Another week over, and now for our delight
The X Factor contestants perform for Week 4's Rock night.
Joe has the voice of an angel, but that did not stop him
And he was the first of the acts to set our stage a'rocking.

Lucie Jones was next up with a Guns 'n' Roses hit
And I felt she was amazing, personifying a real Rock Chick.
Danyl seemed to have lost his sparkle, and struggled to keep in tune;
Perhaps he feels a little dejected after having been in the bottom two.

Next up the teenage heart-throb, part of Cheryl Cole's boy team.
Lloyd sang Katy Perry to satisfy millions of teenage girls dreams.
The next act who would be attempting to pull off more rock 'n' roll hits
Was the lovely Stacey Solomon, our very own Dagenham Ditz.

Just like Lloyd before her, it wasn't really rock
But she still got a massive round of applause, which isn't much of a shock.
Simon seemed exceptionally pleased that she had managed to sing and walk
But above all else we love Stacey, because she's hilarious when she talks.

This week for made for Jamie, I think you must agree
As he'd rocked his socks off Honey, in the style of Primal Scream.
The judges began to bicker, but at the end of the day
It's our votes that are important so it doesn't matter what they say.

Rachel Adedeiji was the next to sing and chose One by U2
And I am certain with that performance, this week she'll escape the bottom two.
That can only mean one thing with one group act left to go!
It's time to bring out the terrible twins for the John and Edward Show.

They said that they would rock us, trying to give us Queen
And they are certainly the scariest act which is apt for Halloween.
So almost at the conclusion, with just one more act to go
And cheeky little Olly Murs is coming up to close the show.

He pulled everything together so "Come together" proved to be a great choice
And I enjoyed him ripping his shirt open almost as much as the sound of his voice.
So now we have to wait twenty four hours to find out who will go
And the phone numbers you need for voting, can now be found below.

So, glad to have Louis back after his personal grief and strife
And I'm sure he welcomed the performance from his Irish pals, Westlife.
Another judge was celebrating as she had achieved her goal;
Fight For This Love is a well deserved Number One for the lovely Cheryl Cole.

This weeks celebrity mentor is an international star in every way
And we were treated to Cry Me A River by the fabulous Michael Buble.
A brief intermission followed for more advertorial breaks;
Who'll be in the bottom two? I hope it's Jedward for all of our sakes.

8 Acts will definitely go through to next weeks show;
And Stacey Solomon was the first that Dermot let know
Then Olly and Rachel followed by Joe and Lucie Jones
And I think that John and Edward are using magic on the phones.

How did they get through again? It's fast becoming a joke
This show is all about talent, although what they have is bespoke.
I'm not sure who'd buy their singles as they don't seem to be able to sing
But if it carries on like this, I have a bad feeling they might win.

Jamie Archer was the seventh and there there were just three;
Lloyd, Miss Frank and Danyl, who would the last saved one be?
Lloyd smiled his way to victory (he had his backflip to thank)
So in the bottom two, that left Danyl and Miss Frank.

The ladies sang again first, trying their best to sound strong
Before Danyl reignited the audience with his first audition song.
For one of these two acts, the X Factor journey was about to End
And Danyl made it through deadlock with a little help from his friends!

It's so long to the band that first auditioned individually alone
And now on week three, Miss Frank are on their way home.
This has been a fabulous experience for the three of them to bank;
So my most sincere commiserations go the marvellous Miss Frank.

It's X Factor time and what treats have been planned?
All of the acts will be performing with a fabulous big band.
They're singing for survival, hoping for votes from you and me
So turn onto ITV1 and get ready for the X Factor Live Shows week 3!

Welcome back to Louis, great to have you back again
As without your cheeky Irish charm, the show is not the same.
Simon's team kicked off the show, with Olly singing Bewitched;
A wonderful performance which he pulled off without a hitch!

Lloyd flew us to the moon, which wouldn't have been Simon's choice
But the audience seemed to like it and I thought it suited his voice.
The judges gave their opinions, and seemed to be somewhat split
After Lloyd showed us his fun side by doing a wonderful back flip!

Next came Miss Frank, looking rather foxy in black
Adding a nice hint of rap to their Frank Sinatra track.
I wish I'd been the audience, as musically, this evening, it sounds sweet
And Miss Frank with That's Life, is so far my favourite performance this week.

Pyrotechnics galore as Rachel took the Mic
And at last she pulled off a performance that all the judges liked.
Rachel rushed to hug her mentor and declared it her best day ever;
What a transformation! She has really got it together!

After a last minute decision, Jamie had only had 24 hours
To get a grip of his song choice and demonstrate his vocal powers.
It seemed to be slightly lack lustre and a bit of his sparkle has gone
But the true highlight for me was the Louis Impression by Simon.

