Are you about to celebrate a special anniversary with that special someone? If so, don’t forget that a proper gift is required to make any anniversary celebration just right. Don’t worry, though, because the perfect anniversary gift might be much easier than you think to come up with. Try writing some great anniversary poems for the one you love.
As an author and a professor of creative writing, it of course comes naturally to think about ways to incorporate writing into any gift situation. I love thinking of new ways to use words to express feelings or thoughts to people I love. One year I wrote each of my five children a unique children’s story for their birthdays, and my wife is never surprised by some special writing pieces on her birthday or other occasions. I believe that writing is powerful, and that’s why I think all people would benefit by writing great anniversary poems for the ones they love this year.
