These classic love and relationships poems explore the full spectrum of human connections - from passionate romance to... Show more
Mother, Any Distance captures that nerve-wracking moment when you're ready to leave home but still need your mum's support. Armitage uses a tape measure as an extended metaphor for the unbreakable bond between mother and child - it stretches but never snaps. The poem's irregular structure (it's like a sonnet but with an extra line) mirrors the speaker's conflict between wanting independence and fearing the loss of security.
Sonnet 29 is Browning's passionate declaration to her future husband, using nature imagery to show how obsessive thoughts can actually hide the real person. Her extended metaphor of him as a strong tree and her thoughts as wild vines reveals how love can become overwhelming. The poem breaks sonnet conventions by placing the solution in the middle, showing her desperate urgency to be with him.
Walking Away explores the painful reality that loving someone sometimes means letting them go. Day Lewis watches his young son walk nervously towards his first football match, and eighteen years later, he's still affected by that image. The painful verbs like "wrenched" and "searing" show how much it hurts to watch your child become independent.
Quick Tip Notice how all three poems deal with different types of bonds - romantic, parent-child, and child-parent - but all explore the tension between closeness and independence.
Love's Philosophy is Shelley's clever attempt to chat someone up using nature as his wingman. He argues that since everything in nature comes together - mountains "kiss" heaven, rivers mingle with oceans - she should obviously get with him too. The religious imagery ("law divine") makes his argument seem God-ordained, though ironically Shelley was actually an atheist.
Before You Were Mine flips the typical parent-child relationship as Duffy imagines her mother's glamorous youth before motherhood changed everything. The possessive language ("mine", "my loud possessive yell") shows how children can own their parents' lives. There's a hint of guilt as she realises her birth ended her mother's exciting, independent life.
Singh Song! celebrates young love triumphing over family expectations and business responsibilities. The British-Indian speaker is so smitten with his new wife that he abandons the family shop to spend time with her. The blend of Indian and English in the language reflects his cultural identity, while the playful tone shows love making life more joyful.
Porphyria's Lover takes obsessive love to its darkest extreme. This dramatic monologue reveals a disturbed speaker who strangles his lover to preserve a perfect moment. The shifting power dynamics - first she's dominant, then he takes control - and the speaker's delusions make this a deeply unsettling exploration of possessive love.
Key Point These poems show love's spectrum from playful persuasion to dangerous obsession, demonstrating how passion can both elevate and destroy.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