Next being described at Cinderella , it was Stacey who stole the show
For me, I think Big Band Week, has given her a magical glow.
Looking absolutely sensational and reaching some beautiful notes
This week, I think Stacey Solomon, will be getting a lot of votes.

The instrumental was amazing as Danyl was feeling good
And he absolutely smashed it, just as we knew he could.
Another amazing performance and the judges showered him with praise.
Simon was smiling knowingly; He knew the bar had officially been raised.

The next act truly showed us how a Big Band Act should go.
His smooth voice wowed the audience and I was very impressed with Joe.
Sway, we certainly did as he wonderfully executed his choice.
This likely lad from the North East really has an amazing voice!

Lucie Jones came next and Cheryl, Louis and Danni toasted her success
Yet Simon Cowell made a comment about her singing it like an actress.
I think her voice is lovely and she'll have won a vote or two;
Just one more act to go, then the voting lines will open for you.

They saved the two horrors for last. Isn't it time that they were gone?
A dubious performance ensued from the terrible twins Edward and John.
I'm not sure Ricky Martin actually classes as a Big Band Act
But these two are skating on thin ice and that is a true X Factor fact!

So another week is over, and now to the public the choice goes
The numbers you need for voting, can now be found below.
So go on then, grab your telephone. What are you waiting for?
Vote NOW for the act you want to see on The X Factor Live Shows Week 4!

View Article  X Factor Live Shows WEEK 2 Results Show
I've been looking forward to Cheryl's performance all week
And she didn't let us down! I was impressed with her break beat.
Her dancing was amazing and she really looked at home
And though we know her best from Girl's Aloud, she still does well alone.

What a start to the live results show - it was as good as can be
And we still have to look forward to the performance from Whitney!
With the next break over and the phone lines closed
Dermot will announce the result! The public's feeling exposed!

Whitney looked sensational in a long length silver dress;
She suffered a wardrobe malfunction and perhaps has passed her best.
More ads on their way and at last the announcement of the results can begin!
Who'll be in the bottom two? I am hoping it will be the Twins.

The first act to get through was Olly followed by Miss Frank
Then came lovely Joe and they all had their performances to thank.
Danyl also went through as his performance was supreme
Then Lucie also got chosen to continue her X Factor dream.

Jamie Afro Archer was the sixth person to go through
Then Stacey took her place, and that's all thanks to me and you.
Lloyd was certain to go through and then the Twins went too, to my shock
So it was left Rikki and Rachel to face this weeks deadlock.

Rachel sung "With or Without You" and she has already been here before;
Then Rikki sung "Flying Without Wings" which I enjoyed a whole lot more.
Which way will the judges go, can Rachel's luck last one more time
The judges are giving there opinions; Wonder if they'll mirror mine?

One vote from Danni for Rikki and Rachel had a vote from Ms Cole
But Simon has the casting vote, and it's his show on the whole.
He chose to send home Rikki, which was a bit of a surprise to me
And Rachel gets to sing another day - so here is to Week three!

I was truly so pleased to hear Cheryl expressing her rage
At the fact John and Edward get to return to this stage!
Perhaps now this Twin fad will finish and officially be over;
Vote to get out the twins by the end of October!

How the John and Edward got through I will never understand
And I dread to think what they will sing next week on Big Band.
The competition is judged on talent and they clearly have none;
Fingers crossed everybody, that next week they will be gone!

If you missed the Saturday night show, or just need a recap, you can find it here - X Factor Week 2 Live Show Breakdown.

View Article  X Factor Live Shows WEEK 2
As the start credits rolled, I knew I was in for a treat
Listening to these 11 contestants perform for Diva's Week.
Week one is over and new songs have been rehearsed;
A great start to the show as Lucie Jones was up first.

Olly Murs came second and executed what he had planned
Then next up the fabulous Miss Frank; My very favourite band.
Simon was quite scathing but Cheryl was there to save the day
She stood up for these ladies, as Louis Walsh is still away.

Rachel Adedeji, was first up after the ads
And she belted out Beyonce and gave it everything she had.
Next came Joe from the North East, who has to be my favourite boy
And his rendition of  "Where do broken hearts go?" was one I really did enjoy.

Another advert break and then Danyl took the stage;
He wanted to show a different side and set his mark upon the page.
Simon smiled on proudly and the audience cheered and cheered
From a risky Whitney song choice, a true Diva did appear!

Yet another ad break, so I slipped off to make some tea
To avoid watching the advert with Ant and Dec on the Nintendo Wii.
I knew that the next part would see a take on a Leona song;
Perhaps another risky song choice where so much could go wrong.

