- Imagine surprising your significant other by taking them to a local poetry reading at a cozy cafรฉ in Saint Petersburg. As you both sit close, sipping on your coffees, you both are entranced by the expressions of various poets. Words encapsulating love, life, and the depth of human experience resonate around you, creating an emotionally intimate environment.

- The evening is not over yet, surprise your love by presenting them a poem that you've written just for them. It could be about your feelings, an memorable experience you both shared, or perhaps even something inspired by Saint Petersburg and its rich culture. This surprise will create a profound emotional impact and enhance the warmth of your bond.
- As the night lingers on, talk about your respective favorite poets and poetry books. Discover shared interests or explore unfamiliar poets that your partner loves. This leads to the sharing of more about individual and shared literary tastes, creating a wonderful environment of mutual understanding and appreciation of each other's abyss of depth.
Preparation steps:
- Start by researching where and when local poetry readings are taking place in Saint Petersburg. Usually, local cafรฉs or bookstores host such events. Do confirm if the reading is being done in a language both you and your partner understand. Choose a venue that complements your prefered aesthetic and mood for the evening, preferably a cozy, quiet place where you can hear and engage with the poetry.
- In terms of transport, a good choice would be to take a local taxi or a stroll through the city if your chosen venue isn't too far. The walk will add a refreshing touch before the immersive poetic experience. Keep an eye on the weather though, and opt for a taxi if it's too windy or forecasted to rain.
- The surprise poem for your partner should be written in advance. Donโt worry about mastery as this is not a test of your poetic prowess. It's an opportunity for you to express your heartfelt feelings through the written word. Present it at the end of the readings to conclude this wonderful and artistic evening.
