Write a Valentine’s Day Poem

So, you want to write a poem to someone special, but you’re no Shakespeare. Rhyme, meter, feet? There’s no way you can do this, right? Actually, writing a poem isn’t that hard, especially when you have such great material to inspire you – all your loved one’s characteristics.

While many poems are written in a specific poetic form, such as a Haiku or a Sonnet, you don’t have to follow a specific form for your poem. Free verse poetry is poetry that doesn’t have a set form. If you do want to follow a form for your poetry, I found a site that lists types of poetry, including examples of each type and rhyme patterns.

Acrostic poems are ideal for inexperienced poets. Write your Valentine’s name vertically on a piece of paper. Then, write a line about that person for each letter of his or her name. Here’s a very bad example.

To My Dearest Sue:
S is for your lovely Smile
U is for your Unstoppable optimism.
E is for your Energy.

Give it a try. Even if you end up with something like my less than stellar effort, your loved one will probably really appreciate the effort!

    Petals
    They are old
    they swept away
    but your watery love
    made them stay

    over the years
    they grew and grew
    and when you leave
    they begin to shrew

    always and forever
    I will love you
    like a wonderful dress
    or a good pair of shoes

    I know I’ll always feel this way
    always be in love with you.
    You still make me feel
    like I felt when we met.
    I look at you and still
    see the same person
    I fell in love with.
    I think of you and still
    feel like I could do anything.
    And when we’re together,
    I still want to feel you close to me,
    to hold your hand,
    to make you smile.
    I know i’ll always feel this way
    always be in love with you,
    and always want you
    for my only love.

    1.) my heart opened up for you,
    this feeling is so strange,
    so new,
    i trust you with my life,
    and love you with my soul,
    my heart no longer feels like a lump of coal.

    2.)take me under your wing tonight,
    let me get lost in your eyes,
    everything i feel is coming to me as a surprise,
    even the mightiest heart feels pain,.
    and even the lord knows shame,
    but to fall in love is not to be a burden,
    it is not to be a blame,
    take me under your wing tonight,
    let me get lost in your eyes,
    hold me tight,
    reassure me every thing’s gonna be alright,
    now my heart is pounding,
    your voice is soft and soothing sounding,
    it’s getting harder to breathe,
    and the butterflies are freed,
    my chest is heavy,
    my hands are shaky,
    my cheeks are now bright red,
    and i’ll never forget what you just said,
    this feels to good to be true,
    i recognize these are the symptoms of loving you,
    take me under your wing tonight,
    let me get lost in your eyes,
    you turned a tough heart delicate,
    and there’s nothing more to despise.
