Our Product

Our service can answer a number of needs: it can provide the solution to those nightmare moments when you are called upon to say something in public; it can be a perfect gift; or it can simply capture those very special moments in your life for all time.

Every personal poem is begun with a simple sheet of paper, a fountain pen and the details you provide; from here Richard's skill and imagination will create a unique poem written for you (the picture at the top of this page is indeed Richard at work). Only when fully finished, will it be typed and absorbed into the world of modern technology as we email it across to you.

Your personal poem will be individually crafted in rhyming verse to suit the demands of the occasion. We are always sensitive to the mood and tone you wish to express and can master a range of styles from the serious to the romantic, the sentimental, the witty and the more broadly comic.

To make your poem truly personal, we shall of course need you to supply as much background material of your subject as possible, and the feelings you want to express. This will form the substance of the poem and the more you provide, the longer the poem can be. A rich fund of stories, anecdotes, personal mannerisms and habits, local and topical references will always guarantee a responsive audience when shaped and tailored into your own personalised poem.
