About Love 2000 AD

My love poetry project needed to have a title and what more appropriate title was there for the turn of the century, than the title, LOVE 2000 AD? I applied the copyright and obtained it.

I could type a bit, but not very well. I barely knew anything about computers, at that time. But I knew that I could write love poetry, so I continued to do just that. Since I was in an environment, where artwork was being reproduced with a scanner, computer and printer, I learned how to use all three.

It was slow going for me at first, because I am a visual learner. In other words, I have to see something visually, in order to understand it. Writing things down takes time, but that is how I learn.

I began to write love poetry, focusing on the the various pieces of artwork and photography, that were brought in for reproduction.

Then, I started going out to take photographs of local, historical sites. Writing poetry for them, involved researching the history behind each one of them. Gradually, I compiled my LOVE 2000 AD collection of poetry, written in conjunction with artwork and photography.

Writing custom poetry proved to be a bit of a challenge, but it was fun!

Every poem had a basic theme. Love.
