Today, I wrote a poem for this guy I am falling for. Before telling him that I wrote it, he read it and then laughed at how "corny and stupid" it was because he would "never date someone who could come up with something that lame." The poem was about how vulnerable he makes me feel. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML
Today, my friend, on whom I have a crush since I can remember, read the most beautiful poem to me, which he'd written himself. After reading it, he said that it was for a girl he likes, and asked me if it was good. FML
Today, I spilled my heart out to a guy by showing him one of my poetry journals. He read through it and said, "Wow, I feel sorry for the guy you wrote about." The poems were all about how I loved him. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote me poetry. Here's how it went: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I suck at poetry, show me your tits." That's the most romantic thing he's done for me. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if we were going to become "that stupid couple that sings cheesy songs to each other." I just spent the past 3 months writing the perfect song that I was planning on singing to him tonight. FML
Today, the person I've been trying so hard to get with wrote me a beautiful poem that almost everyone at my school saw and liked. It was about how we'd never be together. FML
Today, my boyfriend came across an old poem I wrote. I like to write horror stuff, but he was disturbed, called it “silly” and “sad”, and said he didn’t want to have a girlfriend who thinks about stuff like that. I'm now discouraged from becoming a writer. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote a song for me. As he was singing it to me I realized it was actually a breakup song. FML
Today, I received the sweetest love letter from my boyfriend after having a bad day. After gushing about it and reading it to my friends, they said it reminded them of a letter that they'd seen online. He got it from a fill-in-the-blank love letter generator. FML

It's cool that you had the guts to gave him a poem you wrote yourself, but you really shouldn't write about how vulnerable someone makes you feel. And they're a little overdone, making them even more corny. Not everyone appreciates poetry though.

GOOD NEWS: You found out what he thought about it before you admitted you wrote it... and sorta embarrassed yourself; assuming that you played it offf BAD NEWS: poetry isnt his thing so you might wanna find a new way of catchin his eye.. if you still want to that is. After what he said.. i'd rather punch him than try again. There are other fishes in the sea. BETTER ONESSSSSSS actually who can appreciate stuff like that. P.S I WANNA READ THE POEMMMMMMMMMMMMMm so post it up please :)

I suppose, then, that is a good thing you didn't tell him you wrote it. I wouldn't pursue him any longer, considering he can't appreciate the nice things that people do for him or at least pretend he likes it so as to avoid hurting feelings.

i wrote a poem about a guy i used to like to and how my feelings for him faded. its okay to write poems its not creepy. its just a way some people express their feelings. if he doesnt like it then... maybe you should find a way to get over it... i mean its not easy but you should cause a guy like that is probably someone you shouldn't go out with. at least you had the guts and creativity to write a poem...its hard for some people to write or think about stuff like that.

NOOOOO. Guys hate the mushy love stuff. :3 it may've been good, but guys don't fall for those kinds of things. They believe it should work guy-to-girl, not vice-versa. >.^

I would also think twice about starting a relationship with a girl that writes me poems. Especially if she calls herself 'vulnerable' in it.

You might want to get with someone who makes you feel better about yourself, idiot.

it's best not to adore someone that doesn't appreciate true feelings. especially some one that doesn't have a common interest as you do such as poetry.

Dear Lord, Why is it that every angst-filled teenager, these days, thinks they're a literary genius? People seem to think they need nothing more than raw emotion to be a poetic prodigy. I want to vomit everytime a girl says she has a passion for writing, then I see a diatribe filled with the "unbridled feelings" she has spewing from every orifice, expressed with spelling and sentence structure that would've caused her to fail the 4th grade, along with language that even a soap opera or **** would call "too cheesy." Please, do yourself a favor and get an unbiased, second opinion from someone who actually has a successful career in the English or writing field.
