Whether you're looking for the right words to send that special person, or the right words to say on Facebook, there's nothing better than a good romantic poem. This is a collection of some of the best romantic poems, from some of the world's greatest poets.
In just a few words, a romantic poet tells a story that would otherwise require a full length book. Take for example the poem 'Hot and Cold' by Roald Dahl:
A woman who my mother knows
Came in and took off all her clothes.
Said I, not being very old,
'By golly gosh, you must be cold '
'No, no ' she cried. 'Indeed I'm not
I'm feeling devilishly hot '
These 38 words generate full length stories within the mind of each reader.
A romantic poem touches the heart in a way that mere prose never could. A romantic poem is what you send when you want something priceless for your partner, or potential partner.
Within the pages of this book, you'll find a romantic poem for any occasion, a wedding, a new love, an anniversary, a lost love, or even for a naughty night.
