Write a Love Poem for Your Beloved
You may, or may not, be a fan of Valentine’s Day itself, but either way, it is an opportunity to express your love to someone you love, and THAT is always a good thing to do. Writing a poem for the one you love can be hard – where to start? what to say? what’s daggy and embarrassing? what’s truly meaningful and impactful? Let me help you answer these questions and guide you towards writing 2 or 3 of your very own poems that will capture what your beloved means to you and the beauty you see in them.
