how to write a love poem

Posted by D. James on 27 December 2007

For inspiration
use your life
or steal
someone else’s

use words
to evoke images

If all else fails
light yourself
on fire
and tell me
how that feels

“Trust me”
the man said
“it works”

(D. James)

Love this one! The first part is humorous, but then there are those beautiful images in the latter part. Wonderful all around.
