If you want to make your loved one sure of your feelings, there is no better way than to present them with a romantic love poem. The words of the poet will speak for you so that you don`t have to come up with the perfect words yourself. You can find a poem that is specifically written to a woman, to a man, or to the generic, “my love.”

There are a number of romantic love poems to choose from. So you should decide if you need something short or long. For example, if you are going to write the romantic love poem on a card, you may not want something that is more than a few stanzas long. You also need to decide if you want a poem that rhymes. Not all classic poetry rhymes, but some people prefer a rhyming poem over a free verse poem.

If you search online you should be able to find some or all of the following poems that are considered very romantic and classic works of art:

A Red, Red Rose
By Robert Burns

Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms
By Thomas Moore

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
By Christopher Marlowe

How Do I Love Thee?
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

She Walks in Beauty Like the Night
By Lord Byron

Shall I Compare Thee, Sonnet XVIII
By William Shakespeare

Heart We Will Forget Him
By Emily Dickinson

If you search for other works by these authors with the words “love” or “romantic” you will find other fine examples of love poetry by these poets. Also search under works by Shelley and Yeats.

Who Wrote the Best Love Poem?

Love poems have long been a way for men and women to express their feelings for one another in a unique and romantic way. They range from structured, formal works such as those by William Shakespeare to free verse works by modern greats such as e.e. cummings. But of all the love poems ever written, who wrote the best love poem ever?

Of course this question may have a different answer depending on who you ask. But for the sake of argument, let`s say that the poet who created the poem that is most often quoted and most recognizable is the one who wrote the best love poem of all time. If these are the criteria, then the poem How Do I Love Thee? by the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning would win hands down.

Browning wrote this poem to her husband. She and Robert Browning, also a poet, wrote countless love letters to one another over the period of several years. Today, these love letters and the poems that accompany them are treasured parts of American literature. Here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning`s finest and most recognizable work:

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday`s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood`s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

When people think of love poems, they usually think of this one, especially of the first line. It has inspired many other poems in its time and is a great source of imitation. As the best love poem ever written, it has all the elements of a great work: elegant structure, classic rhyme scheme, and beautiful imagery.

The Most Famous Love Poem

Love poems have been written for centuries to inspire lovers and create romance. When you give your special someone a love poem, you can express your feelings through eloquent words in a memorable way. Many famous love poems are written by classical poets, such as Lord Byron, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Shakespeare. But a famous love poem by a modern poet may appeal to a younger person who likes a less formal tone.

The poet e.e. cummings wrote what is probably the most famous love poem currently. It has been featured in other books and movies, used as inspiration for other writers.

i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it`s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that`s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

The poet e.e. cummings is quite a unique writer in that he used new methods of creating mood and setting the words to paper. He explored the use of white space on the page and made the words` appearance just as important as their sound when the poem was read aloud.

This poem is a perfect example of his use of parentheses and unusual stanza variation. He found a wonderful way of expressing very abstract ideas with some concrete grammatical forms. Use this poem to express to your loved one just how much they mean to you.

“Daddy” by Sylvia Plath is by right considered a magnificent poem about daughter’s relationship with a father. Also it can also be read as an allegory of female yielding and final revolt in a men’s world who have been responsible for all the disasters and wars of the twentieth century. In accordance with this poem women are oppressed and subdued in society by masculine priorities.

The male characters in this poem such as father, teacher, statue, gestapo officer, husband and vampire are created as leading and oppressive. The father appears as a strong, powerful and restrictive – god-like figure. The female character is constrained (‘black shoe/In which I have lived like a foot’) and unable to lead a full life (‘Barely daring to breathe or Achoo’) in his prevailling presence. This oppression is realised by the female character who decides that she must revolt against this male power that reject her control over her life (‘Daddy , I have had to kill you.’) The father is compared with the Nazi who takes the responsibility for the mass slaughter of Jews (‘I thought every German was you’) and the female character is depicted as the oppressed victim (‘I think I may well be a Jew’). Putting her father on the stage next to the Nazis, at the same time she puts women in the same position as the Jews, being exploited and violated. In this comparative portrayal men have the force to destroy women, to be the reason of their metaphorical deaths all within legitimate limits.

