Lines from great poets to slip into a text

You don't need to be Shakespeare: the great poets already wrote the most beautiful love lines. Pick the one that echoes your story and add a personal word.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate."

William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnet 43

"She walks in beauty, like the night."

Lord Byron

Sending tip: open with a short line of your own, such as "I read this and thought of you straight away."

How to write your own poem

The secret isn't technique, it's sincerity.

  • Observe: Think of a detail that wins you over — a laugh, a habit, a look. That's where your poem hides.
  • Let it flow: Don't chase complicated words. Say what you feel; the heart always finds the right ones.
  • Read it aloud: If the message rings true to the ear, it's the one. No need to add more.
