Want to see some samples?

There once was a fella named Doug

But his heart felt nary a tug

Till he met a tall blonde

and became quite fond

Now, mornings, his smiles are smug.

Is your heart overflowing with love?

Buy two poems and save.

here's another sample:

let's say you met on a Tuesday and your wife's name is Susan:

on an ordinary Tuesday
under a common old sky
something extraordinary
happened to an ordinary guy

There should have been fireworks
a ten-piece brass band
the world up-side-down
when I first held your hand.

Now, Susan, we live
an exceptional life
because you are with me,
my extraordinary wife.

 

I Love You

Say it louder with a unique poem or limerick

You've done flowers. Chocolates. Fancy dinners, maybe even sexy lingerie. If you want to do something really different this February 14th, give your love the gift of words. I will craft a poem or a limerick especially for you for as little as $9.99.

Let me be your Cyrano

So you're no poet. That doesn't have to ruin your love life. I've got all the right words to romance your true love, and you can even claim the work as your own. (Although lies aren't generally good for long-term relationships). Just send me some money and a few details and I'll deliver the goods.

You can also order a rhyme for a good friend, or someone else near to your heart. Be sure to specify what your relationship is to make the poem or limerick suitable. I'll send you the poem just as text, or you may choose to have it nicely laid out as a PDF file (printable by almost every computer).

Flowery or funny, place your order now!

Send me a little information about the subject: name, gender, hair and eye color, favorite activities, whatever pops into your mind. Think of it as writing a "Personals" ad for your significant other. Nothing naughty, please.

You have two choices: a limerick (a little funny, a little bawdy, five lines long) or a poem. Caution: the poem might be a little cheesy, but it will be at least two stanzas long and at the very least you'll get a smile from it.
