How to Write Your Own Baby Shower Verses
A poem or verse is a literary composition used to express
emotions or ideas using literary techniques like rhyme and
metaphor. Although there are no set rules for creating poetry,
these tips will help you create your own baby shower verses:
1) Often, a one-line verse may be all you need. Short verses are
good for personalized gifts where there is limited space, like
engraved candles or personalized gift tags. An easy way to
create an effective verse is to have a word in the middle rhyme
with a word at the end of the verse.
2) If the baby already has a name, then their name can
potentially be used in the verse. The new parents' names can
also be used if desired. Try to write down as many words that
rhyme with the selected name, then construct a verse.
3) Four line verses are quite popular for baby shower poems. The
easiest form of such poetry is to have the second and fourth
line rhyme. To brainstorm, try to write down as many baby
related words that you can think of, and then try to write down
rhyming words. Two or three verses will make a nice sized poem
for invitations and birth announcements.
4) Poems don't have to rhyme at all. You can also use imagery
and metaphors to create beautiful verbal pictures. Try to think
of all the emotions and images that may come from having a baby.
5) Also, if you are using poetry for announcements or gifts, it
is also nice to include pictures or clip art graphics. If you
are artistic, then you can create these yourself. Otherwise,
search online for baby graphics or clip art.
A final tip is to read other people's poetry and verses to see
how they are structured. Greeting cards sometimes contain good
verses as well. A baby shower verse or poem is a great touch for
your baby shower invitations and gifts.
