WRITING ROMANTIC LOVE POETRY EXERCISE!
Read this exercise and try it out on your own! This is meant to help writers and is taken from a “Romantic Love - Based on exercise by Mrs. Anna Villegas”
Romantic love is different from platonic, brotherly, altruistic, unconditional or parental love. You can treat it seriously, you can mock it, you can cause tears to fall or laughter to ring out. You decide how to approach the theme of romantic love. The idea starter: Take one of the following lines and extend it into a poem, where you feel it leading to.
Now define love in a poem preserving a single metaphor. Flesh it out as much as you can within the imagination, but keep it related to the metaphor you choose. Perhaps the best way to start is to list all you can, then cross out ones you can’t relate to.
