Some tips for rewriting a poem from the perspective of a different speaker.
you shoyld paraphrase it
can you give an example? If this poem is about a woman lost her lover, and she becomes really angry about that. How should I paraphrase this kind of poem
Ok, give me the first two lines, I will paraphrase for you as an example.
Beloved sweetheart bastard. Not a day since then I haven't wished him dead, Prayed for it so hard I've dark green pebbles for eyes, ropes on the back of my hand I could strangle with
My hateful beloved one, Ever since then, there was not a day I haven't wished him dead. There is kind of a duality of a meaning behind her words. (Like because she lvoes him so much, that she is angry at him for being dead.) But I am not sure if you want to show duality or not. I am just paraphrasing it at face value. (Paraphrase means to put in your own words)
Thank you so much
no problem
Or actually, you could also write it with your own opinion included since you are writing from a different speaker. Like: She loves yet curses him, and not a day since had she haven't wished him dead. Make sure you change first person to another point of view.
That's really helpful, thank you
