Poet for Hire
You supply the sentiments; I’ll supply the verse.
I can share the best of you or I can show your worse.
A poem for all occasions; one that comes right from you heart.
I’d like to write a poem for you. Here is where you start!
Tell me who the poem is for; what thoughts you’d like to say.
I can make it warm or cold; you will choose which way.
You want to tug at heartstrings; great! For me that's not a task.
You want to send an insult; I will do it as you ask!
A happy message; angry message, sad or full of love!
I can write you anyone or all of those above.
No challenge is beyond me as I set your feelings free.
You can bring an angel or the devil out in me.
A few examples you might chose from; you pick your occasion!
A birthday wish! A funeral poem! A child’s graduation!
A wedding rhyme! A farewell note! An anniversary!
Tell me who the poem is for and what’s it going to be!
Don’t forget the boss you like; perhaps a mate your liking.
Or maybe there’s a message that you want to send that’s striking.
To make that first impression with it’s sentiments from you!
I put your words in meter and I rhyme them as I do!
Let’s not forget the dreaded boss who makes your life so dreary.
Perhaps the cheating spouse or mate who needs to hear your fury!
The cop or judge who angered you with something they call justice!
Let’s exercise our right to speak! I dare they try to bust us!
I’ll make your message loud and clear to anyone who needs it.
You’ll leave a deep impression on each one who ever reads it!
My fee’s completely up to you. You pay me what is fair!
I’ll trust you for your payment yet the poem is yours to share.
So please, I need the work and Heaven knows I need the money.
I can make a poem for you, that’s serious or funny!
Write your story; share your heart. Let’s get this rhyming going.
You will love the side of you that you’ve had trouble showing.
And you will have an impact like you’ve never had before.
You’ll make the point you wished to make, and then a little more.
I guarantee you’ll have success at what your words desire.
You’ll touch the one you want to touch by putting me to hire.
