<span style="font-style: italic;">Ars Poetica</span> can be defined as the art of poetry. In presenting the art of poetry in a poem, the poet <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/archibald-macleish" target="_blank">Archibald MacLeish</a> assumed double responsibilitie to make the sense of the poem describe a poem and to show this poem to be an example of the kind of poem of which he writes. That is a poem should be. In this case, <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/6371" target="_blank">"Ars Poetica"</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>can inspire how to write poems. Before writing poems, it is useful to read all of the poems in this collection as models and patterns for you to imitate while you are learning the basics of creative writing. When you read one of these poems you will say to yourself, “I think I can write that!” and then try to write a poem. You will not be expected to duplicate these models, but to mine them for ideas and inspirations that will help you to express your own thoughts and feelings in poetry. </div>

The poet <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/william-carlos-williams" target="_blank">William Carlos Williams</a> is just to say that he has eaten some plums, “I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast. Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold.” This is not just to say in an ordinary way. With his poetical sense, he says it in poetical composition, "<a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/245576" target="_blank">This Is Just To Say</a>". </div>

For your inspiration, you can start writing your poem with a short or concrete one.

Directions: After you can write a concrete poem, you may try to write an abstract one like in <a href="http://allpoetry.com/Robert%20Frost" target="_blank">Frost</a>’s "<a href="http://allpoetry.com/The-Secret-Sits" target="_blank">The Secret Sits</a>" or <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/ted-hughes/biography/" target="_blank">Hughes</a>’ "<a href="http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/ted_hughes/poems/13808" target="_blank">Theology</a>". Think of love, jealousy, ambition, greed, hate, and the like; or think of heaven, angle, ghost, hell, and the like.

<b>The Death of Kalakarna<br />By Siswo Harsono</b><br />
<br />
In the early morning<br />
The king holds meeting<br />
With vizier he’s discussing<br />
The princess kidnapping<br />
<br />
In Mandaraka, Prabu Salya had ordered Patih Tuhayata to look for Surtikanti around the country. Tuhayata had been back and ready to give information to the king.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Have you found the princess?" asked Prabu Salya curiously.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"No, sir," answered Patih Tuhayata with guilty feeling, "But I’d met her lover in Petapralaya and told him about this case."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"She’s not there?" asked Pujawati amazingly.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"No, Madam!" said Tuhayata, "But he has promised to help us to find her."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Well, but how?" asked Prabu Salya cheerfully.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"He told me that he’s going to meet Janaka in Madukara, " told Patih Tuhayata,</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Maybe he is the man who kidnaps the Princess."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"No way! He’s her friend," said Pujawati.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"I think it’s possible," said Prabu Salya, "All right, Vizier—you may go and keep searching."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Yes, sir!"<br />
<br />
Suryaputra went to Madukara Palace. He was mad at Janaka and accused him of<br />
kidnapping her lover. They were about to fight.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Janaka! Where’s Surtikanti?" asked Suryaputra angrily, "Don’t you dare kidnap my darling!"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"I don’t hide your lover," said Janaka calmly, "But I know the man who has kidnapped her."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
Suryaputra was startled and asked, "Who? Where’s he? Tell me, Janaka!"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"He’s Kalakarna—the King of Awangga," said Janaka, smiling.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
While leaving, Suryaputra said, "Ok! I’m going there. I’ll kill him! See you later, Janaka!"<br />
<br />
In the front-yard of Awangga Palace, Suryaputra met Kalakarna. They had a big fight.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Hey, you—bastard!" shouted Suryaputra to Kalakarna, "Where’s my lover?"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Who? Yer lover? Huahahahah… not yers! She’s mine!" said Kalakarna, laughing at him.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Khk-cuah! Go to hell—son of a bitch!" said Suryaputra, spitting on the ground.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
Because of his anger, Kalakarna tried to hit and kicked him. Suryaputra jumped aside and got a spear.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Now, you dead!" said Suryaputra, aiming his spear quickly at Kalakarna. He stabbed his spear in Kalakarna's heart. </div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Oh, no!"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
Kalakarna fell in war.<br />
<br />
After killing Kalakarna, Suryaputra looked for his lover in Awangga Palace. He met her in the park.<br />
<br />
Approaching his lover, Suryaputra greeted her, "Hallo, my dear! Are you OK?"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Hi!" said Surtikanti, "How could you find me here? How did you know if Kalakarna had kidnapped me?"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
Gazing softly at her, Suryaputra said, "Janaka told me. At first, I accused him of kidnapping you. I know who he is—a playboy"</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Are you jealous?" asked Surtikanti, laughing.</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Yes!" answered Suryaputra, smiling. </div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Why? He’s your brother."</div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"My rival!" </div>
<div style="color: #99ffff;">
"Really?" "Yes! Let’s go," said Suryaputra proudly.</div>
<div style="color: #cc33cc;">
<span style="color: #99ffff;"> They went home happily.</span> </div>

A typical anecdote as model for short story contains all the techniques present in the completely crafted short story. It is an idea that has become a story developed through a plot line. There is narration, foreshadowing, dialog, motivation, characterization, description, suspense, crisis, and conclusive end. Bishop (1988:5-6) gives his good example and analysis on it. </div>
<blockquote>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Example (anecdote)</span> A drunk is driving up a mountain road during a rainstorm.<br />
He smashes through the rail and is flung from the car. He grasps a loose branch in the mountainside and hang in the air. “Dear God,” he prays, “Save me!” an angel appears.</div>
<div align="justify">
“God will help you.” The man is afraid. “I’ll do anything, just have Him save me.”</div>
<div align="justify">
“God wants to know if you trust Him.”</div>
<div align="justify">
“Yes, I trust Him. I’ll do anything to prove it. I’ll never drink again.”</div>
<div align="justify">
The branch loosens. The man looks down. He is 3,000 feet above a roaring river. Only the light from the angel is present. “Do you really trust God?” the angel asks again.</div>
<div align="justify">
“I trust Him, I’ll do anything to prove it.” The angel nods. “All right, let go of the branch.”</div>
</blockquote>
<div align="justify">
Bishop analyzes the situation and characterization in the opening sentence: a drunk driving in a rainstorm. Action: crash through rail. Opening suspense: grasping branch. Motivation: to stay alive. Informational dialog: help is available. Sustained suspense: “…if you trust Him.” Foreshadowing: “I’ll do anything to prove is it.” Inner revelation and character change: “I’ll never drink again.” Description of danger: loosening branch; roaring river below. Continued suspense: “Do you really trust God?” Mystery: how will angel save him? Heightened suspense: “I’ll do anything…” Crisis and story point: “Let go of the branch.” (Added mystery: does he or doesn’t he let go?). It is not only anecdotes that can be adopted and adapted as the short model stories but also jokes, fables, and the like. Before writing stories, it is useful to read all of the short model stories in this collection as models and patterns for you to imitate while you are learning the basics of narrative writing. When you read one of the short model stories you will say to yourself, “I think it is easy to write that!” and then try to write a short model story. Of course, you will not be expected to duplicate these models, but to mine them for ideas and inspirations that will help you to express your own thoughts and feelings in prose. </div>
