ROMANTIC POETRY & LOVE LETTERS
Could there be a better way to woo that special someone, than reciting romantic poetry? Whether in preparation for Valentine's Day, a special date, your anniversary or an impromptu celebration of love, sharing poems of this nature is bound to leave a lasting impression. The following collections range from archives of classic poetry from masters such as Shelley, Lord Byron and Shakespeare, through to collections of original, independent poetry. You're bound to find something here that is appropriate for any romantic occasion.
- Poetry.com.au - This is a huge archive of poetry, which blends the classics with original works from upcoming writers. There are plenty of romantic gems amongst this collection, including William Shakespeare's immortal Sonnet 18; known to many from its famous opening lines, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate."
- TheHolidaySpot - Home to an expressive collection of short poems that celebrate romantic love, in all of its forms.
- Diary File is a truly fascinating website, featuring scanned images of real historical diaries and letters. Their "Letters" section, in particular, is filled with love-lorn messages - some tinted with tragedy or turmoil (such as real letters to and from Titanic passengers), and others more openly joyful. These might provide you with an ounce of inspiration when considering the depth that true love can reach, even in the face of adversity.
- Poem Generator provides something quite unique, an offering that site at the intersection between using a pre-written poem and writing your own. They give you a hand in composing the ultimate love letter, using an autmatic generator. Using their form, you are asked to input certain details, such as an adjective to describe your crush's eyes, which are automatically incorporated into a range of preformated, and often humorous, love letters - just enough to give them that personal feel. This is the ideal solution for those too lovesick to think straight. And hey, how will your partner know that this isn't just your profound poetic element emerging?
