Are you about to celebrate a special anniversary with that special
someone? If so, don't forget that a proper gift is required to make any
anniversary celebration just right. Don't worry, though, because the
perfect anniversary gift might be much easier than you think to come up
with. Try writing some great anniversary poems for the one you love.
As an author and a professor of creative writing, it of course comes
naturally to think about ways to incorporate writing into any gift
situation. I love thinking of new ways to use words to express feelings
or thoughts to people I love. One year I wrote each of my five children
a unique children's story for their birthdays, and my wife is never
surprised by some special writing pieces on her birthday or other
occasions. I believe that writing is powerful, and that's why I think
all people would benefit by writing great anniversary poems for the
ones they love this year.
The idea of writing anything let alone poetry seems like too much for
many people, but perhaps that is simply because they were never trained
to write well. Take my advice: I have been watching non-writers turn
into great writers each semester for nearly thirty years. Students
frequently enter my poetry classes with a deep belief that they are not
poets. Three months later they leave with an impressive portfolio and
are convinced that anything is possible. Learning to write anniversary
poems can be much the same process.
If writing great anniversary poems for the one you love sounds like a
great idea, then start today. Begin by getting in touch with someone
who can help you write great poetry. Hire a writing consultant to help
you for an hour or two or attend a writing seminar. If going to class
isn't your style, then head to your local library and check out some
books on writing anniversary poems. You might be surprised at how much
there is to learn.
Giving anniversary poems is one of the most unique and romantic ways to
celebrate with the one you love. So make a commitment today to begin
learning to write special anniversary poems and you'll be able to
surprise and bless your special someone when your next anniversary
rolls around. And don't worry too much about being perfect, just write
your thoughts and feelings in poetry form and you'll have anniversary
poems in no time.
