Love Poetry

For a boy.

I love poetry in general, and this was the surname of a well-known poet, but I was wondering what you think of it as a first name.

Thanks!
Xanthe - that’s also where I first heard it since you posted that article in one of my questions, and it was kind of growing on me.

I have been trying to read the all three books, but there are full of vocabularies that I do not know, and I have no idea what the heck he is talking about.

I am doing this for my homework, which it asks “Give your overall perception and analysis of the art of love in pagan Roman culture as presented in Ovid’s poem.” And “Compare and contrast what Ovid says about the subject of love catching and making with the “rules” of the game yourself-as a representative of your culture—go by. For example, what of Ovid’s advice do you agree with, or disagree with? Are you bemused or disgusted by anything the poet says or recommends in relation to your own “ways of the hunt?”

I am told to write an essay on this.

I’m not much of a poet, but I’ve read some that I think expresses the love I have for my girl well. Is it ok to send them to her or would it look bad on my part by giving her poems not written by me?

Some of the poetry for greeting cards was written with a certain person in mind. The poet might be a star crossed lover who has to put their heartfelt feelings on paper and the magic that is derived from the words they write serves to ignite feelings and emotions in any person who picks up the card and reads the words inside the cover of the card.

Other poetry for greeting cards are meant for amusement purposes only. People buy this type of greeting card when they want to take a whimsical approach at poking fun at a friend. The poetry inside the card might not have any rhyming set in the words but the laughter that the words cause lets the sender know that the message was delivered and understood.

As poets create the poetry for greeting cards, they may have to pause a moment to get themselves in the right mood to write them. Some greeting cards are to express sympathies for the death of a loved one and it takes the right mindset to create words of sympathy. A poet knows that some families will reflect on the words in the poem to find comfort and to remember the loved one that has passed away.

The poetry for greeting cards that are given in celebration of a birthday is varied. Some people poke fun through their words because someone in their life has reached the over the hill mark of 40. This type of poetry will serve as a reminder that even if the person is getting older, they are only getting better.

Some people need to feel lighthearted about reaching milestones in the aging process and the words of the greeting card may be pinned to an office cubicle wall all year long because the words on the greeting card were so sweet. The poetry for greeting cards can be serious, solemn or outrageously funny, and each of the greeting cards that are received for special occasions serve as personal reminders that they are special.

There is no format for poetry for greeting cards. Some greeting card companies prefer to use writers that have a certain sense of style and elegance, but they will also employ individuals who have a modern outlook to life. The market for greeting cards is just as individual as the people that receive a greeting card and a greeting company knows that they must have a varied assortment of cards for a customer to choose from.

Many greeting card companies will make envelopes that show the poetry for greeting cards in a special window that is built into the envelope. This open presentation is perfect for greeting cards that are used as gift cards and are placed on gift boxes and packages in envelopes that also match the color scheme of the celebration that they are being purchased for. Envelopes with lace imprints on it would be the perfect choice for weddings and anniversaries.

Ok, I agree. Mostly, ideas come out of no-where and won’t stop bothering us, unless we entertain them, or at least, listen to one of them. But for me, in most cases, when I am writing poetry, the first thing I do is to figure out in which poetic form I can easily express myself, and rhyming fits me best. Oh, I love rhyme poetry! There’s only one problem thou, there are many different types of rhyming poetry and I enjoy them all and this leaves me in a state of dilemma, which one to choose? So, I created “Mixed Rhyme” out of love for the rhyming forms of poetry, by mixing-up some of the rhyme forms.

“Mixed Rhyme” poetry is really easy to write, you must only have the patience—

counting syllables. The willingness to do the “counting” is the best help to learn writing poetry in a mixed rhyme. Indeed, my own success in writing my poetry in this form has come from possessing the patience of a saint. Yes, it cost me nothing, I’m just a very patient person in all I do, same for my writing. Hey, why don’t you try it yourself!

By the way, I won’t wish you “good luck” writing in this form, ‘cos we, being a

writer, all know that there’s no luck needed in writing poetry, but only our own willingness to do/ to write is involved. Of course, I do wish you try and have fun writing your own “mixed rhyme”. And, if you seriously want to learn the secret

how to write a “Mixed Rhyme”, the best thing you have to do right now is to start writing one.

Here are some samples of a “Mixed Rhyme” I wrote:

The Poet, Who Asked the Birds How To Fly (Mixed Rhyme)

O, behold the man, by the old sea

He closes his brown eyes, feeling free

Dancing to the wind, taunting the bee

He, who loves nature, although, carefree

Nevertheless, wants you all to see

Him, who hates watching gray clouds hide the bright sky

Where falcons, soaring high, relentlessly

Against the gusting wind, they’ve freedom to fly

Reveling in fleeting days, across the

Virulent sea, where he spends time

Lulling, unmindful of them

The naked ladies of Shem

On shoreline rocks, weaving blue rhyme

For he does not like to see those eyes, tinted

With hues of withered red roses on the ground

‘Cos there is no more beauty, in them, when dead

Or, in the eyes, when full of sadness, the sound

Of a unkempt sea, where its breath

Streaking his soul, without regret

Filled with un-prophetic news

That he, too, wished to fly, to set

Wings to where he won’t have to fret

‘Bout not wanting to peruse…

The whippersnapper, who n’er wanted to cry

He, the poet, who asked the birds how to fly

He, the man, by the old sea, hurt by heart’s lie

That, in forms, caused him to unveil

Whence readers can feel, the detail

Whether, penned in a single verse

Or, in a freestyle, like free-verse

Whether, it’s written in sonnet

Or, perhaps, in a rhymed couplet

Between lines, untangle his thought

And you’ll see me, the life, I fought

***

Secret Of A Mango Tree (Mixed Rhyme)

I use time not on shorelines, watching

The great yellow orb…..never rushing

To fade and rest…..before the laughing

Eyes of lovers, as noon wind touching

Them, beneath the coco palms, kissing

But I, like bird on a mango tree nestle

Clinging, childishly, on its sturdy branch

Before my eyes, I see how crickets whistle

With rhythmic tune, as tares foolishly dance

With the gadfly, that flatters free

As I spend the stolen time

Enjoying the nature’s rhyme

Till the tree bears fruits…..just for me

Its fruits, sweet and golden, the tree itself is

No match against the brutal force of nature

Once…twice, standing helpless, while bearded mantis

Forcefully stabbing-in its sting, that rapture

The innocent soul, that still bleeds

In silence, the mango tree heeds

The wailing beats of its heart

Hapless, lying on the dead ground

While hungry beast started to pound

Feasted….till whole’s torn apart

Scared; it soars, aimless, over seas of thunder

With no hope, in mind, of gazing the wonder

Of the world, for spirits lies under yonder

Mango tree, a glorious image

Of little robin, now, in rage

No clue, if ever peace will live

In the heart of those, once, deceived

What goodness will it give watching…

The sun fades sure darkness it’ll bring?

Certainly, no one knows, but me

The secret of a mango tree
