In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some poetry uses rhyming words at the end of each line or every other line to create a flow. If you'd like to use rhyming in your poetry, try to insert them as you write, instead of thinking of them before you start writing. For example, a poem could use words that rhyme with the last syllable of "seen," like "clean," "mean," and "glean." Try to think of these words yourself rather than looking them up in a dictionary or online so that your poem flows better. Stressed and unstressed syllables also create rhythm in a poem. In the sentence "He'd like some pumpkin pie," "like," "pump-," and "pie" are all emphasized based on how you say them. Use language that doesn't exactly describe what you want to convey, but instead uses metaphors and similes to portray emotions, settings, and people. Similes use the words "like" and "as" to compare something, while metaphors don't. There is no limit as to how long a poem is. Some are a mere sentence long, while others are paragraphs long or even the length of a tale. It all depends on when you are satisfied with your work. Your first poem can be short. You can work your way up to longer poetry over time. When you first write something, it might not be the quality or the length that you would like. Come back to your poem after a few hours or days and take a second glance. Check for spelling mistakes, areas where writing could be tightened up, or places that need more information. Remember that you are the poet, expressing your feelings through your poems so intuition, above anything else, is key. Once you have revised your poem and you are satisfied with it, make a final draft by copying your finished poem to a clean sheet of paper. You can write it out, type it on the computer, or keep it in your notebook. If you will be submitting your poem anywhere, it is very important to make sure your final copy looks exactly how you want it to.
Summary: Use rhyming words if you'd like your poem to have a rhythm. Write your poem using metaphors and similes. Don't feel like your poem has to be a certain length. Revise your first draft of your poem. Create a final draft of your poem.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Plan to plant your crocus bulbs when the ground is consistently below 60F (16C) in the fall. In North America, this is typically in September or October in the North, or in October or November in the South. Resources such as the Old Farmer's Almanac and the National Weather Service can help you pinpoint when the first hard frost is likely to come to your area. If desired, you can buy a soil thermometer online or at your local garden store. Purchase high-quality crocus bulbs from a reputable mail-order seed catalog, nursery, or local garden center. Bulbs purchased from non-garden specialty sources are more likely to be second-rate or not flower at all. Choose your favorite color of crocus to make your garden unique. While crocuses are often purple, there are actually many different varieties and shades. Consult a store associate to determine which variety of crocuses will best suit the aesthetics of your garden. Pick a location for your crocuses that gets full or partial sun. The ground in constant shade will be too cool for the bulbs to thrive. The dense shade on the north side of buildings is often a poor place to plant crocuses. Try the sunny east or west sides instead. Avoid planting locations where there is poor drainage or the ground is often soggy. This can cause your bulbs to rot instead of thriving. Test your soil to determine if the area you want to plant your crocuses drains well. Dig a hole 12 inches (30cm) to 18 inches (46cm) deep in the area you're considering planting your crocuses. Fill it with water. If the water drains from the hole in 10 minutes or less, you have good drainage. If the soil takes an hour or more to drain, the drainage is poor. It's difficult to change the natural drainage of the soil, as factors such as slope of the land and sun play a large role. Planting crocuses in pots outdoors can help you create a better drainage environment, if needed.
Summary:
Schedule planting in the fall 6-8 weeks before a hard frost is expected. Buy crocus bulbs from a garden center or nursery. Choose a planting location with at least 3-6 hours of direct sun. Select a planting location where the soil drains well.
