Short Love Poems
Short love poems capture the different faces of Love in all her magnificence. @ChrisTwitery stated it beautifully on Twitter:
'The beauty of love / sharing its radiant forms / in triplicate please'
Short sweet love poems are perfect to share with a loved one - in a letter, preferably written by hand, and mailed. But first, consider for a moment how to write a poem:
How to Write a Poem
Wondering how to write a poem? It's really not that difficult. The best short love poems come straight from the heart. Don't feel that your poetry has to rhyme. It's sometimes easiest to express your feelings in free-verse.
First decide on a theme. Think about how you feel when you're together or apart. Keep it simple, but make it personal. Focus on what is unique about your love and use sensual words to describe it.
Your poem doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be sincere.
Here is one of my own short love poems on how to write a poem:
Labour of Love
It doesn't have to be
a gourmet meal, it could be
left-overs, or a few
fragrant herbs: just
notice, then toss
a few words together and don't try
to be a connoisseur, this isn't about
perfection, just a simple recipe
for satisfaction, and like all great feasts
a labour of love.
