You're in love! And you're in luck, as far as the poetry thing is concerned. The Web is a big, beautiful lovefest with more than enough ooey-gooey sentiments to go around. For individual sites that specialize in winning words of the romantic kind, check out the Yahoo! Love Poetry category, which deals with, you guessed it, death and taxes! Any one of the listed sites should provide enough verse to make your intended swoon. Your next stop should be The Blender of Love, where you'll find yourself awhirl in poetry, prose, and other assorted media, all relating to affairs d'coeur (which, we're told, means "unpaid internship" in French).
If you're looking for classic love poems, you can't really go wrong with Shakespeare's sonnets, except the one where he says that his "mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" and then goes on to say she's kinda plain looking altogether. That one usually doesn't go over so well. But the rest of the sonnets are pure gold. Trust us! Finally, if, as you mentioned, you're looking to send these sentiments to your loved ones, you might consider visiting one of the many Valentine's Day sites that populate the Web. Most of them are open year round and offer electronic cards to send to potential paramours. Check out Yahoo! Greetings for an example
of what we're talking about. And don't worry that Valentine's Day is six months away -- your sweetheart will be doubly impressed by the out-of-season sentiments.
