Instead Of A Card Poetry Pamphlet Ten Poems to say I Love You
How many ways are there to say “I love you”? According to poetry there are many – with room for humour, longing, lust, tenderness and a healthy dose of self-mockery.
These fourteen poems are not about love but declare it with an immediacy that’s captivating and irresistible. Longing may be expressed using all sorts of images – there’s even a riff on a famous Shakespeare sonnet where we find ourselves in outer space – but at the heart of all the poems is love and the urgent need to proclaim it:
“I love your eyes when the love light liesLit with a passionate fire.”
from ‘I Love You’ by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
This is an anthology that says “I love you” with a freshness and directness that’s guaranteed to stir even the stoniest of hearts.
