do you think poetries are oversentimental?

I think it can be a nice thing if you cant really afford presents. Plus there is obvious effort in it. I would certainly be over the moon if my fella made the effort to write something for me. I did once right a poem for my first love during our time together. It was about not being together as i was lonely at the time of writing it. I hope you don't mind but i will post it up. (i wrote it when i was 15 so its a little pain) Picture on the wall. I look upon the wall and stare deep into you eyes In the hope that when i turn around, Ill find a sweet suprise A suprise that fills the room with love and my heart so full of joy For you to be there open armed, there, stands my perfect boy. But when i turn, An empty door way, as hollow as my heart. "where is my prince?" I cry out loud, Hoping you'd here my call But all i have, for now anyway, Is you picture on my wall.

Poems are not oversentimental at all. I think they are a very personal expression and can only be truly enjoyed by the person for whom they are intended.
