What a beautiful notion: "Write me a love letter..."

I've received a few in my time from women who suggest that I've caught their eye. And those few caught my eye!

But a more powerful statement is when a man writes a woman a love letter--in his own handwriting, of course. Is there a warm-blooded woman out there who isn't thrilled with even the prospect of receiving a handwritten love letter?

Denise Edwards (below) asks a question about how special, how intimate and precious the moment is when a man writes a woman a love letter, the question answering itself: "Do men even understand this?" I'm sorry to report that my opinion is that the vast majority of men have no idea of the significance of this one thoughtful act. (If they knew how much progress they could make in "conquering" their love object, they'd be writing one every week!)

The only real problem with this prayerful poem, Dear Vickie, is that your audience here at Authorsden is overbalanced with women writers, all of whom nod their heads in agreement with you, when what we really need are more men writers who will read your poem and suddenly experience a light turning on.

Perhaps I'm far more romantic in nature than the average man. One reason may be that turning seventy years is an old memory of the past for me, and so I really don't give a damn anymore if a company of other men look at me as a weirdo when I acknowledge the soulful value of a woman's endearing and appreciative nod in my direction, understanding that one way to get such a nod is... Yes: Writing a love letter!

Get with it you guys! If you think the sheets on your bed have been rather chilly lately, one well-intentioned love letter is like hot-ironing the sheets. And if you don't understand what I'm talking about, then don't even bother getting out your pen. (Besides, your kind would probably pick up a No. 2 pencil, anyway.)

I absolutely loved your poem, Vickie. As always, you lead the charge in romance and sensuality!

With love, respect and admiration,
Richard

I miss getting love letters! nowadays, everyone just e-mail or text!! There's something special about letters, like secret intimacy, even more than pillow talk, because you can experience than precious moment over and over, for a lifetime!! Do men even understand this?!

handwriting, legible only when I take my time, hah -- I was left handed until my mother and her very best friend, my first grade teacher decided that being left handed was not acceptable -- I struggled mightily to cope with the change -- my handwriting suffered immensely -- back to the really great stuff, your poem -- type me a love letter, just make sure it is in your romantically creative style, with your perfume to create those special aromatics -- that would work for me -- I love your work Vickie -- thanks for sharing it with us -- much love and peace to you my friend -- JMW

Victoria,
This brings back memories. I wrote poems and mailed them to my hubby, even though we lived together at the time. It felt romantic. I haven't done that in years. Maybe it's time to do it again. Great sensual feel to this poem. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

I cannot recall the last time that I actually wrote a letter in my own handwriting. The intended recipient of your request is, in my estimation, very fortunate. Hopefully s/he appreciates it. Thank you, Vickie. Love and best wishes,

Very beautiful dear girl. Blessings, and hugs, J'nia

To receive such a requet as this would definately send me scurrying for pen and paper for the love that flows in the poem is contagious as the flu.

Georg....That Would Be & Is The Most Embraced Love Letter EVER!!!

No stationary here, but I could write a love letter on an old brown paper bag, the paper wouldn't be so attractive but my words will be, because I would have written them on a fox-hole, a lonely night on the front, because I needed you then...and as always.
