Strange Cunt.

Pick some aspect of her appearance, name her after it.
Like Moonface, or Supafinetittayz.
I joke, but you get the idea.

Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate....you'd think he was talking about his wife or a muse or a lover. Nope just writing a poem about the general feeling.

Love poems by their nature are goofy, listless awkward and meaningful most to those that write them not always those for whom it is written. Instea dof referring to her by name or her looks, think of something you think of when she is near

For instance, Carnal apple, Woman filled, burning moon, these are all images that allude to both the woman he is having sex with and actual events. A carnal apple is both a vagina and in his area a sticky fruit. Burning moon is a reference to the heat of sex but is also a reference to a time of nifht in his native region where the moon glows red, the time of night when lovers entwine. (this is pablo Neruda's poem btw)

Read some of Poe. Creepy shit, but very romantic.
I'm thinking of "Anabelle Lee."

I thought of using other name but I felt it unethical and possibly insulting.

I didn't mean steal the name Anabelle Lee. Read Poe for an idea of how to construct a rhythm out of a nice sounding name.

No, my problem is the "Hey, who is this girl you name on you poem?" What if she does not beleive is made up?

I suppose you are not familiar with Neruda, this piece is about a specific lover which is how the imagery is tied together
[reposted ]
Carnal apple, Woman filled, burning moon,
dark smell of seaweed, crush of mud and light,
what secret knowledge is clasped between your pillars?
What primal night does Man touch with his senses?
Ay, Love is a journey through waters and stars,
through suffocating air, sharp tempests of grain:
Love is a war of lightning,
and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.
Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity,
your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages,
and a genital fire, transformed by delight,
slips through the narrow channels of blood
to precipitate a nocturnal carnation,
to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.

Its common practice.
Just say it'd be too embarrassing to write and read her actual name.

That sounds good enough, I will go with that.

Anow what Poe poems will be the best examples?

Annabel Lee
To Helen

But AL is better for an idea of how to use a name.

>>2517911
I have read both now and have some ideas, i better leave a space in in blank in the poem and later see what could fit better

ok, poem done, i hope she likes it

Allude her to beauty to nature
Her actions to 'natural accidents'
like walking in the park... I don't know make it seem like she's blessing the grass and trees with her presence and pretty much what this anon said >>2517868
