Letter from the editor




Just a Moment, Sir/Ma’am



Many times television and movie romance is on a grand scale. People fly off to Tahiti, Paris and Rome. Roses are sent in bulk and the chocolates never put on the pounds.

Sometimes – well, most of the time - it’s about the little things. Grand gestures are great, but romance is about those millions of little special moments in time.

This is true for romantic poetry, as well.

Love is big and complicated. If you try to cram everything you know and feel into one poem it will become scattered and unfocused at best, difficult or even impossible to follow, at worst.

So, how do you keep from overburdening a poem?

Stick to a single element or theme.


EXAMPLES:

A moment in time: Describe a single moment in your relationship that really touched you. Anything from a kiss to a secret smile at a dinner party can be brought to life. Try using metaphor’s to show the love in your poem. Don’t tell your reader the love that is there – let them feel it for themselves.

A part of the body: The way the eyes can devour a person and the journey a finger can make across the shoulder blades and down the arm are two ways you can show the love you feel.

Elements in nature: A bird caressing the sky in flight and a butterfly kissing the lips of a flower both give loving images.

If you streamline your love poetry to a single section or moment it takes on more power and intensity for your reader – and perhaps for that special someone who you wrote it for.

Write on!

Ask & Answer



This is my last Romance newsletter. I have enjoyed writing for this newsletter for the past few years and hope that you have felt the same.

However, you can still see me writing for the Poetry newsletter and perhaps soon I will return here or at another newsletter.

Thank you all for all your comments and support.

(((HUGS to all)))