A 16 year old boy, Lloyd was determined to give it a go
And despite his "bleeding love" his talent had a chance to show.
Cheryl was moved to tears as Simon's reaction was not good
So she took full responsibility, which as his mentor, of course she should!

I didn't know whether to carry on watching as the next act did begin;
I wasn't looking forward to a performance from the nation's favourite twins.
"Ooops I did it again", should be their motto, you must agree;
Will the red pvc suits save them and allow them to come back for X Factor Week 3?

I was glad for the next adverts so I could regain my composure.
What act would be up next for their Week 2 exposure?
8 acts have been on and few moments have been sticky
So I was pinning all my hopes on this next performance from Rikki.

Aretha Franklin, for Mr Loney was somewhat a brave choice
And Simon voiced my opinion, in that it was too big for his voice.
Next up came Jamie Afro, our own X Factor rocker;
He pulled off Christina's "Hurt", in a new Diva shocker!

I can't believe how quickly the programme seems to go
And up last but not least, was Stacey, who came to close the show.
She didn't sound overly hopeful that the words would be flowing free
But she did a great job and her performance was as good as can be.

Simon's opinion was met with a round of boos
But ultimately it's not up to him, it's up to me and you.
To vote to save your favourite act you need to pick up the phone;
It's the one thing you can do whilst you are sitting comfortably at home.

So with a week that saw Whitney Houston take the time to coach them all,
The numbers you need for voting are below, waiting for you to call.
It's time for you to start thinking about who your winner might be
And more importantly who you would like to see in the X Factor Live Shows Week 3!

View Article  Birthday Poem for Davina McCall
Today is a special day for one who is loved by all
And that wonderful individual is the fabulous Davina McCall.
Birthdays are a reflective time, so let's look back at your life
And all the things you have achieved, as Presenter and Mother and Wife.

Your lucky Husband Matthew, truly got a wonderful catch
As he took you as his Streetmate; His perfect loving match.
The smile that you display shows how much you love each other
And together you worked on your next project as you became Big Mutha.

Your children adore you; You're so lovely and jolly
And you always do your best for Chester, Milly and Holly.
You are a natural Mummy and it suits you it seems
And I am also impressed that you're a Homebirther Supreme!

You also showed your colours as the foxiest woman alive
As you interviewed in your bikini, on Big Brother 2005.
I remember smiling proudly as your public were surprised;
Women all want to be you and the men are mesmerized.

You've had so much variation over your working years,
Think back to Popstars the Rivals; You helped to launch Girls Aloud's Career!
Comic Relief is also a cause that we relate to you;
One of your finest moments was the cheeky snog with Doctor Who.

We're so glad you you truly put your heart and soul into all;
No other presenter matches up to Davina McCall.
There clearly is nothing that you cannot do
And you look absolutely amazing, today turning 42.

You were born in '67 on the 16th of October
So now your year of being 41 is officially over
Look forward to future and all it has in store
And I hope your Birthday brings you all you want and more.

I hope that you are being spoilt today as you deserve to be
With lots of cards and presents from your friends and family.
But what do you get for the woman who truly has it all?
I know, a personalised poem dedicated to the lovely Davina McCall.

You were live on Big Brother, (so please do not swear)
And Garnier saw your beauty, and your mahogany chesnut hair.
I'd like to say "You're worth it!" and everyone agrees it's true
So it's an honour, dear Davina, to say Happy 42nd Birthday to you.

Davina has always been a favourite of mine as she is a fabulous lady all round and also is a fan of homebirth, just like me. So it's a true honour to wish her a very happy birthday today with a personalised poem.

Hope you have a great day Davina!

So after what has been a high drama filled week
It's time for the voting; Public get to speak.
Though the word on the streets is "Get rid of the twins"
Somehow, the public vote, they managed to win.

It was down to the wire for Rachel and Kandy Rain
And both of the acts took to the stage again.
The judges made their choices and it went to deadlock
After John and Edward triumphed with their "getting through shock".

So 11 acts remaining and Diva Week awaits
I'm already looking forward to it as I'm sure it will be great.
I can't until next weekend for the X Factor Live shows again
And I would like to send my commiserations to the lovely Kandy Rain.

View Article  Happy Birthday Kelly O'Neill
Twitter is a truly wonderful resource I have decided. I have come across some fabulous people that I wouldn't have perhaps "met" or even heard of if it had not been for Twitter.
One such person is Kelly O'Neill. She is a fabulous artist and I was captivated by her youtube videos of her drawing.

Anyway, the reason I have been inspired to post about her here is because I have just noticed (again, thanks Twitter) that it is her 30th Birthday today. She mentioned that she would have liked to be able to write and so I thought she might like her very own personalised poem.


So here goes.

Happy 30th Birthday Poem for Kelly O'Neill.

