For any anniversary whether it be for a friend, family member or partner the first thing you will need to purchase is a card. Although most cards will contain anniversary verses you may find it a struggle to find one suitable for the person in mind.

There are several paths you could take when trying to find suitable anniversary verses.

You may decide to write your own or even enlist the help of a poet that offers creating unique anniversary verses just for you.

If you do decide to write your own and you have never attempted this sort of thing before, it is well worth having a look around for some examples and ideas to help you along the way.

Some examples of anniversary verses would be:-

Ten years, one decade,

three thousand, 652 days.

After all this time I love you so,

and I love you in so many different ways.

My love is unconditional,

so unlike the setting sun,

because my heart will shine forever,

for me, you’ll always be the one.

The anniversary verses you choose or use as a guidance will of course be effected by the year, for example if you are trying to write anniversary verses for a first anniversary you may want something along the lines of

Happy Anniversary honey,

it’s been one year since I happily said yes,

it’s been a year full of joy and love,

a year full of pure happiness.

I ‘m so glad to be called your wife,

and share our remaining years together,

I want to walk across our universe arm-in-arm,

I want to be with you forever and ever.

If the anniversary poem or the verses you are looking for are for your parents, now is a good time to thank them for all they have done and tell them how much you care. An example of this would be

You have always been there for us,

have taught us right from wrong,

have taught us God’s word,

have taught us his song.

You are very special parents,

and could never have been cursed,

you’ve had five beautiful children,

and have always put them first.

But you have big and generous hearts,

and you are so unselfish and giving,

you make the world a better place,

you make life itself worth living.

And now I have my memories,

and my heart silently soars,

because my friends used to say:

“I wish I had parents like yours”

I would like to thank God,

because we have been truly blessed.

There is no other way of putting it:

You are simply the best !

Finding suitable anniversary verses may seem like a hard task but poetry is accessible via the internet as well as in books. The most important thing to remember is to choose something that is personal and will move the person who is reading it.

I’ve been searching forever and I can’t seem to find one, and I need to write an essay on it this weekend! I have to use it to compare it to the theme of the book Catch-22.
The theme in Catch-22 that I want the poem to parallel is either the inevitability of death or the struggle to stay alive. The storyline does not have to be the same.

Creative Writing Tips –

For a theme to work and the story, which will revolve around the theme, it has to contain three things…

1. Character

2. Conflict

3. Resolution

What’s the reason for this?

If your theme doesn’t contain these three essential elements, then you won’t be writing a proper short story. It might turn out to be an essay instead.

Because without…

1) Characters

You can’t achieve emotional depth. Readers become engrossed in stories because of the characters in them. They either become the character (sympathize), or read about an interesting person (empathize).

Emotional depth is achieved when readers use their imagination and senses and/or experiences to live the story through the characters.

2) Conflict

Your story will be boring. Why? Without conflict, something to stir things up, nothing happens. And a story, in which nothing happens, is one not worth writing about.

Your characters don’t lead carefree lives. Well, not in the instance you are writing about them. In that part of their lives they are faced with a problem. They want something and can’t get it because of the conflict, which is preventing them to do so.

And it’s that conflict and the struggle the characters has to undergo that keeps us readers interested and in suspense. Will the character succeed or won’t he? And when is this all going to happen? And how is it all going to happen?

3) Resolution

Something that starts has to finish, one way or another.

Once you have created great characters, which the reader will come to care about, and you have placed them in conflict, that conflict at the end of your story has to be resolved. The characters will achieve their goals or they won’t.

That doesn’t matter.

You can end your story as you please and as it suits your story – but you have to end it. Ending the story means resolving the conflict.

Does your theme contain character, conflict, resolution?

Eight Ways To Write Better Instantly

Is it possible to improve your writing instantly? The answer, happily, is “yes.”

While researching a book on famous speeches and essays, I found eight easily correctable mistakes writers often make. Here they are…and how to correct them instantly.

1. UNFOCUSED SUBJECT – Focus on a single theme only. Every sentence and paragraph should reinforce that topic.

2. TOO LONG – Abraham Lincoln crafted his Gettysburg Address in less than 300 words. Unless I’m specifically asked to do otherwise, I try to condense my work to one double-spaced single page (about 250 words).

3. WEAK PREMISE – Can you state the major focus of your message in 20 words or less?

4. NO ATTENTION-GRABBER – The first sentence or two must quickly attract the reader. Two ways to do this: (a) ask a question or (b) reveal a discovery.

5. UNLINKED PARAGRAPHS – Each paragraph should logically lead to the next. One way some writers do this: (a) quickly write several paragraphs on a subject; ((b) prioritize them; (c) present them in descending order from most important to least important; (d) conclude by restating the two or three most important points.

6. PASSIVE VERBS – Passive verbs like is, am, was, and were simply exist. Action verbs run, jump, excite, and motivate.

7. BORE FACTOR – Some research says the average adult attention span is only eight seconds. So it’s important to make your points convincingly, and end your paper powerfully.

8. WEAK ENDING – Exit your report like an experienced stage performer…leave your audience wanting more. Two ways to do this: (a) use a famous quote to reinforce your conclusion, or (b) give details showing the reader where to get more information on the subject. (Examples: your phone, fax, e-mail, etc.)

Basically, it’s like a fictional biography. This is the life of a girl about 8 years old in 1921 about. She’s 20 when she gets separated from her family and gets sent to a concentration camp and her struggle to escape and survive. How was life like in the 1920’s for people in Yugoslavia and that area. Any websites I can find research on. Thanks
