Key Word : Valentine Poem
Let’s face it. Love makes most people think “big” even when our pocketbooks are small. What begins as
a heartfelt love letter or valentine poem quickly transforms into a blimp in the sky and a five-string
quartet’s version of any Celine Dion song. Love just feels so big that we feel we need to match it with big
things. But what happens after the blimp runs out of gas and the fat lady starts to sing?
Writing a valentine poem is an excellent way to show just how big your love is.Written words have no
expiration date and can be cherished at any time.
Here are five ways to make your valentine poem memorable:
1. Stimulate the Senses
Researchers continue to stack information linking sounds, scents and memory. In fact, your brain
contains a built-in GPS system just for memories, called the hippocampus. The hippocampus begins
wrangling memories into the corral and pushing them out via scents and sounds. According to Jay
Gottfried of University College London, scent memories are the longest lasting. Handing over your
valentine poem with the sound of soft jazz and scented candles will better ensure that your valentine
never forgets your efforts. Hint: pumpkin pie has been isolated as a major aphrodisiac for men.
2. Aphrodisiacs
Speaking of aphrodisiacs, scent and sound are not the only memory makers in the corral. Taste does
wonders for creating memories. The zinc in oysters boosts the production of the male sex hormone,
testosterone. And of course there is a reason why chocolate is considered the food of lovers. The food is
loaded in phenethylamine, a substance that lifts endorphins and increases levels of serotonin, the feel
good chemical of the body. Your valentine poem will also go down smooth with red wine and
pomegranates, the fruit that is rumored to have been Aphrodite’s main “squeeze. “
3. Keep the surprises coming
Thoughtfully timed surprises create a wave of romance that keeps your valentine on cloud nine. These
surprises don’t have to be monetary based. Ideas include: bundling up your valentine for a nighttime
picnic under the stars, placing little love notes in various places throughout the house and creating a
meal where every course is eaten in a different location. Get creative. The goal here is to set a sensual
stage for reading or handing over the valentine poem you have written.
4. Spontaneity
Not every aspect of your Valentine’s Day needs to be scripted. Allow moments for inspiration and
wandering off the beaten path also. One option for handing over your valentine poem is to write down a
handful of things you know your valentine would love to do, things they have never done before or hints
