Write A Poem On Any Topic











About:

Poems can be tricky, slippery creatures. A good poem takes time, a love of language, and an understanding of how to make a word pay for its place.



I've been commissioned many times over to write work on topics as varied as historical figures, the future, art installations and even a stuffed porcupine!



Incidentally, the porcupine poem was enjoyed so much it was printed by a well-known poetry festival on postcards and put on sale.



I love to play with form and enjoy a challenge.



My favourite poem to date was based on an ancient Welsh poetic style called cynghanedd that uses the rhythmic patterns of consonants and syllables.

You can watch a video that includes an animation and performance of the piece here: https://youtu.be/KBVZofu1cjw



I am passionate about poetry and would love to write something that caters to your specification.
