How to Write Love Poems
By Chris Cornell
To make it known to the world, there is really no such thing as a bad love poem. All of them are great, and they sure are all romantic. What makes a poem a good poem is when it is written from the heart and words were able to express your thoughts to your loved ones. That’s all there is anyway. If you have written a love poem at least once, then I must count as one of the very few romantic people of the world.

Love poems are a great way to express your affections for your loved one. It is a sweet way of showing your feelings as you put your efforts into writing one. If you want to write one but is clueless in writing love poems, this article is perfect for you.
When it comes to writing any poem at all, there are three things that you will need to always keep in mind, which are rhythm, rhyme, and imagery. When you use rhymes, you will find the poem becoming rhythmic, which will in turn affect the flow of the poem. Imagery refers to a poem’s ability to create an image in the mind of a reader.
Next, decide on a title. You can go with a simple but appealing title, as long as it sounds romantic. This would be followed by the opening of the poem, which should express your love and admiration towards him or her. You can also include some interesting quotes as an opening. On the other hand, you could use it as the closing. Quotes can be easily found on the Internet, so if you cannot come up with one yourself, you can always see what the Internet has to offer.
The language used for the poem should be simple enough to understand. You want your reader to be able to understand the message you are trying to convey without being puzzled. Biblical or Shakespearean language is really unnecessary unless you and your reader have a fancy for it. Nevertheless, avoid big words and jargon as they may pull your reader’s attention away from the content instead. Remember to keep your language expressive throughout the poem.
In the poem, you can include things you have observed about them, especially those that you have not expressed of before. Let them know how you admire what they do. This might even give them a pleasant surprise that you have been observing them.
If you are still unsure of how you to come up with love poems, you can always refer to the romantic poems written by famous poets. This way, you can get inspirations to write your very own poem. Whatever it is, keep your poem honest and straight from the heart. Even if you are not creative in poetry, words of honesty always touch a person’s heart.
Yes, saying that a book of poems is from the heart might sound cliche, but there is a reason clicies become cliches it’s because they have been used over and over when found to be true. I was quite impressed by Love Poems for the One You Love, and extremely surprised that I was so impressed. This is, compared to some other Kindle ebooks, not a dirt-cheap book of poems tossed together. Thank goodness! Keep in mind, this REALLY works well for men to keep in a hidden drawer to pull out and melt his love interest at various strategic times! Her heart will soften with these. For example, the aptly titled, Cuddle Time, might sound like a sort of syrupy rhyme but it’s extremely touching, especially to a woman in love, and this one poem won a Valentine’s Day competition for good reason. It’s poetry with depth that the title belies a bit and causes its hearer or reader to be surprised in a very good way upon hearing the stanzas. Men, this book is not for the faint-hearted, it is for REAL MEN who love the woman they are with. The poetry within here actually will boost your confidence and at the same time improve your lady’s feeling of closeness and oneness with you. Stairway to Heaven is one such example that tells her exactly what she means to you in a way that a WOMAN relates to ( Now with you I’ve entered Heaven’s stairwell ).
