Romanticism and Love Poetry

The characteristics of Romantic poetry from the 1800's are that it emphasizes feeling, intuition and imagination to a point of irrationalization.

Charles Baudelaire quoted that "Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor exact truth, but in a way of feeling."

Others feel that it emphasizes individualism, freedom from rules, spontaneity, solitary life rather then life in society, and the love of beauty and nature

Victor Hugo's phrase "liberalism in literature," meaning especially the freeing of the artist and writer from restrains and rules and suggesting that phase of individualism marked by the encouragement of revolutionary political ideas

sensibility; primitivism; love of nature; sympathetic interest in the past, especially the medieval; mysticism; individualism

Typical literary forms include the lyric, especially the love lyric, the reflective lyric, the nature lyric

You categorize poems on one criterion: intent. In other words, if you want to compose a love poem, feel free to borrow nature images (or whatever else) to express that love without worrying about what type of verse it is.

Here are a dozen common types of love poems: The Carpe Diem. In Latin, it means "seize the day." In love poetry, this idea has come to mean: "Act quickly on your romantic impulses, because life is short." The idea was best expressed by Robert Herrick in his immortal "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,“ whose first stanza reads:

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying....

The Complaint. This type of poem addresses another person who denies or in some way refuses to return feelings of love or affection. Here's an excerpt from "Song. To My Inconstant Mistress" by Thomas Carew:

Then shalt thou weep, entreat, complain To Love, as I did once to thee; When all thy tears shall be as vain As mine were then, for thou shalt be Damned for thy false apostasy.

Love Tribute. A love tribute is, simply, a celebratory poem dedicated to a lover, as this excerpt from a poem by Anne Bradstreet illustrates:

TO MY DEAR AND LOVING HUSBAND If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can..
