Looking for inspiration? You've come to the right place!

Welcome to my poetry log, or as otherwise known, my PLOG.

Here you will find verses from my work with back-story narratives, letting you know who the poem was for and how it was used.

I hope this gives you an idea for your 'someone special' and how you could use Ru's Rhymes to say what it is you want to say!

Julie

This poem was put together as a gift within a gift...I'll explain.

Vikki had booked to take her Mum away to celebrate her birthday. With the trip taking place in a few weeks time, Vikki still wanted to give her Mum something to open on her big day.

So, I met with Vikki, and she shared a few stories about her Mum, what she's like as a person and a few key details relating to the trip. I included these within the poem and designed a background to suit.

Vikki was able to give something personalised and special, whilst telling her Mum about the trip ahead...a lovely lazy get-away to Lake Como. Talk about two gifts in one!

Tri

I have to admit, this verse for April's made of honour speech to the bride and her best friend Tri, makes me well-up when I read it back.

During my consultation with April, she shared with me that her and Tri had a mutual love for Abba. I knew there and then that I just had to get an Abba themed line in there somewhere! With all the hit's they'd had, it couldn't be too hard, right?!

Wrong! I just couldn't seem to find the right lyric, line or song title...until the very end of the poem.

It felt fitting to finish with a line that gave a nod to their love for Abba as friends, whilst complimenting the bride and groom. Cheers to that!

Rodney

I really enjoyed writing this verse for Rodney's birthday poem.

With a love for boardgames myself, I completely related to the story Kat told me of her Dad, Rodney, who by all accounts, takes games pretty seriously and catches on to how to win very quickly!

I hope I don't come up against Rodney any time soon!

Steven

Rachael approached me to write a poem for her husband Steven, to celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary.

I loved hearing about the moments they'd shared over the years, with Steven's charisma a clear feature throughout!

The number 7 also seemed to crop-up regularly in their journey, so it was a real 'feel-good' moment when I was able to combine both constants in one verse.

Shaun

I was asked by Kate to write a poem for her husband, Shaun, to simply say "thank you" for being him and doing what he does for their family.

What a lovely "just because" gesture.

Whenever I think about this poem, this verse always springs to mind! I recall laughing with Kate during our consultation around Shaun being a stickler with the thermostat and not letting the heating creep over 19.5oC! (It reminded me a little of myself in truth haha!)

I really wanted to get this story into the poem so when I did, I have to admit that I had a good chuckle to myself! I thought it brought the perfect balance of comedy and sentiment.

Emily

I'd never even thought about writing a poem for someone's Graduation, so when I was approached by a friendship group who wanted me to write one for their friend Emily, I was really up for the challenge!

The consultation was really fun and it was great to get input from all the girls on the call! As a result, I felt like I got to know Emily really well and it meant that when it came to it's design, I had a real idea of what Emily would like. In this instance, favourite colours and farmyard animals!

I've found that I get just as excited about writing the poem as I do about designing it, making sure the design really compliments the poem and the person it's about.

Do you want a poem writing for someone special?

Perhaps there's a special occasion coming up and you'd like to give them something really personalised.

Maybe you've been asked to deliver a speech and you've no idea where to start.

Or, do you want to ask someone special a question but don't know how to ask it?

Get in touch to get that ball point pen rolling!
