Romantic Christmas Poetry

Show your love during the holidays with romantic Christmas poetry. Whether you use your words or those of someone else, the sentiment will be treasured for years to come.

Poets have the wonderful ability to weave the magic of the holidays into hearts and flowers we can keep forever. Curl up with a book of inspirational Christmas poetry, for example, and you may discover a perspective about the holiday you never thought possible.

For all the volumes of romantic poetry available, very little of it involves Christmas. This might explain why some modern poets are trying their hand at blending the holidays with love.

• Paul Curtis has an original take on love and Christmas.
• The site Short Love Poems features a few new authors and their romantic Christmas poetry.
• Poem Source features a smattering of poetry dedicated to loved ones during the holidays, most of it composed by the prolific writing couple Joanna and Karl Fuchs.
• Visit Coolest Holiday Parties.com for a selection of various poets and their feelings about love and Christmas.

You might also try the following books. While they may not all contain romantic Christmas poems, they are helpful for creating a cozy moment in front of the fire or by the Christmas tree with someone you love, reading aloud to one another.

• Noel Happiness: Christmas Poetry in Rhyme by Celeste Nadine Gallucci
• The Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry by assorted authors

What might seem like a simple gesture in rhyme may be the be something your loved one rereads every year. If you need a sweet sentiment for the woman that rocks your world, but can’t find the right words, try your hand at writing romantic Christmas poetry. She will appreciate the effort, no matter what.

Start by thinking of a holiday memory that moves you. Recreate the scene in a visual way, then put those images on paper. Don’t worry if it rhymes or not – this isn’t English class. But the way the lines break will add extra emphasis. Remember your first Christmas with your loved one, like this writer's example.

The First Gift is the Best

Our first Christmas together,

I thought you were the most beautiful sight,

In your fuzzy, yellow slippers, hair askew,

With pink cheeks, like Santa’s little helper.

You gave me socks, like my mom would,

And a very cool titanium driver,

But the greatest gift of all, I know this for sure,

Is simply being my loving wife every day.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart, this year and always.

Having a hard time choosing a gift for a special man in your life? A romantic Christmas gift might be a love coupon booklet paired with poetry. The love coupons can be just about anything – from a 20-minute backrub or a candlelight dinner, to the time to indulge in a special hobby or a “naughty or nice” lunch date!

Put redeemable dates on the coupons, and create them on your computer, Then, print the booklet on special holiday stock paper and tie the pages together with a ribbon. For fun, write a humorous but romantic Christmas poem for the cover of the booklet. Here are a couple fast and silly attempts by this writer:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

For Christmas this year,

All I want is you!

Or maybe this one:

The packages are wrapped,

The tree is a delight,

Meet me under the mistletoe,

And you’ll get a big present tonight!
