Humorous Love Poems

Love Poetry has separate sections devoted to Paul Curtis's funny love poems and his humorous love poems. Confusing, isn't it? Where a poem ends up depends on its intent - funny love poems are first and foremost funny poems which contain a romantic element, whereas the humorous love poems are love poems which executed with a lightness of touch or twist which may bring a wry smile to your face.

Beneath The Clock

An evening pregnant with possibility begins with a couple meeting for a blind date and ends with a terrible miscarriage of justice.

On His Deathbed

A darkly humorous poem about deathbed confessions of infidelity and worse...

Another

A funny poem in which the protagonist contemplates his approaching twentyfifth wedding anniversary and looks back over his years of marriage. This would be an ideal poem to read at a silver wedding celebration if you were certain either that the marriage was absolutely solid or that one of the parties had already commenced divorce proceeding.

Love is Contagious

A gently comic poem about the physical and emotional effects of falling in love on the human, or perhaps more particularly on the male, psyche.

Scattered to Shattered

A romantic retrospective in poetic form. Put slightly more intelligibly, Scattered to Shattered is a humorous, slightly sad poem about growing old.

Menopausal Monitor

Really a funny love poem, Menopausal Monitor reaches a suitably romantic conculsion to be included with the humorous love poetry.
