I’d rather get a love letter. Few people are capable of good poetry. Elizabeth Barrett-Browning, now she could write poetry. Jim Morrison could write poetry. Joe Don Buckleknobs will probably send me something about roses being red.
And while we’re on the topic, please don’t serenade me. Unless you’re an actual musician, an off-key rendition of Stairway to Heaven really takes me out of the moment.
Wow, this makes me sound like a real bitch. I know the guy puts in effort, but I’m just not big into romantic gestures. I like flowers, but I’d rather a man just said I love you and did something nice for me. Love languages.

If my guy wrote me a poem/love letter, I'd punch him in the face and ask him what he did with my actual guy...
Not our style.

I like love Post-its. Less violence and suspicion. “Left you some coffee, love ya”
Don’t worry la femme I won’t ruin my shot with you I know I no where near have a shade of Shakespeare
Though to let you know I have been working on metered verse for epic poems
An Ex wrote me into her X-Files slash. She always made me a homicidal maniac. *swoon* just about the most romantic thing ever.
If it was good poetry, I'd much rather read that. I'm not a fan of romance though, so love letter would be completely off the table.
My (female) coworkers and I made up a playlist called "cringe", which is all the songs that boys or men tried to inflict upon us... You know, embarrassing moments like when you're a musician and someone has the cajones to sing "I'll Be" at you.

Depends. I once got a poem that really moved me. I had no idea he had those kinds of thoughts and feelings toward me. I am also felt that way about him, but it was impossible, so I had resolved to keep those feelings to myself. He has since published that poem, and I don't want him to find us here, so I won't share. But. Wow. That poem terrified me. I showed it to friends, asking what I should do. Everyone was as stunned by the raw beauty as I was. The situation was impossible, as I said, and no one else knew what I should say either. Imagery. Rhythm. References to special moments. It is still the nicest thing anyone has ever written to me.
Love letters are easier. I have received ones that were funny, ones that were mushy, and some that were just very sweet.
Me? I write songs and poems. I send cards. I don't think I've ever written a love letter.

- Enid,
Love letter. For sure. Even though I love poetry, I once got a love letter to rival all love letters so I'm going with that.
Artist pref? Can't make one. Musical, visual, verbal--all are great.

Alex Grey; Scramble Campbell; if I claimed a fave musician, I’d have no friends because I’d alienate them all; writers, oh so many writers from Alice Walker to Sherman Alexie to Philip Roth (of blessed memory). I was talking about M Scott Momaday today. And Sandra Cisneros a week ago.
Sunflowers
Author:
STANISŁAW BALIŃSKI
To the rhythm of distant, rhythmic, long-lasting music,
Golden sunflowers lull me in the sun.
I don't hear human voices, I don't see the bottom of the hut,
I only hear the melody, I only see the flowers.
Bees sweeter than violins, the day sweeter than honey,
They lured me into the middle of a country garden
And covered them with a shroud of golden homeland,
Through which the sun filters holy optimism.
Separated from the world, closed among the glow,
I become my own shadow that froze on the sand,
And I die with him under the echo of the music,
Killed by huge golden sunflowers.

Well, hubby's a songwriter, so there's that. He has written me a love letter, and he wrote a song for me. Of course, the song got recorded, and he got royalties, so there's that. I'm not saying it took away something, but it sure felt different after that.
I told him to go ahead and write another one if there's another Volvo in it for me!

Don't get me wrong I appreciate art and music etc, but if some guy wrote me a poem or love letter it'd probably make me wanna spew, even the thought of it making me feel queezy
I'm in @Tight_N_Juicy camp here, apart from being physically sick I'd wanna punch the guy lmao, soft soap and soppy shit ain't my style Lol.
