Poetry and Poems

Sometimes it seems that ‘I love you’ has become very common and stale phrase. However, it is not so. These words are magical and eternal. They express some emotions which cannot be expressed in words. We all crave to hear these words from the one we love. Expressing your love in plain language is not a bad idea yet you can add extra special value to them by saying it in different ways.

You should tell your loved one that you love him/ her in a way that he/she would never forget; make an everlasting impression by expressing your love in an exceptional way.

There are many ways by which you can express your feelings. You can tell your beloved about your emotions by gifting him/her red roses. Red rose is an eternal symbol of love and emotions. People love to receive red roses from their lovers and cherish them. Red roses with a note or I love you card is one of the best ways to express your feelings.

You can also say I love you to your loved one along with a sweet gift. You can gift your beloved something that he/ she will truly love. The gifts can be chocolates, a teddy, and a perfume of his /her choice or a ring. The best idea to gift your beloved the thing he/she needs the most at the present time. It will make his/her happiness many folds accompanied with I love you note.

A simple I love you card is also a plain and straight but an effective way of expressing your love to your beloved. You can find an endless range of I love you cards. Depending upon the personality of your beloved, if he/she loves humor, you may choose a funny I love you card or if he/she appreciates poetry, you can send a sentimental card with a poem on it.

A warm hug brimming with emotions of love is also a great way to tell your loved one that you love him/ her. Just hug your love and tell him/ her looking in the eyes that ‘ I love you’.
All these ways are very effective to express your love to your beloved and make him or her feel your Prince or Princess.

Afternoon Storm
by Richard B

Rain drops, a voice,
Blue clouds, a song,
Torrent, a chorus,
And thunder, the drums
Matinee showcase,
By the window, it’s warm,
Play me another, afternoon storm."

I thought elegies mourn the dead. Why are elegiac couplets called elegiac couplets if they can be used for love poetry? Is the love poetry supposed to be sad?

OK, the other answerers are close, but not quite. You need to understand Ovid in context.

NONONONONO Amores is not dark, and shame on the person who said that! If you read the Latin, or are at ALL familiar with Ovid pre-exile (and to some extent during), he doesn’t take anything seriously, especially when he is trying to convince you he is.

And yes, elegy is a style of meter (one foot shorter than epic, which is the key to understanding the meta-joke of Amores 1.1), and yes, it began as a dirge or mourning meter, but began to change in Greece and later in Rome. Initially the change was probably to compare the act of falling in love to loss or death. Grecian Callimachus was really the first and most famous to use elegy for love poems and erotica, and in Rome it gained popularity with poets like Propertius and to some degree Catullus. Ovid, however, took this somewhat serious love poem and exposed how superficial and empty it really was. The object of supposed love was far less relevant than the poet’s own prowess and cleverness. One scholar, Michael Putnam I think, said something about Ovid taking elegy and ironizing it out of existence. What Ovid does is he takes all of these elements of prior works and then exposes how ridiculous they are, so for the Amores, elegy is quite funny and occasionally dirty. (See Amores 3.7) Later Ovid uses the meter in Tristia ("sadness") to mourn his exile from Rome, but the earlier love works are definitely meant to be taken with a grain of salt and a bit of dry wit. (There are sparse moments of heartfelt sadness though, such as Amores 2.14.)

In English we returned the notion of elegy to funerary poetry even as we changed the meter (Thomas Grey’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard for instance).
