100 Best Love
Poems
What is a love poem?
Is it necessarily a poem about romantic love? About romance?
Marriage and commitment? Or is a love poem something else
entirely?
In a recent short
story I wrote, a writer is told by a young critic that he
doesn't understand love. "It's neither noble nor eternal, as
you would have your audience believe," she says.
"Nobody understands
love," the writer admits. "It seems to be Universal. Timeless.
Yet, it's also very individual, filtered by our own lives and
expectations. I don't understand love, and can't understand
love, because it's a different thing for each of
us."
These love poems are
Universal. Timeless. And yet very much a different thing for
each of us. We hope you enjoy them...
Let the countdown
begin.
