope your trick will teach me alot as well as other friends who love poem.

Composing a Khmer poem seems rather difficult at first. For one thing, Khmer poem requires many rhymes in a single sentence, as well as rhymes connecting one sentence to another.

Ofcause writing poem is to make sentences connect to eachother by rhymes…

The trick is simple: read as many Khmer poetry as you can.

The first book that captured my heart and got me into reading and writing Khmer poems was the “Poetry of a Virgin Heart”-known in Khmer as ” Jet Kromom”- by the reknown Khmer scholar, Professor Keng Vannsak. He is also the author of another Khmer bestselling poetry”The Prison of Passions”-known in Khmer as ” Kuk Karm Keles”.

It would be must better if you could share all those book online, because i cant find it somewhere around here :(

Anyways, thank for sharing and great to see your profile on Global Voice Onlines!
