Love help: Anyone wanna help me understand how to write good poems to express myself in my love for someone? - Help.com

one of the most common killers are that peopl try to format a poem while theya re writing it, and that ruins he emotion and the flow of the poem. one tip is to write what you feel and forget that it is a poem. then you cna go back and put these in order, make them shorter or play around with them til u think its a poem. it definitely doesnt have to rhyme, and as far as which one is better, its the emotion that you carry through it that matters, not whether its a sonnet or a haiku, but try to go for something a bit lengthy

i did that already and it started sounding like a suicide note and made me sound desperate from its length and my constant repetition of things xD

idk how it sounds suicudal, but thats all i can think of

okay thanks though ^_^ it sounded like that because i have been in the past a little and i brought up things she probably forgot totally in it >.> i have a better way of puting things while i talk to people i guess rather than when i write =/

lizzy is right, contrived poetry is easier to spot then white on rice :P Seriously, if you can’t let it flow, then you cannot write your thoughts truly in this format. If form does not follow function, then there is no art, only imitation.

If poetry is too hard, why not write a letter? A story? A paragraph? A short piece of…whatever! Do what feels right. We can’t tell you how to write a love poem anymore then we can tell you how to love. Those are my thoughts on the matter sum, I’m sure they are not too helpful but they are all I have. Abstraction can be practiced and learned but not taught, at least as far as this is concerned I think.

Im actually good at poetry ive been told but ive never written on subjects like this. I also often speak about her in poetic ways when i chat with people. I should just take what ive said and write it down. The point of this is to instantly let someone know how i care about her so umm she can get the drift of things and help me out some. lol i come up with strange methods a lot >.>

Try reading others poems b4 writing your own. You gotta b in the mood first.

Poetry is like art in that it requires a certain mood or strong feeling. It is easier when u r passionate about the point in the poem u r trying to make.
Good luck!
