Romantic Portuguese Poetry Project

I’m putting together a small collection of original poems written in Portuguese that celebrate romance and overflow with passion. Each piece should feel intimate yet timeless—think tender confessions, lingering glances, and heart-pounding anticipation.

Scope
• 8–10 standalone poems, 12–24 lines each.
• Romantic tone is essential; every stanza must carry a clear current of passion.
• Light touches of fantasy or historical imagery are welcome if they heighten the emotion, but the heart of every poem should remain rooted in real, relatable feeling.

What I’ll provide
• A short prompt or mood board for each poem to guide atmosphere and key visuals.
• Quick feedback after the first two poems so you can lock in voice and rhythm.

What I need from you
• Polished final texts in Portuguese (no translation software; I’m looking for a naturally flowing poetic voice).
• A brief note beneath each poem explaining the central metaphor or image you chose.
• Delivery in a single Word or Google Docs file, clearly separated and titled.

Acceptance criteria
• Romantic theme and passionate undertone are unmistakable in every poem.
• Original work only—no AI-generated or recycled verses.
• Consistent meter, compelling word choice, and vivid sensory details.

If you have samples of previous romantic poetry, feel free to share a couple of excerpts so I can hear your style. Let’s make words that leave readers breathless.
