How to Use a Book of Love Poems to Propose

Including a love poem in your proposal adds a special touch for those couples who enjoy literature. You can write your own poems or use a book written by a published poet. Follow these steps for a perfectly poetic proposal.

Things You'll Need

• Book of poems
• Ring

Instructions

1. Decide if you will write your own poems or use ones written by another poet.

2. Consider embedding clues in each poem if you write your own. For instance, the first letter of each line in one poem could spell "Will you marry me?"

3. Bind the poems together or present them in a scrapbook.

4. Consider adding a note at the end of the book that either spells out the proposal or asks her to meet you in a specific location where you can propose verbally.

5. Be ready with the ring and a few words to make the proposal official when your girlfriend is done reading the book.
