An excellent gift for a loved one will be a poem of your own composition. Even if you do not know how to write poetry, such a sign of attention will be appreciated regardless of its artistic value.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not give your significant other a ready-made verse downloaded from the Internet. A text with general words, which is used by all and sundry, will never express your feelings for a particular person. Even a clumsy verse of your own composition will be better than text from a store postcard. If you're having trouble writing your own poem at all, the best thing you can do is learn a good poem from a real poet and read it on your date.
Step 2
A poem for a loved one should be individual, you should not just use a set of beautiful phrases about love, but try to tell exactly about your feelings, using the unique characteristics of a loved one. Describe his appearance in the poem, play with the name, remember the most romantic moments of your relationship.
Step 3
Do not compare your current love with past ones in the poem. Even if the comparison is in favor of the current relationship, few people want to hear about past relationships.
Step 4
Love has no rules, there are no rules for love poems, every good poem is unique, it is the departure from templates and platitudes that distinguishes it.
Step 5
There are many boring and bad rhymes. Don't use them, try to find an original rhyme. Never use rhymes like "your-mine", "never-forever", etc. If you can't think of anything, use a rhyme dictionary or write a blank verse, that is, a verse without rhyme.
Step 6
A good poem has the correct poetic meter. If you can feel the rhythm of the string, then you don't need to explain how to stick to the meter, otherwise learn poetical metering, count syllables, and track stress.
Step 7
A love poem should not be too sentimental, too sacrificial, a poem about death and blood, you can scare off your beloved.
