this poem is for you …
highly original poetry you can commission
A poetic portrait. That reflects the spirit of who you are, or of someone or something you cherish. Celebrates and resonates with inspiration, and affirmation. Around a birthday or anniversary, life event, notable occasion ~ or some dimension of personal or professional significance.
A piece composed with deep-seeing, sensing and expressing. By me. A multiversed poet, Poetorialist, illuminator. Poet Laureate of The Truce Foundation. Guide of The Poetisphere, an oasis for seekers of greater aliveness and possibility. And composer and voice of the Substack series, The Daily Spark.
Individuals of all kinds, across the world, across the decades, have received these one-of-a-kind honorings. They’ve also marked special events, from the International Olympic Games to The America’s Cup; from couples at their anniversaries and voyagers adventuring, to those with careers just beginning or ending. And as a tribute for loved ones who’ve left the world.
Now I’m opening this opportunity out, by word-of-mouth, to individuals in other circles.
You can commission one for yourself, or give a gift to someone else…maybe to a treasured partner, parent or child, graduate or grandparent, sibling, colleague or dear friend.
It begins with a 1-hour (ideally live-by-video) call, for me to pose questions, witness you, and glean into your essence. Or the essence of the receiver or occasion. And from there into a finished poem, both written and voiced, sent by email. Also a hand-signed copy sent by regular mail. To savor and freely share.
I place it in your hands within two to three working weeks, allowing for the right musing and crafting time.
A beautiful, artful, indelible poem. A touchstone. A living heirloom.
The investment is a call, a close-in conversation and open-hearted sharing with me. And a donation of $400. Makeable at the start. That goes to support my larger poetic work in the world serving the well-being of our Earth and humanity.
Here are examples of ones I’ve created. Also expressions of praise and thanks I’ve received.
I’d be glad to explore creating and infusing something meaningful for you. Reach out to me here with any questions or to begin a one-of-a-kind experience, exchange…and alchemy.
