Declare your love for your girlfriend, spouse or even your mum by recording yourself reciting a poem to go on The Times Love Wall!

Need inspiration? The Times has published a special issue of 30 romantic poems to get you in the mood; read them at thetimes.co.uk/lovepoems (please make sure the poem you read is out of copyright, we have marked them on the website). Or of course, you can record a poem of your own creation!

You can either record it here on Audioboo or on our website - and please begin the message by stating your name and who the message is for. From Tuesday, your Valentine will be able to hear your recording on The Times Love Wall; all you have to do is check thetimes.co.uk/lovewall on Valentine’s Day, then send your loved one a link. All recordings will be subject to moderation.

The Times Love Poetry special is appearing in conjunction with the iF poems app, Britain’s first children’s poetry app where you can read, listen to, record and share your favourite poems from a collection of more than 200 classics. A donation of 10 per cent of all proceeds from sales of the app (£1.99 for iPhone, £2.99 for iPad) will go to Save the Children.

This Week is a weekly News and Current Affairs programme Broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 at 13.00 each Sunday afternoon.
