I love her, and Valentine’s Day is the day to show it, but how can I? What can I do?
I’ve loved her since last summer, and I want to tell the world. I don’t know her feelings, but she might like me. I want to give her flowers for Valentine’s Day, but I have some problems.
a) My school sends flowers to girls at other schools, but not hers. Anything I get her she won’t recieve on the 14th. Is there a florist who delievers to schools?
b) What kind of flora do I give her? rose, carnations, or something else?
c) Poetry? Too tacky?
d) We had a fight a little while ago, and just made amends. Is this coming too strong too soon?
e) Will she think it’s romantic, desparate, creepy, or whatever else runs throguh girls minds?
I love her so, and want to show it. But with these problems in the way, it looks difficult. Please help!

Great Ways To Promote Your Poetry In Magazines
Poetry they say is an extension of your soul, a pouring of your spirit. All that is within you is expressed in words, be it love, pain, sorrow, care, etc. It is a great way to express oneself, if you have the talent to do so. There is a great difference between writers and poets. Poets are moody (a little more than writers) and they put feelings into words. When people read poetry, there are many who identify themselves with them. Many share the same thoughts and ideas. Poetry is soothing to your spirit and makes you become very introspective, which is good. Once in a while, we all need to think about other things in life, besides ourselves.
And one you have written these great poems, how about showing the world what a great poet you are? A simple way is to get your poems published in a magazine. Magazines are widely spread all over the market. People buy them because they are informative, cheap and easily accessible. They are fun and exciting too. The pictures and titbits are simply amazing. There are hundreds of magazines available in the market today, from Cookery to Health, Women fashion to sports. A wide and excellent range of magazines is available.
Poetry has a potential to make its way into magazines. If you are looking at literary magazines that are normally printed in universities, schools or colleges, then you could send your poetry to them and ask them to print it for you. It is even better if the subject of the magazine is in line with your poetry, but you can use it as an insert as well. This would work as well, because after reading something that is educational or serious, one gets to read this little script of a poem. And it could make you feel light, and see the world in different colors. Life has different sides to it, and we must have an open mind. A poet can help us understand the seriousness of life in a simple way.
You also have some commercial books that include magazines like Readers Digest, where you can send your poems. Sometimes you even get paid, if you agree to write for them regularly. These books have a mix of all kinds of articles. Poems are like a breath of fresh air.
Never ever agree to people or any publisher who asks you to pay for your poetry to be published, they are definitely bogus. Your poetry is of value. And you know that you have delivered well. So, don’t compromise. Be bold and push for your poetry to be published as a work of talent, where you should get paid.
If your poetry is, for example, on women or on love, then you could insert them in a woman’s magazine or a general type of magazine. Poetry speaks to a wide section of people, and it is not only for the elderly or literary experts. There is a lot of poetry that is easy for us to understand and feel. Imagine how much more meaningful a magazine would be and how much more enjoyable it would be to read, when poetries are published in it.

How to Write Bespoke Love Poems
Everyone can write an ordinary article, but not everyone can write a great poem. This is because writing a poem is very different from writing ordinary texts.
To write a poem well, one must have a good sense of rhythm and a good command of language to be able to find words that rhyme and sound right. This is already a challenging task for many writers.
On top of that, to write a moving poem, writers should ideally have enough life experience so that they know what to write for different moments. This is easier said than done. Often, poems have the tendency to sound too airy - they don’t sound real in our world when recited. The challenge here is to keep the poems grounded with hints of real life experiences sprinkled in the poems.
So the first mistake to avoid when writing bespoke poems is to write poems without pointing to any real life moments. Bespoke here means personalisation. In everyone’s love life, there are always intimate moments that we want to capture or share with others. These are the best moments to include in a poem. These very moments need not be dramatic moments. They can be simple and happy moments that the couple shared together.
To write a bespoke love poem means that the most loving or intimate moments are captured in the poem. That also means that whoever is writing the poem must spend time to really know the couple well. Ideally, this person should have superb writing skills (as you shall see why later), and possess an approachable personality. An approachable personality is necessary because it allows others to open up more easily.
In addition, love poems will only sound great when they are able to express feelings in a particular moment. Here is where writing skills matter. Without skillful writing, writers will struggle to find the right words to express these feelings properly. This is not as simple as finding words such as “happy” or “sad”. Instead, skillful writers will be able to set the right mood throughout the poem. Sometimes, even without having to use explicit words, the audience will still be able to connect with the poem and be moved by the flowing words.
You know that you have a great bespoke poem on your hands when the poem can move people to tears or inspire others.
For example, Kate, a published author who writes bespoke love poems and stories for couples often enjoys receiving positive testimonials from her happy customers. Obviously, the happiest customers claimed to be moved by the love poems that Kate had written specially for them. Such is the power of personalisation.
Finally, remember that in order to write a bespoke love poem well, write from your heart, and write with sincerity. If you lack the right skills to express whatever messages that you want to transpire, hire professionals like Kate to help. You will be glad you did. Because love poems can strengthen the bond between you and your partner. And they are always there to always remind you and your spouse to love each other unconditionally.
