Love's Labour's Lost

The Poem Hunter

So you're looking for a love poem. Perhaps a funny love poem to relieve the boredom at work? A sad love poem to embellish a suicide note? Or possibly a love poem for a special occasion - St. Valentine's Day, a marriage ceremony or a wedding anniversary? The Love Poetry collection, although small, is extraordinarily wide ranging, offering a love poem for almost every mood or occasion. If you're looking for a specific type of romantic poem, the site's search facility offers the best chance of success.

The Poetry Lover

For most readers, Love Poetry afford the opportunity to meander, to forage, to explore at leisure. To provide a few way markers, the poems have been loosely categorised into three main sections:

Romantic Love Poetry

The main collection of romantic love poems is made up of sections devoted to different types of love poetry. The first love poems are tender, romantic poems about the experience of falling in love for the first time, whether it be at the age of 15 or 50. The love poems are verses which focus on both the physical and emotional aspects of love in the context of stable, lasting relationships, be that marriage or less conventional arrangements. The romantic love poems move away from the physicality of love to concentrate on the emotion, the romance, the passion of of being in love. The final selection of sad love poems deal sensitively but emotionally with the difficult issues of lost or unrequited love, failed relationships and the loss of a spouse or partner.

Erotic Poetry

The poems in the erotic poetry category range from the mildly titillating to full, hard-on evocations of animalistic sexual encounters rendered in verse form. Erotic poems are not to all tastes, but those who like sensual, sexually charged poems will find that Paul's poems deliver the goods!

Funny Love Poetry

The funny love poetry section encompasses both humorous and funny romantic poetry. The distinction between the two is somewhat arbitrary, but the funny love poems are essentially funny poems which have as the theme either love, or romance, or relationships, whereas the humorous love poems are romantic poems which have a humorous element or amusing twist.

The Easily Offended

Love Poetry is, but its very nature, a collection of adult poems. Readers who are easily offended will find the website contains much material to fan the flames of their righteous indignation. Our complaints department is always open, but very rarely staffed!
