Love Poems

Welcome to an exciting new collection of love poems by contemporary English writers. The collection interweaves love poetry of all types - the comic and the tragic, the romantic and the platonic, the sentimental and the sensual. With such a heady poetic mix, not all poems will be to all tastes.

Teenagers and adults should be warned that some of the erotic poems contain graphic sexual imagery - a statement which, like a magnet, will attract as many people as it repels!
