Summary: Love Love Love - NOT!!!!
Review: Love is lovely love is loving lovely is taking love is giving - I made that last poem up by myself. I do not recommend this book unless you are a hardcore danielle steel fan and then of course I recommend every ot her book by her for your collection. I found the poems to be light and tright and not out of sight and not at all full of delight. IF you are searching for good amorous poetry might I suggest Elizabeth Barret Browning or perhaps Pablo Neruda. This is a book that one might want to access if one cannot find a hallmark card good enough for one's significant other. I don't want to be harsh...but lets not call this poetry.

Summary: Worse Verse Was Never Written--Ever--Promise!!!
Review: This book is, quite possibly and with little exaggeration, the worst book of poetry ever published. If you are a fan of very bad poetry, I recommend this with all of my heart. You will chuckle until your sides ache at this insipid piece of barely rhymed fluff. It isn't that the subject matter is what is objected to, heck, Byron, Keates and Shelley all wrote pages and pages about love and romance and the warm fuzzy feelings you get when that special someone looks your way. But Danielle Steele wins the prize for writing a book of poetry without really knowing what a poem is (or how one is written). Even at the outer edges of the definition of "poem," you will not find any justification for what is perpetrated here. They wouldn't even print this junk in a Hallmark card it is so bad. Go dig up a love poem you wrote for some guy or girl you liked in the third grade--Read it--Note how horrible it is and how embarrassed you would be to have it read in public today--Then don't sweat it--Because it was probably no worse and possibly much better than any poem in Steel's "Love." Another favorite poetry book of mine, "Very Bad Poetry" edited by Kathryn and Ross Petras, purports to contain the worst poem ever written in the English language. And it does. An absolute stinker. But many of the poems in Danielle Steel's "Love" book come awfully, awfully close.