Plath uses the irony while depicting the stereotype of women who like abusive, strong men – ‘Every woman adores a Fascist,/The boot in the face, the brute/ Brute heart of a brute like you.’ – to show the inequality in the relationships between men and women. This irony justifies the male violence as being natural.

The refusal from power via silencing women, particularly seen through the try to articulate the ich (‘I’: It stuck in a barb wire snare./Ich, ich, ich, ich.’) and it shows the subordinate role of women in the men’s world.

The poem describes that the real power of the men is to make women give in to the dominant ideology, making their additional part of the natural order of the world. It is usually visible in sado-masochistic images (‘The boot in the face’, ‘And a love of the rack and the screw’) which make women to be responsible for their own additional role.

Women are made so that must be instructed by the wise males (‘You stand at the blackboard, Daddy’). Men are rational, while women are emotional (‘Bit my pretty are heart in two’), who commit suicide when they feel lonely and depressed. However, the female character is watching these unjust relationships, and sees her father-teacher figure as the devil (‘A cleft in your chin instead your foot/But no less a devil for that’). Then the father and husband are are called vampires (‘The vampire who said he was you/And drank my blood for a year’) who must be at last killed with a stake in the heart to return the female character her freedom.

The poem is full of the sense of suffocation felt by the female character towards her father and husband. The poem “Daddy” criticises the male aggression and depicts men being responsible for all the social injustices. The narrator depicts the discrimination of women but at the end of the poem she points out that females break free of these constraints.

Despite years of practical experience and many expensive courses, I`ve realized the best marketing tip I ever got was in my High School English class.

This tip provided the basis of a simple and scientifically-proven system for quickly and easily creating persuasive marketing material and convincing business presentations.

It was framed in the following words penned over 100 years ago by poet and writer Rudyard Kipling (perhaps better known for creating `The Jungle Book`).

“I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.”

Years later, I`ve discovered that Kipling is more than just a master of pretty words.

More recently, academic research into effective communication has come up with almost exactly the same formula for success.

And it shows very clearly why most business communication and marketing fails to have the desired impact.

After studying the learning style of different people for more than 25 years, educationalist Bernice McCarthy developed the 4MAT teaching system to reflect the four different types of learning style that she identified. The system works just as well for communication and marketing.

In brief, it splits people into four types: `Why` people: need reasons and relevance before they will listen; `What` people: information junkies (want to know all the facts); `How` people: pragmatic and practical (they seek usability); `What If` people (visionary, interested in the future possibilities).

Most of us have elements of all four types but usually one of the four `buttons` is particularly `hot`.

For example, you can provide a `why` person with all of the facts you like but they will not even listen unless you satisfy their `why` first.

If you are giving a presentation or writing a marketing leaflet, the only safe assumption is that your audience will contain people of all four types.

And that`s where most marketing messages fail – they don`t pay enough attention to all four buttons. Most often communication misses out the crucial first button – giving people a good reason `why` they should pay attention.

If you don`t hit that one, many in your audience won`t even listen to what you have to say.

Typically people rush straight in to the facts, the features – the `what` part. While this is important, it is not enough on its own.

And, often, messages are stuffed full of information but don`t make clear how it can be put to practical use.

The `4mula` for Successful Persuasion So, whether you are writing a 200 word letter or a 60 minute presentation, try taking a piece of paper, splitting it into four quadrants and answering these four questions.

Why should my audience be interested in this message? Brainstorm reasons why people will benefit from buying your product or service; Choose the best reasons and tell people about them first.

What information do they need to make a decision? Give them the facts that they need; Explain the features of your product or service.

How will they use it? Tell them what they need to do next; Give them an action plan they can implement

What will happen in the future? Point out the risks they face if they don`t take your advice; Paint a great picture of how things will be if they do as you suggest

Then use that information to write your letter or brochure or deliver your presentation.

And, while you use this scientifically-proven system for persuasion, don`t forget Mr Kipling`s other honest serving men; you need to think about `who` your audience is and tailor the message to them; and you need to consider `when` and `where` to deliver it to get maximum impact.

If you choose not to hit these four hot buttons, your message will miss a large chunk of your potential audience and you will lose out on many possible customers.

Or you can choose to use it as the basis for crafting your marketing messages and see how much easier it becomes to create powerful marketing material and to deliver persuasive presentations.

