The Power of the Positive in Contemporary Love Poetry

In every era of contemporary love poetry including the present one, the power of the positive is apparent. While not all contemporary love poetry is positive in nature, it should be noted that a great deal of it is written in a way that is extremely positive in its outlook, or its perspective on life.

It is also apparent that many contemporary love poets have a strong, positive attitude with respect to their own poetic works, as well as towards others and their lives in general. (Of course, there are other contemporary love poets of whom the same cannot be said.)

Perhaps one of the reasons that contemporary love poetry is so positive has to do with its source. Love, by its very nature, is positive (even though there are invariably aspects of non-love to be found also).

The positive aspect of love inspires the contemporary love poet to continue to write contemporary love poetry. The influence of the muse of the contemporary love poet is positive enough to motivate him or her to act in terms of expressing him or herself poetically. The basic quest for truth also serves as a powerful, positive trigger for motivating a contemporary love poet.

Contemporary love poetry critics and readers are often drawn to the power of the positive, as revealed in contemporary love poetry, which invites them to make further inquiry, or to read on, simply because what they are critiquing or reading is pleasing to them.

Some of the most powerful positive statements in contemporary love poetry appear to be of divine origin, as opposed to an expression of mere human thoughts and feeling. One cannot underestimate the positive aspect of life that is found in nature as well, also something to which all of humankind can relate in a powerful way. The positive in nature invariably exceeds its opposite as well, like the light of day follows the darkness of night.

One of the reasons why contemporary love poetry continues on from era to era, has to do with the ongoing quest for human enlightenment.

If contemporary love poets did not write contemporary love poetry in a positive light, it would not survive the test of time and even the art of contemporary writing itself, would not survive. The contrast between the positive and the negative in contemporary love poetry creates a healthy  balance.

One cannot ignore or negate the power of positive words, expressions and phrases in human communication found in contemporary love poetry.

There is also a strong emphasis on powerful, positive emotional elements found in contemporary love poetry. A degree of stability is realized in humankind, simply because people can relate effectively to positive emotional elements in contemporary love poetry.

The literary realm is enhanced by the power of the positive expressed in contemporary love poetry, as well as in other literary, artistic forms. The positive has a voice that speaks with power and compels the human heart to awaken, listen and respond.

There is nothing quite as potent or powerful as romantic love expressed by contemporary love poets in contemporary love poetry, from era to era. It is timeless in nature and never loses its appeal. Courtship is invariably a powerful, positive, ever moving force that binds one human being to another.

Globally, humankind showing compassion for fellow man and thereby demonstrating love of one another in the light of the divine, is a strong, positive power that cannot be quenched. Its expression by contemporary love poets in their contemporary love poetry is destined to continue from era to era.
