Poetry is an eloquent way to express words of love and commitment. Poetry can be particularly meaningful to a couple that regularly exchanges poems while dating. Yet anyone can appreciate the beauty of carefully chosen words that express heartfelt emotions in a poem.

There are many different types of romantic poems. The proposal poem stands out from other romantic poetry because it expresses love for a lifetime. Types of proposal poems include:

• Traditional love poems: Traditional love poems declare love and talk about the importance of the beloved and why she is loved. The poems speak about lifelong commitment or simply a sustained love. Love poems from both classic poets and modern poets are available. The language may or may not include the words of a marriage proposal. These types of poems compliment a marriage proposal but are not a part of the question.
• Poems proposing marriage: Poems containing marriage proposals are growing in popularity. These poems can communicate the big question in beautiful and moving language.
• Poems about marriage: Some poems that talk about the meaning of marriage and the bond between a married couple may be appropriate during a proposal. A marriage poem can communicate the type of relationship that the person who proposes seeks with his intended.

A handwritten poem adds a personal touch because the poem focuses exclusively on the poet and his beloved. A person does not have to be an experienced poet to write a proposal poem. A girlfriend will treasure any poem that the man she loves writes for her.

Choosing the right poem for a marriage proposal may take some research and thought. Consider the following when selecting a proposal poem:

• Type of poem: Carefully consider which type of proposal poem works with the planned proposal. For example, a traditional love poem in a structured sonnet may work better for a more formal proposal than a less formal loose poem.
• Personality of the intended bride: Think about the bride-to-be's personality and taste in poetry when choosing poems. Some people prefer traditional love poems with formal language to modern poems with current slangs.
• Poetry format: Some poems are easier to recite than others. If reciting poetry is part of the proposal plan, pick a poem that is easier to remember. Poems that rhyme and short poems are easier to memorize than long epics. It is also easier to select poems with language that is easy to pronounce and recognize than using complex sonnets or poems that use Old English.
• Poem message: Poems convey imagery and messages with words. Decide what messages and images are most important for the planned proposal. Pick a poem that meets the imagery and message goals.

Writing poetry can be challenging, especially for someone new to poetry writing. Both new and experienced poets can write quality proposal poems. It just takes practice and a little research on poetry. Here are some tips for writing proposal poetry:

• Read the works of famous poets for inspiration.
• Write down a list of the beloved's qualities, feelings for the beloved and dreams for the future. Consult the list when working on the poem for inspiration and to remained focus on important details to stress in the poem.
• Use words that are easy to understand, pronounce and memorize. Do not use a larger vocabulary than normal to avoid stumbling over words during the proposal.
• Practice writing a few drafts of the poem before finalizing it to make sure that it includes all the important details.

Proposing with poetry is a romantic gesture that can create a beautiful proposal memory. There are many ways to include poems in a proposal, including the following:

• Declare love for the intended and then recite the poem before getting down on one knee and proposing.
• Create a scrapbook of special photos of happy memories together. Write the poem that proposes marriage on the last page of the scrapbook. Another variation is to write a few lines of the poem on each page of the scrapbook and conclude with the big question on the last page.
• Engrave a short line from a favorite poem in the engagement ring band. This only works if the band is wide enough for an engraving.
• Burn a CD of special romantic songs and include a recitation of the poem. Listen to the CD together and surprise her with the proposal. After she listens to the proposal, get down on one knee and propose. This is a good idea for a romantic proposal.
