Is sending a girl you like a poem
(a) creepy and weird
(b) a grand romantic gesture
(c) guaranteed to get you laid
(d) best left to characters in victorian novels?
Any thoughts?

A), B) and D).
A lady I sent a poem once retaliated by growing a beard. Oral sex went from something I valued to something I dreaded on a nightly basis.
It's cute!
Do it do it
don;t listen to her!

point?
Its A, B and D
unless you are shit hot at poetry and she is into that sort of thing.
Reckon you are better sticking to the old cock in the popcorn though.
...
couldn't that be a reflection on the quality of the poem though?
To be fair my poem was
'I enjoy facial hair on women!
On women, I enjoy facial hair!
The contact of hair against skin is pleasant!
But sadly many women think that if they do not grow their hair it makes them look like a medieval peasant!
The End'.
It was a joke! Some people can't take jokes.
Wowzers
She hated your guts (poem) so much that it made her face grow beard hair? I think that might be the best thing i've ever heard.
A, B and D)... but it really does depend... on soo many factors...
I dunno...
Everything is blurred these days...
i wrote a girl i liked a letter once
she seemed to like it i think. but i dunno she might have thought i was weird. she thinks im weird now, but in a good way
C
C, C, C, C, C.
If not with her, then someone on here.
Its ace!
Are you going to do it?
i did this a few times in secondary school
and it really didn't go down well. Knocked my confidence i guess. i've not really written one since.
It's a bold step and it 'could' work
but that would largely depend on a number of variables, most prominent of which would be the type of character that this young lady is.
It might be best to send her a letter first as a dry run, handwritten though, obviously.
I could imagine you
doing this and I'd love it. You just needed to find the right girl to send it to.
i've found the right girl now
but will never find good enough words.
I've done it before and it worked a treat
hmmm
interesting...i was expecting mostly a and d....
problem is my oscillating hatred of everything I write...I could play around with the words a billion times and be old and grey before i've found the right assonance for the third line...
However, I'm not sure if the 'young lady in question' is a great poetry critic, so i guess that's not such a big deal...question is how obvious does it need to be....
It really needn't be too obvious at all.
The very fact that you have written her a poem will be enough to signal your intent towards her.
...'your intent towards her'?!
Sorry, I've been watching too much Fanny Hill (not as exciting as the title might lead you to believe).
After all, men don't waste their time penning poetry for women that they have no interest in sleeping with.
Write the poem.
And remember you can never use "o'er" "t'was" "thee" and "thine" enough in romantic poetry.
She'll be putty in your hands.
you wanna
write something not too intense but soemthing that isnt cliche
and i'd also try to be precise with what i was trying to put across- no waffly enjambament or iambic pentameter or owt
just a nice poem
plus rhyming is sweet.
i feel like writing a poem now...
Shag me.
Please.
