Funny Teenage Love Poems

This post on funny teenage love poems was inspired by an old poem I found that I wrote when I was a little bit older than a teenager, but was going through that same phase of feelings you get when you’re a teenager because I don’t know why, but I felt like these strange feelings of nervousness around the guy. Now though, I barely remember why I even wrote it in the first place.

I had a really supportive English teacher about my bad poetry, and so because we always had a class every week where we would write our own poems and share one with the class, I gave him a bunch of my poems and asked him to help me pick the right one to read out loud to the class.

This particular poem was one of them in the pile, and he said to me: “Dude, there is something wrong with you.”

So, maybe this is the right one to share under a category of funny poems about teenage love.

Suddenly

Suddenly,
I am fifteen
I am fifteen again
and I don’t know what to do with my arms
when your own are around mine

I would like to just chop them
off so I wouldn’t have to worry
about my arms getting in the way

but then you would not love me
how could you love me?
nobody would love a girl who chopped off
her own arms.

I would write more, but it’s hard to think of teenage love as funny – mostly its just miserably awkward for a lot of people. Though, looking back now, I suppose it is kind of funny. And I wonder sometimes if maybe my English teacher might have been right.

So, here’s your poem writing challenge for today: write funny teenage love poems. I’m sure you can think of something great!
