Valentine Poems: Writing From the Heart

Valentine Poems are the most meaningful when you write them yourself. While there are thousands of Valentine poems available online you could use and share with the one you love for Valentine’s Day, it is far more romantic coming from you, even if you’re terrible with words or writing poetry.

To help you unleash you inner poet, we’ve listed a few ways to make writing romantic poetry for Valentine’s Day much easier:

List of Things I Like About You Poem
This poem is pretty easy to write – think of 10 things you like about your partner and write them down. You can then decide if you want to make it rhyme or keep each thing on one line or break the lines up to give it a more “poetic feel”.

Magnetic Poetry Generator Poem
If you’re not good with words, head over to the official magnetic poetry website and create a poem by clicking and dragging romantic words from the column of poetry to the virtual refrigerator. Before long you’ll have a poem ready to use.

Timed Free Write Poem
Set a timer for 3 or 5 minutes and just write the entire time about how you feel about your partner. You don’t have to write a poem per se – anything that comes to your mind – just keep writing until the timer goes off. You then have some great material with a little editing can be the perfect romantic Valentine poem.

A Doodle Poem
Are you more of a visual person? Draw pictures (even if they are stick figures) of how you feel. Then give those pictures or doodles captions or words and transform them into a poem. You could even include the doodles with your poem when you give it to the person.

Things That Remind Me of You Poem
This one is exactly as it sounds: write a poem with anything that reminds you of your partner. Maybe you think of them anytime it rains or see a certain landmark or eat a certain food for example. This romantic poem idea will show your partner just how much you think about them all the time.

Set it to Music:
Sometimes the natural rhythm of music can help inspire you to write poems. Listen to a few instrumental songs (they can be any style you like – from piano to classical to hip hop) and you might find words coming naturally.

The Copy Change Poem:
A copy change poem is when you take someone else’s poem and simply copy and change the words to make it suitable for you. You can do this with just about any poem or song lyrics. Change just a few words or rewrite the original poem entirely.

Excerpts From a Journal:
Have you been keeping a journal? Do you write things down regularly either in a notebook or even on a blog? Take some time going through your journal or blog and find what things you have written about your partner. (Hopefully it is mostly good things!) You could compile little snippets into one poem, write them in chronological order, etc.

    I love poetry. I think its a great way to communicate love to people. Good idea.

    I agree 100 per cent. For those out there who have problems expressing their true feelings using words, I have started my own writing business. Basically, after a quick chat I write 200 words in your own style for your beloved for you to pass off as your own. You use a florist for flowers right? Well, use a writer for words. Easy.

    Yeah! I know sometimes its hard to say what we truly feel for somebody. Writing a poem or song is a great way to show and express your love.

    Hello and thanks for the inspiration. I have always wanted to write my girl a love poem… I know that I have it in me, but I just never knew where to begin. I think that I am going to try the “things that remind me of you” poem.

    Wow, with a great list like this, you have definitely make it easier for people who are not good with words to come out with a Valentines’ poem of their own. Of the whole list, I think I like ‘List of Things I Like About You Poem’ and ‘Things That Remind Me of You Poem’ best. I can imagine many using these two to create something that is really from their hearts.

    I made some funny poem for my GF the last Valentines and it really made her smile. I believe that if you make the girl smile then it is a great point for you. :)

    It is really too bad that people don’t write poems to each other much anymore. It’s definitely a romantic gesture and these days, such a rare occasion that it creates a huge amount of attraction.

    I like writing poems that are based on songs that we both know, but have the words changed so they are just for us.

    I can’t remember for the life of me ever written a poem myself. Not that I’m being a non romantic, I’m just not good enough in stuff like this. Wonderful tips, though.

  15. tracy@hair straighteners on February 27, 2009 at 12:01 pm

    Even if you are not a great poet the time you spent trying will shine through to the person you love. Thanks for the tips on how to get this done.

    Alternatively just rip off a little poem and pass it off as your own. (Not advised if your girlfriend is into literature).

  21. Chris@Viral Marketing on March 13, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    I write a poem every now and then for my special one it always makes her smile, But on occasion if im browsing the internet and i find one that reminds me of her or fits our situation i’ll go ahead and send to her always get a positive response :) Thanks for all the poem writing tips tho!
