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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

There's no way he didn't know it was from you. Did you really think he wouldn't find it the least bit suspicious that someone just handed him a piece of love poetry for no apparent reason?

Awesome that you wrote him a poem. Nothing wrong with feeling vulnerable. What people don't realize is that the person that admits he or she is vulnerable is actually stronger than the person who doesn't admit their fears. Poetry is awesome. I once wrote a guy a poem and he loved it. He told me to write more and to write a song for him. Obviously, this guy doesn't sound like much of a romantic. Don't listen to that HataZ!

Yeah, Never write poems for guys, even if you know them well. Their reaction in their heads would be," You got to be ******** me, old girl got some issues." Well thats what I thought when I got a poem written for me. Hope this is a Lesson Learned...... Stick with flirting

What did you expect, that 100 words on a sheet of paper would make him fall for you too? It doesn't happen like that in real life.

to all the guys saying that they cant imagine any guy would like to receive poetry... there ARE guys who are into that, and no, theyre not all emo. theres an appropriate time and place for everything...including poetry. it wouldnt have changed his feelings for you, but perhaps he wouldve critiqued your poem with more respect and sensitivity if you had talked to him before hand about your feelings, and then showed him the poem and said you wrote it. any guy whos worth your time - even as a friend - will take your feelings into consideration and appreciate the sheer fact that you took the time to write something for/about them. agreed that not everyone is a literary genius, nor should most people try to be...but, poems are never a problem to write for your own personal enjoyment - theyre a great outlet for emotions/ideas that you find hard to share with others, dont want to share, or just something that you want to get off your chest. ive been writing poems for years..ive written over 70- and theres a few ive given to friends, some ive given to guys, and some ive never shared with anyone. but, if you know for certain where you stand with someone before you give them a poem, i guarantee youll get a better response :) to the guys who said theyd like to receive poetry.... props to you :) for being open about it and interested in creativity and passion.

Some guys might like one. I think I'd kinda be indifferent about it, but chuffed you took the time to do it. Try not to make it like 'how vulnerable you are', but otherwise, don't be embarrassed, that's just not the kinda thing this particular boy likes :)

Man, I have read a lot of these. This sucks. You should seriously talk to him.

Sadly it is human nature to seek what is elusive. You can do better.

Ok number 1) it's sweet of you to think of a poem to express your feelings. number 2) if he can't appreciate something as sweet as that, he was never worth it in the first place.
