A love letter or platonic tribute is an extra-special present for a special day like Valentine's (or anytime, really)! But whether you are writing to your crush, your long-time boo, your BFF, or your mom, you might find that you get stuck on what to say.

Try this prompt to spark your imagination:

"You Bring Out the ____ in Me."

Who are you writing to? Do they inspire your bubbly laugh, your kind side, your courageous nature? When you're with them, do you feel calm, energized, delighted, joyful?

When you fill in that blank, there's the first line of your poem. Then keep going!

For extra inspiration, here's an example from one of our youth writers:

Your Magical Heart

By Isabela

You bring out the magic in me.

The words you say to me are a wonder to me.

You make me laugh, giggle, smile.

The music you play to my ears makes me a magnificent person.

The books you read make me feel inspired.

Are you a wizard, or do you just have a heart.

Don't forget, everyone is wonderful.

Never give up and do what your heart tells you.
