Every now and again i write my girlfriend love poems.
She thinks its sweet and really loves them. So i was just wondering what do other girls think of boyfriends writing love poems?
| Id love it if my boyfriend did this | 52 | |
| I think its gay and stupid | 26 | |
| I dont care | 19 |
It depends on the poem, for example;
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Porn Hub is down you'll just have to do"
Would probably be a bad idea.
no it was. at night i lay thinking of you
Thoughts of what id ever do.
If I ever lost the girl
who makes my life shine like a pearl.
I look at you and always smile
for you id walk a thousand mile.
You are the girl made for me
I think it might be destiny.
I will be here
when you shed a tear.
So baby i hope you know
ill never go
Megon...I love you so
That's quite a bad poem, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as she likes it.
Some women may be a little more picky though.
Yes... Did you read what I said above? I basically just said that.
But here's some constructive criticism:
- Use fewer clichés: try and make it personal and unique, related to your relationship now. Aside from the name-drop, this poem could be for anyone. It sounds like a collection of cheesy phrases from cheesy pop songs. They're not PERSONAL enough.
- Take care with the rhythm of the poem: Every line doesn't need to be the same number of syllables, but you have to consider the pattern, how it sounds when pronounced. For example, in your poem, some lines are much longer than others, and that makes it sound odd when read. It has an awkward rhythm. The most effective poems have good rhythm.
- Don't use incorrect English just to force a rhyme: whilst 'mile' does rhyme with 'smile', saying "I'd walk a thousand mile" is grammatically incorrect, since you have to use the plural of 'mile'... 'miles'. Think about how you can restructure a sentence so you don't have to butcher the English language. For example, rather than "I'd walk a thousand mile", why not "I'd walk the thousandth mile"?
I don't know how old you are, so you may well naturally improve as you get older. This seems like a poem from a young teenager, maybe 13 or 14? But anyway, it might help to read some celebrated love poems (avoid referencing pop songs) and to be more adventurous with your language!
The night I lay thinking
Thoughts and what I'd do
For if I were to lose this girl
Her pearl shine come on
Come, shine through
As I look at her I always smile
For her I'd cross this thousandth mile
She is the girl so made for me
She fills that space, that destiny
So again I shall be here
With her, to catch her tears
It's my greatest hope she'll know
That I shan't ever let her go
Forever Megon, I love you.
If it's a good poem, I'd love it.
If it's a bad poem, it would be quite awkward.
Be careful. Writing poetry can exaggerate emotion to the point of obsession. I wrote a girlfriend a lot of poetry once, then she broke up with me and I realized she'd been cheating on me. It made it that much harder cos I had poured out everything in words and in the process become infatuated. I'm not saying you should be guarded, to be in love is a state of vulnerability in itself. Just don't take your own romantic notions too seriously, getting in too deep or over your head. That's all I'm saying.
Write beautiful poems and stick them in a box and put that in shady yet obvious place, and write something on it that will draw attention, when she comes over, move the box in a pretend effort to look for something, she will then ask; 'Whats in the box?'
That's when you act weird, and say 'oh nothing just some personal items' the mystery will drive her nuts until she begs you to show her, so you open the box and show her your false 'secret' she will read the poems, and instantly think it's 10x cuter that your hiding it.
OR she will think your gay OR she might not even give a damn about the box.
I'm useless at this stuff, just write your doggawn poems and see what happens.
Been a ghost writer for alternative and hardcore music for years. A lot of what I write is inspired by my current and lost loves. I don't hardly ever let people read them while they're raw, but when I do it usually makes them melt. Especially when I sing them. So in my experience, most women love things like that. It's romantic and sensual and opens a window to somewhere they probably never would have seen otherwise.
If my boyfriend actually wrote me a poem I would think he was possessed. No way would my boyfriend do something nice like that for me... I would %100 definitely love it though. It means he thought about me and put in effort to show me he cares
Awww that's so sweet!! :) she's so lucky to have you! I wish my bf did that for me! It seems to be rare these days to find romantic guys like that!
I love poetry and I would love it if I had a boyfriend who wrote poetry but not love poems I tend to like poems about depression, conflict with the self etc.
It's not something I desire, but of course I would appreciate it if my boyfriend did do that.
Enough to hold you to the brightest of lights, to place you dangerously close to that sun;
Enough to acknowledge the flaws you can't ignore and recognize the cause of what's done is done;
More than enough to put my name behind my ideals and neglect my logic twice daily
Enough to keep me looking for my Lucy in the sky with gems when I remember how you used to call me baby
Enough to look in my mirror with detest for every tear you shed regardless of why you wept
Enough to curse any man who can't appreciate the depth of the ocean I swam till I ran out of breath.
Shall I compare thee to Samantha 38G....not even close you scrawny bitch!
Oh, and it's normal OP. At least when it comes to girls I know, they find it sweet or romantic.
Shall I compare thee to a bananaface?
Thou cannot be more lovely nor temperate:
Rough winds do not shake the darling buds of May,
And plantains hath all too starchy a taste:
Perfect ripe the peel of heaven shines,
And never is her fair olive complexion dimm'd;
Not every fair from fair must decline,
Not by chance nor nature's changing course is't trimm'd;
For thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou harvested from his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
:P
*swoons*
Haha, aww, very cute! Bananas make everything sound a bit daft, don't they?:P "And plantains hath all too starchy a taste" was particularly amusing!:D I feel like I should write you one now, although I'm doing you a massive favour by not.:P
Fuck poems, I wrote one to my girlfriend I dated for 2 years. That heartless bitch laughed in my face, walked away and broke up with me via text infront of my whole class.
