The typical early day poem went something like this:

Roses are red. Violets are blue. With lips so red, one can’t feel blue

Of course, even for the type of poem, this is not the most impressive display of poetic force. This is why this little practice of writing ideas and thoughts in poetry came to life on this blog. If one is to give their significant other a lovely hand written piece of poetry, it had better be nice.

Well, dear reader, this is where practice makes perfect. This is the place where various types of romantic poetry gets tried and tested. It is one of the many perspectives of love.

The collection of poems will be linked below as the collection grows. It’s the hope that enough poems get written to have a printable collection spanning the years of the blog. But let’s not get carried away with unrealized aspirations.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

Below will be the first step that leads to… wherever it was intended to lead.