Then, as your marketing message hits the mark with a much bigger audience, just watch as your business begins to grow.

I made a bad mistake a couple of weeks ago and got into a discussion about poetry with my good friend, Henry County Herald columnist Amy Eason. Amy likes poems, and was telling me all kinds of stuff about them in an effort to convince me that I should like them as well. She was fighting an uphill battle because I typically don’t like poetry at all, in fact, the only thing I can imagine that’s worse than poems would be having Perry Como sing a few of them to me. Nonetheless, she made me promise that I would try to write one, and, that if I did, I’d come to understand just how rewarding composing them can be. Based on her powers of persuasion, and the added incentive of a twenty dollar side bet, I’m going to unveil my first, and I guarantee you, my absolutely last poetic offering. This tender epistle goes as follows:
Le Poem De La Sweat
I sit here at my keyboard fair,
Sweat beads streaking through my hair,
I just got home from working out at the gym,
In a very vain effort to get fit and trim.
I wonder why it has to be this way,
Joints a-hurting’ and old legs that sway,
I’m breathing so hard, it’s like a monsoon,
I’m sure I could inflate a hot air balloon.
As I worked out, I looked all around,
Amazed at the different type people I found,
I cussed the skinny people who don’t break a sweat,
The more they eat, the thinner they get.
It doesn’t seem right, yet what can I do,
They’re still real skinny, but my stomach’s all goo.
And there’s a big guy, who’s puffing like me,
His sweatpants are too small, his gut I can see,
When he bends over to pick up some weights,
I think of full moons, the association I hate.
To my right is a lady, she works hard and tries,
No weight in her chest, but lots in her thighs,
She’s standing there eyeing the sit-up bench,
If she lays down on it, we may need a wench.
Right straight ahead is a real foxy mama,
Her tan lines remind me of the Bahamas,
Her work-out outfits couldn’t be more tiny,
If she makes a quick move, and I might glimpse her hinny.
As for me, I’m on a Stairmaster,
A pretty good recipe for an impending disaster,
My legs are feeling like concrete poles,
If my brain were x-rayed, it’d be full of holes.
One minute goes by, then two, then three,
The water gods are all calling out to me,
My chest feels tight, my eyes feel glazed,
If I don’t throw up, I’ll be mega amazed.
Finally, I finish, and I can go home,
And sit my butt down, to finish this poem,
Amy, my dear, I enjoyed this plenty,
Now break out your purse and slip me that twenty.
Well, hmmmm. You know, I’ve got to be honest here, Amy may be right. Poetry does bring out a tender, compassionate side within me that I never knew I had. To be totally truthful, I really struggled hard from an emotional standpoint while writing this poem, in fact, tears almost came to my eyes several times, but, I fought them off in order to do my literary duty. I guess I’ve sort of become a true Renaissance man, scripting out tender verses like these. It makes me feel pretty good inside, to tell you the truth. I would go further, and maybe get into some pretty heavy dialogue about philosophy or religion, but I can’t right now. I happen to be writing this on a Monday night, and RAW is WAR is about to come on. And, as we all know, even a true Renaissance man like me can’t miss out on seeing Triple H in action…

When it comes to writing a funny love poem you may find yourself faced with a task a lot harder that first thought.

This article contains tips and ideas that will help you write a funny love poem.

Before you begin your funny love poem I would recommend reading and listing to other poems in the same genre. This will give you some ideas about the styles they were written. You will also be able to decide if your funny love poem is going to be long or short, rhyming or not rhyming.

Find inspiration, by simply reading a verse or line from another funny love poem you may just find the inspiration to write your own. Once you have the foundation you then need to bulk it out.

If your funny love poem is intended for someone in particular you may already have ideas about what you want to include. If this is the case then spend some time making notes about the specific thing you want to incorporate.

As hard as it sounds try to write down your emotions and feeling as this is what makes a poem special and meaningful. Don`t be afraid to say things you would not normally say.

Think about the event or person the funny love poem is for, writing notes or a list as you remember the emotions and feeling you had at that time and have now. Once the list is written you can then go through and add or remove what ever you see fit.

You will need to think about the style of your funny love poem. There are many styles of poems including haiku, sonnets, limericks or free verse. It is important to decide the style before actually putting your poem together.