It's birthday time on the 5th of October
And your fabulous twenties are officially over.
Kelly, it's time for you to turn over the page
And start a new chapter as you reach 30 years of age.

You've had a great year as a newly-wedded wife
And you have a special talent as the Artist of Life.
Now as I am privileged to wish a Happy Birthday to you
I hope this year brings you success in everything you do.

As master of the pencil, your talent is clear
And so begins a fabulous and exciting year.
What will you capture? What will you draw?
I truly hope this year brings you all that you wish for.

So without further ado, enjoy this very special day
As your clearly devoted Husband whisks you away.
Remember you are only as old you as you feel!
Happy 30th Birthday dear Kelly O'Neill.

I've had quite a varied workload over the last few weeks. These include a poem for a Bride from her stepmother, personalised poetry for funerals and also a poem for a Christening.
Births, Marriages and Deaths; Poetry can encapsulate the feelings and emotions of each of those times.
I must say, that the longer I am doing this, that the whole circle of life and it's ups and downs seems more magnificent than ever. It really is satisfying to be able to say that I can adapt to each of those situations and do them justice.
Thanks once again to all my loyal customers as I couldn't do it without you!

Poems For Father's Day

With Father's Day rapidly approaching, why not request a poem for Dad. A personalised poem for Father's Day will certainly be something that is kept and treasured for a lifetime.

Dads, just like Mums, love to be told how special they are and this the perfect chance for you to tell him. Just imagine how touched your father will be when you tell him how much he means to you. You can even recall details of happy times you have shared together and even say thank you for all he has done.

To guarantee you have your personalised poem by Father's Day, orders should be placed by the 16th of June.
Purchasing a poem couldn't be simpler. Simply visit I Want A Poem and fill in the request form on the buy page.

View Article  The Apprentice
Just watched the final of The Apprentice 2009. I knew Yasmina would win. Great choice by Sir Alan there. I think Kate will also do very well. It is extremely motivating seeing strong women in today's society. It gives me hope that you really can achieve anything you want if you set your mind to it.
Well done ladies!
Makes me question myself though. Am I an entrepeneur? Hmmm, I suppose the label is irrelevant as long as you are successful. Ask me again in ten years!
View Article  Running a home enterprise
I thought I should have a brief mention of what it is like to run your own home eneterprise. Needless to say, you need to be dedicated as there is only yourself to motivate and get work done.
I am enjoying what I am doing at present. It is a very nice feeling to be doing something I love and getting paid to do it. It is also lovely to be giving something back, so to speak.  The feeling you get when somebody takes the time to write to you and let you know that they have enjoyed your poem, or that their recipient was so touched that they keep on mentioning it, is just an absolute joy. That said though, I am looking for new and exciting ways to use my talents. Answers on a postcard please!
There is also the issue of keeping a work/home balance when the two become intertwined. I found it very easy to slip into working 16-20 hours a day, just because I could. But of course that is not sustainable long term. I have worked hard to find some dedicated time for my enterprise whilst still leaving time for the children. I think the key is to pace yourself, and prioritise those tasks you need to do against the ones you would like to do.
Long may the harmonious balance last!
For example, today is a glorious sunny day, I am looking out over the hills for inspiration while my children play happily outdoors. Heaven!

I've gone a bit ultra modern and got a twitter account. Seems to be the in thing so I thought I would give it a go. Would be lovely to chat to some of my previous customers. I'm not really sure it is my thing but there is no harm in trying.
Social networking seems to have exploded over the last few years. It wasn't a cool thing to do when I first started using the net, but now everyone is at it.
Funny how times change.
Perhaps I shall see a few of you over there! Look forward to chatting.

Funny title you may think. With continuing support from my wonderful customers, I Want A Poem is going from strength to strength. Spring and Summer are wonderful times for writing happy love filled poetry. So much inspiration to be drawn from the blooming blossoms, blue skies and warm winds.
Recent commissions for personalised poetry have included acrostics, a 75th birthday poem, a poem for a new love interest, a poem dedicated to someone who was giving away the Bride and a poem on behalf of a little girl who had sadly just lost her Nana.
I experience such a range of emotions writing these poems. It's like you are given a little window or a snapshot of somebody's life; And then it is my job to encapsulate that snapshot of emotion into something personal that will be kept and re-read time and again. It really is an honour to have worked with some of the lovely people who have contacted me over the last year or so and I look forward to working with many of them again as new and exciting "occasions" happen for them.

Anything you want to say, anyday of the year. Say it with a poem.

Happy Poetry Month! April sees the US celebration of poetry whilst here in the UK, we have it in October.
I feel that poetry can sometimes get overlooked and definitely welcome anything that brings it back to people's attention.
There are so many ways that you can use a poem, and so many reasons to write one.
