If you want to write a great poetry about love, you’ve come to the right place. Love poetry has always been around us, however in recent years we haven’t been noticing it that much. We think of poets as someone who is educated at a high level, but poets are ordinary people just like me and you.

Step One

Start out by staring at a blank piece of paper for some time. This is really helpful, and it tells us a lot. A blank piece of paper is a mirror of our own mind. A good way to write a romantic love poem is to use acrostic poetry. Write down a word that means something to you and your loved one, or write their name. Write it down the page and start each sentence with the letters of that word or the letters of the name. You need to compliment the person you’re writing the poem for and not criticize them. Just be yourself when writing and keep the poem short, so your reader doesn’t fall asleep halfway through.

Step Two

If you don’t feel like acrostic poetry is the type for you, if the name of the person doesn’t make for a great poem or you can’t think of a word of meaning, there are a lot of other forms of poetry you can write in. Haikus are short, but delightful poems. If they are too short for you have the sonnet, it’s a really wonderful form of poetry. You can look at the sonnet as a puzzle, read all the rules. Some snobby circles of elite poets might look down on rhyming, but you can rhyme if that’s what you want to do. A great way to cheat while writing sonnets is to take the rhyming end words of a Shakespeare poem. You can find them all on the internet. You can change the words as you go through, this will just give you a starting point. You can also look up rhyming dictionaries, which will help you out, a lot. Just be careful, taking a little bit from here and there is great, stealing a lot from a poem, especially now when we have the internet to check if something is original, you’ll come out as a liar and a fraud.

Step Three

You should introduce yourself to someone you like when writing. Just put yourself out there, even if you get shut down, you, at least, made something. If you’ve been together with a person for some time, quotes for him are great because they keep things fresh. Instead of doing something else, you show that you care about that person and spent some time trying to make something. That will make your loved one feel appreciated and special. Writing poetry isn’t about being praised for an eternity as a genius, it’s all about making people think about art for a moment and showing someone you care.
