Because who needs all that gushy stuff?
By Rebecca Jane Stokes — Written on Jan 13, 2017
I am not a romantic person.
Don't get me wrong, if you want to festoon me with flowers or dump a box of chocolates in my lap, I won't be mad at it.
But if a guy were to compose me a love poem and then recite it?
I'd be more likely to swoon from shame than I would be to swoon from deep and abiding passion at his heartfelt gesture.
Just because I'm not a traditionally romantic woman, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate poetry.
If anything, when I find a love poem for her that isn't all about someone's throbbing member or how their hair looks like sunlight, I feel personally vindicated.
Because let's be real:
Poetry may be full of pure light and love, but love isn't always like that.
Sure those love poems for her that are designed to make a woman feel like a goddess have their place.
But I prefer a love poem for her that's going to point out the awkward, the uncomfortable, the funny, and the dark side of romance and love.
Just because I prefer to read a sweet ode about my vagina, that doesn't mean I don't know how to love or appreciate gestures of romance.
Love poems should be specific.
Sweet little poems are great for sweet women, but a more complicated, sarcastic eye-rolling dame deserves something a little bit different.
She deserves something like one of these totally hilarious and totally lovely poems for her!
Love isn't a four letter word...but it should be!

"I will break every
every fucking
clock on this earth
to prove
that we are
not bad timing."
Every man in love is a bad poet.

He said
"Your are beautiful"
I told him
"beautiful"
is a lazy and lousy way to describe me.

Beards can be red
Swords can glow blue
There's only one precious
And that must be you

I'm obsessed with love,
well with you,
but that sounds
more stalkery
and less poetic.
Falling in love effin' HURTS.

I didn't fall
for you.
You fucking tripped me.

Roses are red

Vodka is cheaper

I like you
You like pizza
I am bad at poems
Kiss me.

Grumpy cat in love.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Faces like yours belong in the zoo.
But don't worry, I'll be there too.
Not in the cage.
But laughing at you.

He smiled
and all I could think
was
"Oh shit."
