Intellectual Poetry Night In
A quiet and introspective date night, delving into the world of poetry, sharing thoughts, and possibilities of their own poetic creations.
- Imagine a calm autumn evening in September, the air outside just a little bit crisp. As an indoor activity, you and your partner can huddle up close on the couch, each with a book of poetry from your favorite authors. You can take turns reading your preferred pieces to each other. Discuss what you like about each piece; explore its meanings, the feelings it evokes. Lastly, attempt to create your own piece of poetry, dedicating it to each other.
- The idea may seem simple but it's about connecting through a shared experience. It's about learning and understanding your partner's perception about the diverse world of poetry. It's about sharing your own views. It's about creating something special and heartfelt for one another.
- Finish the night by reciting your creations to each other. Just picture the smiles, the laughs, the admiring gazes as you reveal your feelings through poetic expression. It's an intellectual and emotionally deeper date night, right at your cozy home in Kupiškis, Lithuania.
Preparation steps:
- Before the date night, each of you can select a book of poetry from your favourite authors. You can even take the time to select a few pieces that you would like to share with your partner. This requires some anticipation, as it isn't just about selecting the first piece you come to. Consider what themes your partner enjoys, or if there's something about the poet's style or message that will resonate with them.
- You might want to buy or borrow a poetry anthology that includes a variety of authors and styles. This will offer a more diverse reading experience. It's essential to plan ahead and make the necessary arrangements earlier in the day or even the previous day.
- Remember to set a cozy atmosphere at home. Clean and declutter the space where you're intending to have your date. Set the tone for the evening with some soft, ambient lighting - perhaps a few candles. If you have a fireplace, this would be the perfect time to light it.

Some tips:
- If you're not used to discussing poetry or literature, don't be intimidated. It's not about getting the 'correct' interpretation. It's about sharing and understanding how different people might perceive the same piece of work.
- You can make the evening even more special by preparing a hot beverage to enjoy. This could be tea, coffee, or cocoa, whatever you both prefer.
- Try to limit distractions during the date. Put away your smartphones, turn off the TV. This is about spending quality time together, connecting on an intellectual and emotional level. Remember to respect your partner's views and opinions, just as you expect them to respect yours. This date can be a great opportunity to learn more about each other.
