I am working hard on a new range of products to, hopefully, enhance my services. I won't say more than that at the moment but I hope they will be a welcome addition.
Watch this space for the announcements!

I have just finished work on a very interesting project. A customer approached me with a piece of text that had originally been written in Turkish. She asked if I would be able to 'poetize' her translation into a personlised poem that she could read at her wedding.
I really enjoyed working on this piece and am exceptionally proud of the result. The customer was equally impressed and even remarked that parts of my poem were better than the original. I was very touched to hear this.

The internet, though I have been using it for over a decade now, still has secrets that elude me. I need to find out how Google rankings work. I seem to be ranked quite well considering I have had no help in this area, but I would like to understand it better in an effort to better my position. There is a wealth of information out there; It's just finding the right bits. Ah well, happy googling!
Even so, seeing I WANT A POEM anywhere is a real buzz. I am thrilled that so many people are enjoying my peronalised poems.
I feel I offer a personal service with a very unique selling point and so far my feedback has been resounding. I really do appreciate all the time people take to let me know their feelings.
So, personalised service for a personalised poem. Makes sense!
Thanks once again to all my wonderful customers. I truly value each and every one of you.

This has to be one of my most asked questions. So I thought I would put together a little bit of information myself on what I need from a customer to create a poem.

First things first; The occasion you need a poem for, the recipient and also who the poem is to be from.
Then after that, anything goes. What I would say however, is not to include any information that you WOULD NOT want to include in the poem. Even little details - if you have told me about it, I presume you want it included!
Good things to include are special memories, times, places etc.
Remember....................the more information I have, the more personal your poem will be!

Recent commissions include a Fairytale Wedding Poem, Happy 80th Birthday Mother Poem, Retro Wedding Reception Poem, Brother's 30th Birthday Poem and Best Wishes for a Special Couple getting married.

If you have any specific style or theme you would like me to incorporate, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my very best to ensure it's perfect for your special moment!

I was very excited to see my website mentioned in Wedding Ideas magazine when I was in WH Smith the other day. Page 112 to be precise, the August Issue. There is an image and a link to my website, on the subject of personalised poems to remember loved ones. One of my friends has her picture in there(the magazine) too. All seems very surreal but I do feel that I have worked extremely hard this year on my business and it is such a satisfying feeling. Seeing it mentioned in print validates it even more somehow.
I have got some new ideas in the pipeline and some changes to the way my system works, but for now, I am very happy with the way things are going.
http://www.iwantapoem.com is now live and redirecting my customers to the .co.uk address.
Thanks once again to my wonderful customers. It's been a pleasure to work with each and every one of you.

Incidentally, I had an email from one particularly lovely customer who just wanted me know how her poem had been received. I was very touched that she had taken the time to write to me and also that her recipient had been overwhelmed. Apparently, the poem was somewhat of a talking point and I feel honoured to have played a part in touching someone's life on such a special day.

Received my copy of Wedding Ideas Magazine through the post today - my second advert is out yay!! It is really nice to see it and feels very official.
I would like to sincerely thank all my customers for their support in this developing time of my business. And for all the lovely feedback and comments I am truly grateful. It is so nice to hear positive thoughts about my work.
Had a slight technical hitch over the weekend though. For some reason my BUY form on the BUY PAGE and guestbook stopped working meaning I could not take any orders. Luckily my husband had been onto my site to show a friend of his what I do, as if he hadn't I would not have been aware that there was a problem - I thought it was just a quiet weekend as I was still  receiving emails. So a lesson learnt - check your site regularly!

Have set up a Facebook Fan page for I WANT A POEM. I hope all my lovely customers will sign themselves up as fans - eeeks I hope I do have some fans - only time will tell lol!

After much to-ing and fro-ing between myself and the advertising bods at Wedding Ideas Magazine, I finally have an advert that I am happy to see go in a magazine. All seems a bit surreal thinking that this little website I set up is going to be advertising in a real live magazine. But I can't wait to see it - you have no idea how excited I am about all of this. It feels like I am living a dream, as for so long I have wanted to do something with my skills, but never had the confidence, but now thanks to my hubby and a wonderful group of ladies, here I am doing it and I couldn't be happier! Well, of course I  COULD be happier, say when I make my first million :-p but until then, I am really very grateful for this wonderful opportunity to touch so many people's lives. Hopefully this ad will allow me to reach even more people! Don't forget to tell a friend!!

Wondering whether I should consider some formal advertising. Getting fairly good trade through word of mouth alone but would like to make it a little bigger. I want EVERYONE to have had a poem written for them by Amy! Hmmmmmm..............

I'm hoping today is the day.   more »
