How to Write Poetry for Others: More About How to Write Meaningful Love Poetry

Over the generations, there have been thousands of love poets who have written meaningful, significant and effective love poetry, only to have their work senselessly destroyed, plagiarized by someone else or even lost. Numerous love poets and others have not recognized the value or the merit of love poetry and the meaningful message that it conveys. Tragically, many pieces of love poetry have wound up tossed aside or the message contained within the love poetry has been ignored or forgotten.

One of the ways to combat this tragic scenario is by learning how to write more meaningful love poetry, so that it touches, changes and enhances the lives of others. 

As a professional love poet, do you always write love poetry that appears to be meaningful to you and others? If you are truly a love poet, that is probably the only kind of poetry that you ever write. Thus, as a writer of meaningful love poetry, be aware that your love poetry does have value in terms of being a valuable literary work, with the potential to offer an extremely important message of love, joy, peace and hope to others.

On the other hand, your love poetry may express the negative or dark side of love. We often come to know the full meaning and significance of all aspects of life, when we see the dark side of something in contrast to its lighter side.

Be aware that even personal love poetry may prove to be a masterpiece of content, meaning and significance for others, now or at some time in the future.

As a writer of meaningful love poetry, title and document your work. You may want to number each piece of poetry for later reference. Record some of the details about the background of your love poem, too.

How did it come about?

Why did you write it?

Why is it meaningful to you, or possibly, to someone else?

A lot of love poetry is put to music over time, so be aware that you can touch and change the lives of others with its musicality. Emphasizing the musicality in your love poetry will help to add a new and different dimension to your work and offer an unexpected, unusual or unique element of expression to it.

Always seek to obtain, honest, positive and constructive feedback from others, with respect to your love poetry. That is not always an easy task to accomplish, as many times, love poetry is often regarded as being simplistic, idealistic and romantic.

Talk to professional love poets about your love poetry. By entering into a dialogue with them, you will soon learn whether your love poetry has meaning for them or if they see it as being significant to others, in some way.

What is your source of inspiration? It does not really matter what the actual source is with regard to your love poetry, as love, by its very nature, is extremely diverse and complex. Everything and everyone can prove to be inspirational, in some way. Writing love poetry about what inspires a love poet can be meaningful to the writer, as well as to many others.

Keep on writing love poetry regardless of the response that you receive to it. Do not get discouraged and give up. Recognize the reality that at first, there may be only a small number of people who find your work meaningful. It may take time before others become aware of its true significance.

Know that if you touch and change the life of even one individual, your efforts at writing meaningful love poetry will not have been in vain, so put your time, energy and your whole heart into writing meaningful love poetry for others, not just for yourself.

Trust God's Holy Spirit to lead you to write love poetry that expresses His divine meaning for you and others.

Let your muse inspire you.

Remember that if your love poetry truly has true meaning or significance for you and your life, it will probably affect others that way, also.

Write on, love poet and enjoy your new love poetry writing experience!
