Love Poem on Your Mind?

Love poem - looking to write one or maybe locate one? Whether youre looking to find a love poem or write one read a few tips below writing a love poem is not as hard as you might think and the rewards arent easily measured.

A love poem is one of the most awesome ways to express love to that special person. Receiving a love poem is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Love poems need not be long, short, good, bad or ugly in order to work. Additionally, love poems are not very often used by men to express love. When I met my wife (she was age 29) she had never received a love poem - written specially for her during 13 years of dating.

First, a love poem does not need to be well written. Generally, women and men appreciate receiving a simple, thoughtful, from-the-heart, personalized love poem and could care less about its quality. In other words, just write it and give it to he/she it need not be very good shell/hell love it anyway.

Short and simple love poems work best for me. When I say short and simple, Im talking about 8 to 10 lines. In my experience, a love poem longer than that wont get written. Pick out a few personal things about that special person and write cute little lines about it. Make it rhyme if you want, but dont think too much about it you wont be able to write it.

Lastly, take a look at the love poem below originally written for my wife. Its cute, simple, from-the-heart and takes no talent to write. Also, I could care less whether its a proper poem from a poetry perspective. Dont worry about studying poetry or writing a poem correctly. Forget all that stuff you learned in school and just write. After all, the point is to express love to that special someone not win a poetry award. Give it a try you will not regret it.
