Question: Help! First Time Writing A Love Poem!!?
How do you start off writing a love poem!?

I have already decided the 'message' of my love poem!. But I'm not sure how to start it off!.

My love poem that I want to start it off is simply!.!.!.

First Stanza: How beautiful she is, what it was that made me love sick, etc

Second Stanza: Explaining why I couldn't make the first move towards her, feeling as if she always belonged to someone else, how I need her help, etc!.

Third Stanza: My conclusion states that I should move on and etc!.

Not sure how to start it off, I simply worked backwards!

Here's my third stanza

Truth may say it could be too late
So catch me if you can
Only if you wish to dare
So take care of yourself while I'm gone
So that maybe when I come back
I'll tell you how I truly feel about you

How was that!? Even though that was my last stanza, was it good at all!?

When I tried to start off my poem, I wasn't sure if it was good or not, so I'll share what I tried to start off

by EE Cummings

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear not fate
(For you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)Www@QuestionHome@Com
