There are many ways to break up with someone you once loved, and breaking up poetry is a method to gently let someone know you are moving on. A lot of breaking up poetry focuses on the writer’s feelings, with one of the main themes centering on a broken heart. Many people write break up poetry to help them cope with the pain they are experiencing.
These poems can express frustration or heartache, and may also detail the relationship journey and what transpired. Poetry is a wonderful form of expression, and regardless of the type of poetry you use, it can be an excellent outlet for your emotions. Much of break up poetry is written or focuses on teenage love, as feelings tend to be more dramatic and teenagers experience more angst.

Life is full of ups and downs, and transitional opportunities or doorways that we either pass through or forever wonder what life “would have been if.” To further illustrate these mixed emotions, deep thinkers often turn to poetry as a way to cope with the uncertainty. If this statement resonates with you, then perhaps you would like to read some exceptional poetry on these subjects.
If so, let me recommend one of the best poetry books on “life’s transitional periods.” Once you start reading it, you won’t be able to put it down, and luckily, you won’t have to, as it is less than 100 pages. The book is titled:
“1970 Poems; Transition,” by Leonard Harlig, self-published and printed at Anderson Graphics in Van Nuys, CA in 1970, (93 pages).
In 1970, the renowned contemporary poet Leonard Harlig published his collection of transitional poetry, “1970 Poems; Transition.” Each book is numbered, and only 300 were printed, making it a collector’s item. You might see this book appear on eBay occasionally, and if you do, I recommend purchasing it and reading it, savoring every word.
The poems touch on transitions such as moving from military and war into … ...Read the rest.
“Poetry and Life Transitions – A Book Review”

One of the reasons writing poetry like this can be so challenging is that it’s difficult to grasp and express your feelings. You may have a whirlwind of emotions, and it can be particularly hard to arrange them in any coherent manner. However, if you want a great poem to emerge from it, you need to find a way to organize your thoughts, even if only temporarily. This process can often help you feel better about your situation as well.
Begin by writing down your feelings in a list or chart form. You might want to create a chart that displays your various emotions and sensations, and then branch out from them to elaborate further on how they make you feel. Don’t just tell; show. Make notes about how your body feels physically. All of this can help you sort through your emotions and shape your poem.
You may want to construct a “poem tree” before writing your actual poem. This is a way to map out and visualize the structure of your poem, which you can then refine as you work on your actual drafts.
For instance, place the topic you want to write about at … ...Read the rest.
