i am

i am the girl
who walked city streets in the autumn

Rebel I Love You: The Anonymous Love Poetry Project

This blog is for anonymous love poems from people of the kind I used to write when I was in high school and on fire with hopeless crushes. I wanted to make a place where people could put the things they thought would make them blow up if they ever let anyone see them. This is also just how I think you should try and write. You should have that sense of what's at stake. If you send me your anonymous love poems to publish on this site, I will. The submissions remain anonymous. If you're too shy to even send them to me directly, go get a free email and obscure your identity or have a friend send them. But, send them. Please send them to me at emperor (a) rebeliloveyou.com Thanks.
