Madonna is putting the strain of divorce behind her as she plays pen pals with rumoured love Alex Rodriguez.

The queen of pop is said to be pencilling A-Rod into her schedule with some old fashioned love letters and poetry.

A source tells the Chicago Sun-Times that Madonna refers to the New York Yankee as having "the heart of a poet trapped inside an insanely gorgeous body."

And if the reports are true it could mean Madonna has moved on before the ink on her divorce papers has even dried.

Meanwhile Guy Ritchie has been begrudgingly following rules from Madge which enable him to spend quality time with their children.  

The singer's rep had no comment about a blossoming romance with A-Rod.
