Humorous Love Poems

Peculiar Poetry has separate sections devoted to Paul Curtis's funny love poems and his humorous love poems. Confusing, isn't it? Where a poem ends up depends on its intent - funny love poems are first and foremost funny poems which contain a romantic element, whereas the humorous love poems are love poems which executed with a lightness of touch or twist which may bring a wry smile to your face.

Beneath The Clock

An evening pregnant with possibility begins with a couple meeting for a blind date and ends with a terrible miscarriage of justice.

On His Deathbed

A darkly humorous poem about deathbed confessions of infidelity and worse...

Another

A funny poem in which the protagonist contemplates his approaching twenty fifth wedding anniversary and looks back over his years of marriage. This would be an ideal poem to read at a silver wedding celebration if you were certain either that the marriage was absolutely solid or that one of the parties had already commenced divorce proceeding.

First Christmas

An humorous and gently erotic love poem which describes a husband's feelings of anticipation at spending his first Christmas with his new wife.

Scattered to Shattered
