I gave this love poem to the girl in my group. I told her I liked her at the beginning of the semester, but she told me she isn't looking to date in college. We hung out several times and my one-sided love never bothered her. I bought her a gift at the end of the semester since I won't see her over Christmas, and attached to the poem. She hasn't texted me since. Is it bad?
>Venus, throw wide the gates of mine heart >Steady me as I sing of unrequited love >And of mortal beauty unparalleled
>Imagine a cloudless night on a plain or a hilltop >When the vault of heaven is unadulterated and sable >But for the multitude of stars that break the vast expanse >The fire thereof is such as her eyes contain >Though their colour be of the sea, or of noble sapphire
>Unkempt hair, yea, but so comely >How divine, how exquisite must it be >When tressed in all its golden splendor? >Her skin, what may I liken it to but virgin snow >As that on capped Olympos? >Olympos, reaching heavenward, unpolluted by earthly mire
>Need I sing of her dress, so reserved? >Her mannerisms, so womanly, so bashful? >Naught but the sight of her lifts my spirit >Her laughter is my light in the darkness
>She is as described hitherto >Yet remains as chaste as aegis-bearing Pallas >Or forest-roaming Diana in her rustic beauty
>What of her oddities, you may say >Her blemishes unsung, yet conspicuous? >To this I say, what is a mortal >But imperfection, if thou wishest to see it? >Nevertheless, as I see her soul >In mine eyes she is flawless

Stop it, Robert.

Its probably over. You’re young and this will fade. Keep your chin up and live to love another day bb

