So what can you write love poems on anyway? Well, we will discuss the different types of love in later sections but there are also some activities you can use to help you write love poems, even if they are just for practice.
Use your loved one’s name. Write the person’s name vertically on a piece of paper. Use each letter to create a line of a poem.
Sample:
To love you
Is the greatest gift
More than gold or jewels
Or riches or fame,
Treasures or any worldly possessions
Holding you completes me
You are my darling everything
