Hi All,

WRITING FOR LOVE

There are so many ways to tell someone you love them, writing is one of them.

Poems and letters are a truly awesome way to share your feelings with your loved ones. Special occasions are a great time to express your feelings, or you can do it everyday for someone that's dear to you. You can write for your spouse, your children, your parents, your siblings and your friends. There's absolutely no limit to how many ways, or times you can express your love with words. The art of poetry is sadly dying out. Maybe it's not trendy enough for the younger generation, I think it's time we brought it back to life, time we saw the real beauty of it, and time to start letting our famliy and friends, know how much they mean to us.

Your Partner:

Your spouse or partner, play a signifigant part in your life, so it's imortant to let them know how you feel as often as you can. You can write a small love note, or a love letter. Or if you're feeling really creative you can write a poem. There's many creative places to put them to. Placing one under a cereal bowl, or inside a newspaper, is a great idea. Putting one on their pillow is really romantic. It really doesn't matter how your partner receives you letter, or poem, as long as you remember to express your feelings.

Your Children:

Those joyous little bundles,you nuture for a lifetime. They give you so many reasons to express your love for them. If you're writing it's probably best to wait untill they can read!! They have many life experiences, where you can jot down your feelings for them. There's that great sporting achievement, or a graduation. What about when they've achieved even the smallest accomplishment, they're so proud of themselves, they beam with happiness. Or the time the're sad, and they need lots of love, and comforting. With children the ideas are endless.

You Parents:

In this case it's the other way around, they've nutured you for a lifetime. It's important to thank them every now and again, let them know how much they're love and appreciated. Parents have the hardest job in the world, the most time consuming, and the most enriching. Anniverseries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Birthday's, are a good time to express your love for them. All you need to do is, remember everything they've done for you, and you'll have no trouble telling them how you feel.

Your Siblings:

Letting your brothers and sisters know how much you love them is essential, because this relationship, although mostly filled with love, is quite often a source of annoyance. Siblings seem to do a lot of arguing, over trivial things, which often, are hard to resolve. If they could express their feelings in writing, it may make it easier to fix the problem. Brothers and sisters often get separated due to either marriage, or employment. One or more sibling get a job, or get married, and can find themselves in different a state, or another country, The art of writing can greatly shorten the distance.

Your Friends:

True friends are very hard to find, so when you do it's a good idea to try and hang on to them. Especially again, if you get separated by distance. Don't let too much time go by, without letting them know how special they are, and how much their friendship is teasured. Distance can put a strain on any relationship, so it's important to that you keep telling them how much you care.

Every day of our lives we experience love in one form or another. It doesn't matter, who we love, or how much we love them, there's always going to come a time, when your relationship needs a helping hand, to keep it healthy. Writing down your feelings, and sharing them with your loved ones, is a good way to help the relationship stay on the right track.

Love is a great inspiration for writing poetry, there's a lot of poems written about love, and not just by known authors. Love doesn't always make us happy, sometimes it can be very painful. Poetry is an age old art, and my guess is, many a forlorn lover have put their feelings in a poem. Love is an easy, and inspirational subject, because there's never any shortage of ideas to write about.
