      Romantic Poetry - Emily Browning

      Preface

      It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is true, then how many words is a poem, which creates a multitude of pictures and images in a readers mind, worth? The right twenty or so words, in the proper order and with the right nuance, can take a reader through every emotion imaginable, something that no single picture could ever do.

      In just a few words, a poet can tell a story that would otherwise require a full length book.

      A romantic poem is something entirely different. A romantic poem touches the heart in a way that prose, art or music never could. A romantic poem is what a husband or boyfriend looks for when they can’t afford a diamond.

      A romantic poem is the diamond of words, warming the heart better than anything else can. When you’re in love, and want to tell someone exactly how you feel, send a romantic poem.

      Within these pages, you’ll find a romantic poem for any occasion, a wedding, a new love, an anniversary, a lost love, or even for a naughty night.
