A book about how to use poetry in everyday conversations. Is there such a thing?

>> No.4551606

I don't think that's possible. If you use poetry in an everyday conversation people call you a fag and then you have to leave.

Play with words and use imagery. If you're a poet it shouldn't be too difficult though it may take a little practice to be able to do it on-the-fly.

Oh, so you mean you want to pass off the intellect of others as your own rather than creating anything original? Go read a bunch of quotes so you can stutter them out half-remembered in front of girls and out yourself as the pretentious retard that you are, then.

I have used quotes before in social situations. It works as long as you get them to THINK about it, they usually end up liking it if they understand it fully

So memorise some poetry. What do you need a book for, retard?

>> No.4551879

Epigrams quoted from poetry can be used in conversation. "To err is human, to forgive divine.""A little learning is a dangerous thing." Alexander Pope and his contemporaries are great for this, especially since verse culture at that time was basically a sophistication of conversation.

Reading and writing poetry should also strengthen your overall verbal expressive power by improving your ability to make similes, metaphors, analogies, and to choose words of the right level of clarity for the topic.