Use vivid descriptions and words of emotion such as love, happiness and joy. Try to include descriptive images, so instead of putting `the garden` put `the lush green garden` these descriptions will paint a better picture in the readers mind.

Always save the best part of your funny love poem for the end. The end should be like a punch line to a joke, something that gives the reader something to think about after the poem has been read.

When you feel your funny love poem is complete read it and read it again, don`t be afraid to edit and make changes or better still ask others for their opinions and advice in how they feel the poem reads.

The most important thing is to be sincere, especially if you are going to be giving the poem as a gift to someone you love.

A Happiness Poem
By David Leonhardt

If a happiness poem could bring forth a smile,
Then my face would always dress in style.

If my ears could hear my computer screen,
From one to another, they, too, would grin.

My keyboard types for my eyes not my tongue
This happiness poem will never be sung.

But what of my eyes? Don`t they shine?
Yes, but not from this poem of mine.

The pen is mightier than the sword,
But a pen can write only words.

The feelings I sense and the senses I feel
For keyboard and screen remain far too real.

My ears and my nose remain at rest.
My cheeks and hairline are doing their best.

But if this happiness poem could make my mouth smile,
My face would forever dress up in style.

In this complex world of technological gadgetry, we run at a pace which would make our ancestors blush at the thought. Faxes are not even fast enough as we have email which is instantaneous. And no matter that you are not at your computer because many cell phones deliver email in a snap. The latest news from abroad—good or bad—the latest stock quotes to brighten or stress your day—it’s all there in a digitally quick transmission of electrons. Is it any wonder that we have little or no time for self-reflection, for a quiet moment far from the maddening crowd?

The halcyon days of yore often seem like a distant memory. I remember the highlight of my day when I could sit in my room for several hours and savor the classics—from Tolstoy to Shakespeare from Hardy to Keats—the books containing these great works lined my shelves like eager moss lining its host tree. Whenever I would read such great literature, and particularly after memorizing some passage from one of the books or some verse from one of the classic poems, I would feel a soothing sense of good that today seems like a distant memory. The warmth I felt from reading the Shakespearean sonnets or those of Barrett Browning, and the delight I got from reading Keats’ “Elegy Written in a Country Courtyard” inspired me to new heights and eased any heartache I felt from being trapped in the mundane existence I felt compelled to live.

Probably for the reasons stated, I was inspired to write poetry. Poetry has a way of enduring long after the death of the poet, but more importantly poetry has a way of easing the heartache that is often imposed on us from daily living. Because poetry expresses things in a flowery and symbolic way, this mode of communication gives the reader the chance to spend a moment in quiet self-reflection and this very act becomes the anodyne to heartache. Moreover, if we infuse faith into the poetry and shift their focus to a higher realm and a higher being—indeed God our Creator—then we have the recipe to relieve all sorrow and pain.

So do yourself a favor and ease some heartache today. Read a poem or two and start doing some quiet self-reflection.

Krishna in the epic poem Bhagavad-Gita appears in the triple image of God. He is the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer at the same time. Krishna tells Arjuna that any moment the dharma of the world becomes perverted or in a state of dharma, Krishna adopts a human form to restore the order or dharma in the world. Having such great power Krishna draws a picture of Arjuna’s future, with all the warriors being shattered in the huge jaws of Krishna. He draws a deterministic picture of the world in which the warriors are condemned to die by the hand of Krishna and not by the hand of other warriors. This fact releases Arjuna from all moral responsibilities, leaving him free to struggle without regret.

Appears a question: if the God’s task was to restore the dharma in the world, then why hasn’t he made himself visible to both sides taking part in the civil war? If his only desire was to set the world back to dharma, he could do this by making himself visible and available to both armies, turning back the unfair claim to the throne and giving the throne to the proper king. The problem could be solved with the help of more powerful and awesome methods than just playing a role of charioteer to the most powerful archer in the fairly motivated army. The only influence, other than having predestined its outcome, which Krishna will have on the battle field, will be to help Arjuna in his bloody task of slaying his fellow citizens. If Krishna is really God in human’s body he would have either simply destroyed the enemy of Arjuna’s army or at least made them incapable of struggling to let the fairly motivated army triumph. This inability to influence the physical world means that either Krishna is not God or that God Krishna has not enough power to do this.
