Writing a love poem for that extra someone in your life doesn't have to be daunting.
Even if you remember the definite grammatical terms for verse and rhyme is not foremost here? Whilst that's great to know when you're studying literature, it might hold you back when you're starting out on your very own love poem.
Love Poem
Only two things are foremost here:
1. To think from the heart
2. To write from the heart
So how to start?
1. First of all get yourself some paper and a pen and block off a bit of time when you won't be undisturbed. If you want to play some music fine, but let it be fascinating stuff, rather than loud and aggressive. I've often found that setting aside a singular block of time, (say ½ hour) helps.
2. Sit down quietly, close your eyes and remember all the good things about your loved one. Try to focus on three main areas for the moment (you can select others if you like). Think about a) How you felt when you first saw them. When and where did you meet them, what was said,and what were they wearing? b) How you felt when you knew you verily loved them. When was the moment? How did you know? How did you feel and how did you let them know? c) How you feel now that you're with them. How do you look send to the time to come together? What plans do you have? How does life collate now to earlier times without your partner? What dreams do you share?
4. Now start to write your belief down onto paper. This is called prose. Prose is more every day speech than poetry, and it just describes your thoughts and the facts (for a fuller report see http://www.wikipedia.com). You could think of prose as just an outpouring of your feelings onto paper. Don't hold back. Just go for it. It can all be edited later. For now, just spill it out and get it down.
5. When you feel that you've written sufficient (you settle how much that is), it's time to describe it. A describe is your own occasion to verily look back at what you've put down on paper.
Are there parts you don't like or areas you want to write more about? possibly there are sections, words or sentences that you verily don't want in there? Be honest with yourself. No-one's finding at it at this stage, and you're not trying to rival Shakespeare. It's more foremost that these are your honest feelings, even if you might ‘flounce them up', poetically, later on.
6. Most ‘love poem' advice now recommends that you replace coarse nouns with permissible nouns. It's not too complicated. It means Instead of saying ‘flower' - which is pretty general, be more specific and select a type of flower - say ‘Rose' for example. Make sure your selection of flower begins with a Capital Letter.
7. Next step is to replace ‘weak' verbs with strong ones. Don't fret too much about this. Instinct should tell you if it sounds right. For a verily detailed explanation of our two English types of nouns (no – I didn't know that either) take a look at the [http://www.bbb.co.uk] website.
8. And finally, the general advice is to bring all these three memories together with a metaphor. Remember them? When you use as… like. It's a comparison. Again Google comes up with a good explanation. This page also has come good poetry metaphors to get your started.
9. The last stage is to re-read your prose – whether out loud, or in your head, making note of all those conscious thoughts you have about it. You can make notes on the paper at this stage or just ‘feel' what it says to you. This process breaks up the prose into poetry.
10. Do you want to give your poem a title. You can whether pick something from what you've written or write something general such as ‘What you mean to me'.
11. Once you've done that, settle if it is to go into a blank card, be handwritten, or computer generated – there are loads of fine scripts out there that you can print off. With a bit of placement planning, you can fold and insert your print-off into your card).
Remember that it's love poem. The someone you've written it for will be more touched by the effort you've gone to than any worries you might have over your 'English'. For more inspiration take a look at some of the first-rate love poems out there.
