“Knowledge of contrast, feeling for light and shade, all that information (primitive sense) necessary for a poem.” -John Keats
What I do is write custom, handmade poetry for all occasions. Give me a word, or a few details, and within a few minutes I will produce a unique poem on a manual typewriter that’s ready to be framed as a special keepsake or gift. Perfect for wedding events, holiday parties, or a last-minute gift idea for that special someone. I do commissions and all kinds of gatherings.
