It’s a Heat Wave of Poetry
Most of the United States is enveloped in a heat wave right now. I’ve been singing the song “Fever” because our “feels like” temperatures have been in the triple digits for the majority of several weeks. Now if you know the lyrics of that song, you know it’s more about love and romance rather than the temperature outside, so it makes perfect sense that we make this heat wave edition of the newsletter about love poetry.
Instead of singing about the high heat, my husband would rather eat jalapenos and top foods with siracha. Since those things scorch my mouth, I avoid them, but he and many others enjoy this method. Something about the sweat cooling him off. Me? I’d rather sit in the air conditioning.
So just like eating spicy foods to beat the heat, let’s write some love poetry and see if that works, too.
Types of love—and all which can be great inspirations for love poetry:
MILD: This includes all types of platonic relationships.
MEDIUM: This encompasses young love, new love, etc.
HOT: This is the consensual adult, erotic type. NOTE: erotic doesn’t necessarily mean XXX-rated explicit.
Below I share a poetry form to assist you in some new love poetry creations. I challenge you to try to create a mild, medium, and hot version.