If she is Veeky Forums then its fine, if not then you messed up real bad
Elijah Brown
Decent poem but the references to Roman goddesses and the use of archaic English would bother a normal person. If you're going to write a poem for anyone but yourself, use modern English
Anthony King
I'm glad that you're asking us before you do actually give it to her, despite the blatant lie you try selling us. Don't give this to her, it's pretentious, turgid, humorless, and unconscious of what makes a good love poem. Work on writing a poem that feels like 2017
Juan Baker
>Work on writing a poem that feels like 2017 the tiger is aroused yes YES
Blake Jackson
I don't define years by their lowest common denominator.
Carter Foster
>pretentious It's not if OP actually reads classic literature. >humorless Okay, Shakespeare, why don't you let real poets write? Comedy is trash > and unconscious of what makes a good love poem You mean expressing feelings of love? Why should a poem follow any archetype? >Work on writing a poem that feels like 2017 If OP can't namedrop Greek/Roman gods of all things, she isn't worth dating
Jordan Torres
Do you go to NYU?
Austin Ortiz
If so, fuck you, and stay away from my ex-gf
Jaxson Perry
>Yet remains as chaste as aegis-bearing Pallas >Or forest-roaming Diana in her rustic beauty >Yet remains chaste
You can't write this to a modern girl you autist
Zachary Scott
>Decent poem My fucking sides are dying here.
Oliver Gray
We're both engineers.
No
She actually is, though. She's a devout Christian, that's why she isn't dating during college.
Ryder Jenkins
She’ll think you’re fucking creepy for bringing it up dude sadly.
Owen Turner
She probably thinks you a massive faggot.
Anthony Gonzalez
>the artwork is forgiven by the activities of the artist >he thinks comedy and humor are the same thing >he thinks he can pull off a deadly serious brooding love poem without humor for a girl who has previously rejected him >he thinks he expressed feelings of love in a poem whose metaphorical weight rests on the power of descriptions of behavior and denotations of proper name >he thinks telling a girl she is comely will be received as a complement >he doesn't demonstrate any willingness to make the words he uses into something that sounds pretty >he thinks telling a modern woman that she is chaste is a complement >his big punch at the end is the quite original observation that human beauty is imperfect and that is what makes it so much better >he got me to write this much about bait
Gabriel Lewis
Doesn't matter, it's not romantic that you love her because she's a virgin. It's just creepy and neckbeardish as fuck.
Easton Gutierrez
Never try this hard. Girls hate that shit.
Joshua Ortiz
>She's a devout Christian And you likened her to two pagan goddesses.
It's over, this uptight bitch will never spread her legs for you.
Cooper Rivera
Men who want virgins are invariably virgins themselves, and are too afraid of being found out by a more experienced chick.
Evidence: OP's clueless "romantic" gesture.
Caleb Price
I've slept with 4 different women, though, 3 of which were one night stands. I've never had a girlfriend for more than a month, so I dream of a perfect relationship and idealize it to this point.
John James
Wrong it's not about sex as much as you think even though it is about sex. It's about having a romanticized ideal of a relationship.
Hunter Morales
Idealizing people is violence
Anthony Reyes
>Did you just call my hair unkept, user? It's over, pal. Also, >mixing Greek and Roman god names By Jove, you faux-pas'd dreadfully. If she's Veeky Forums, you're done for. If she's a good Catholic (and therefore Veeky Forums), you're doubly done for, as already pointed out. And if she's a pleb--do I have to even say it?--oh, she will be laffin.
Michael Martin
this poem isn't very robert, it's devoid of subtle, backhanded insults
Tyler James
Are you me?
Zachary Perez
If she's not a very specific kind of weirdo, she'll laugh or be creeped out. As she should, this is weird and creepy and the poem is absolute shit.
Jayden Walker
Give it up dude, she doesn't like you. You'll be better off this way. There are lots of women out there.
Bentley Walker
Judging by his poem and reaction, there really aren't
Jonathan Fisher
also the poem isnt bad. Youre too good for her, king.
Zachary Sanchez
The only reason you should write poetry like this is if the girl is somewhat educated in ancient Greek literature and well-versed in a more archaic English. With that said, she probably isn't and this was probably unreadable to her. I hate to say that, man. It's a shame but that's how it goes these days. You should write with your audience in mind. These references most likely went over her head (she's a woman) and were probably off-putting. Also, comparing women to goddesses is called flattery and doesn't work. Most women these days are materialists and probably think any comparison to a goddess is weird.
Dylan Hughes
Don't encourage him.
Josiah Roberts
>Veeky Forums tries to write love poems
This shit needs to be saved. It's just too perfect in how awful it is.
Parker Edwards
didn't rilke say something about starting with poems about fire hydrants or something? don't write love poetry until you're a master.
Mason Walker
There is a 90% chance se that she will not understand your references and think that your a pretentious weirdo. If not there is a 99% chance that she will think you're a virgin creep for praising her virginity. If not there is a 99.9% chance that she will think that your beta as fuck because you put her on a pedestal. That leaves you with a wooping 0.0001% of this working out. Good luck OP, you might consider getting some rope or a gun.
Xavier Lee
When will betafags just learn poems is a shit idea? Christ, have some level of awareness here; it's not the 18th century.
Jaxon Cooper
>Love poetry Huge mistake >To a girl you're not dating Huger mistake. Also she's lying. She just doesn't want to date you >At the beginning of the semester Wew lad. You don't think things through do you. >Bought her a gift after too Oh jesus christ. >No texts.
Nigga cry if you want but don't ever talk to her again. Save your dignity and use it as a learning experience. There's nothing stupid about doing this ONCE maybe. But it should never happen again. You'll look like a manchild otherwise. Good luck m8.
Jonathan Cook
chasteness is a virtue tho, being a whore is disgusting and no man wants to think about other men fucking the object of their affection you cucklefuck nigger
Nicholas Evans
I was best friends with my old girlfriend for a year before we started dating. Not everybody meets and fucks the next day. There is nothing wrong with being friends with a girl, but don't wait on her, go out there and date other women
Lucas Bailey
quick, send her a picture of your cock
Joshua Rogers
This. The poem was a terrible idea if you're ucky she'll accept a dic pic
Jack Rodriguez
Pick up Neil Strauss - The Game and learn how to play,...It's over let it go but if you had sent this to another girl in front of her she would probably have being choking on your dick
>In mine eyes she is flawless Chads getting a real image of her choking on his dong right now, shes even tearing up but she's still swallowing it all, good girl, yeah flawless...for him not for you
