Writing poetry has always been a passion for me. It is a way of expressing myself, my feelings, what I want to say but sometimes can't say out loud. Poetry portraits are something I actually started as a child according to my mom. She said I would draw pictures or cut them out and glue them on paper and write a poem to go with them. That was before the modern-day computer age.
Today, I do them for others as well as friends and family. I have been told I could charge even more than the $20.00 I charge for a unique poem written just for them that has a picture, background and is framed but honestly? I am already paid more than money could buy. Just last night at an event, I heard a friend tell someone about a poetry portrait she ordered from me for her husband one Valentine's Day just a few months before he passed away. She said he told her it was one of the nicest things she had ever given him. To me, those type of reviews are as a priceless as the sentimental gift I am able to help so many give to their loved ones through a poetry portrait.
I set up this blog to encourage others to write and to talk about my Poetry Portrait passion. I will share poems from time to time and I hope that you enjoy them. I will generally use the theme of whatever month or time it is with whatever poem I share. I won't share ones that I have written for others as gifts to their loved ones because they were purchased and are owned by them.
Today, however, I want to share this with you. No matter who you are, you ARE. No matter your age, you ARE. Follow your dreams, find your own Oscar Moments in Time. Whether your talent is writing, drawing, singing, etc., you can and are someone special. Share that special part of you with the world by using your talent.
