How To Write a Love Poem
A love poem
How do you write a love poem
First of all:
You need inspiration
The best inspiration
Is a person
to love
Or to hate even
Yes, even hate or jealousy
can be an awesome prompt
to write about
whatever
you once felt
Or perhaps puppy love
for that little boy with braces
two blocks down the road
from where you lived
Or even secret love for that
stud that never saw you
because you're that wussie
that nerd that stutters
So how DOES one write a love poem?
Never EVER use the word 'love'
it's a cliche
all critics in the world agree
on that one
also never use:
"kissing your moist lips"
'kissing' is a gerund
'your moist lips'
is a cliche worse than 'love'
Then how to write a love poem?
How would I know?
I've never written a decent one!
