What does a "good love poem" mean to you? It can mean many, many things (hence this month's theme of the non traditional poem), but this article asks several poets what it means to them and might get you thinking. And just maybe you'll find some helpful tips if you're feeling compelled to write a poem of your own...
How to Write Love Poems by Jeremy Richards : The Poetry Foundation [article]
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." - Dead Poets Society
Why poetry?
Poetry (I'm learning now I've graduated) isn't something you run across often outside of the classroom. But poetry is meant for more than just Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 3:00-4:00 so here is a place to always find poems and suggestions of more places to seek them out. You can agree or disagree with my choices, but my hope is that you'll be inspired to let poetry (the poems I find or ones you find on your own) be a part of your every day.
