Professionally Written Poem For A Birthday

This bespoke birthday poem is a very unusual and personal gift, popular with milestone birthdays and special occasions. It has been described as 'the gift of a lifetime.'

The poem is based on your background information and comes ready framed. It also makes a great speech for a birthday party.

Our poems are often referred to as 'clever', 'witty' and 'distinctly not naff' and have been recommended as gifts by VOGUE and Easy Living.

Our writing team is led by award-winning poet Joanna Miller. Joanna has a degree from Oxford University, so she knows her rhyming couplets! She and her team of professional writers have written hundreds of birthday poems between them.

When you order we will send you a questionnaire about your special person. We ask you questions about their likes and dislikes, character, nicknames, habits and hobbies, in-jokes and funny stories.

We will use your words and ideas to create a clever and affectionate portrait of your special person and what they mean to you. You will be sent a proof to approve and any tweaks required will be made for you.

Sample poem:

Happy 60th Birthday Mum

In Bournemouth town there lives a mother

Superior to any other.

Sixty years of age is she,

Though looking more like twenty-three,

The secret to her youthful glow

Is golf and gym and veg, you know.

Yes, Beryl has that mystic art

Of always looking very smart.

Her hair: perfection on a head

As soon as she gets out of bed;

The home immaculately neat

(As long as Colin wipes his feet.)

Now, anyone who crosses Beryl

Is truly in a state of peril,

For Mrs N has such a glare

You really wish you were not there!

In fact, you’d very likely say

That lady’s like a Milky Way:

A firm and solid outer part

With soft marshmallow at the heart.

She’s the lynchpin, axis, core,

The lighthouse guiding you to shore,

The rock that’s there whatever weather,

And keeps the family together.

So Happy Birthday Mrs N

Beloved Mother, Wife and Friend.
