Indigo Williams, a poet and performance artist from London, has teamed up with Zoosk to create these helpful tips to be more romantic with poetry, enjoy!

1. Put a new twist on the old love letter

Record your own love poem using the Dictaphone on you smartphone, transfer it onto a CD or USB using your computer and send it in the post.

2. Create your own e-book of favorite love poems

There are tons of free online apps that let you upload a Word or PowerPoint document to create an online e-book, like Yudu and DocStoc, which you can then send onto to your love interest.

3. Mixtape of Spoken Word love poems

We’ve all heard of a mixtape of love songs that you give to a love interest, but why not try making a mixtape of Spoken Word love poems.

4. Send a quick voice note or electronic card with a haiku

Remember, a Haiku is usually written in three short lines, sometimes even just a single line. It should convey a feeling or an image.

5. Turn a favourite poetic line into a Gif and send it in an email

What line best sums up the way you feel about that special someone? If it’s important to you, turn it into a visual representation using your PC and send it on.
