Written specifically from what you share. Every Post begins with a person, story, memory, feeling, celebration or moment and becomes an original poem created for its recipient.
Once your poem is written and refined, the final piece is individually typed on one of our typewriters. It is not a reproduction or digitally printed imitation.
Your finished poem is enclosed in a Poetry O’Clock envelope and individually sealed by hand with wax.
The wax-sealed envelope is placed inside a protective outer envelope, carefully prepared for its journey to you or its recipient.
Every Post is prepared individually, from the writing and typewriting to the final seal and presentation.
You give us something to begin with. From there, Poetry O’Clock interprets what you share and shapes it into an original poem. Part of The Post is discovering how your story returns to you through poetry.
Tell us about the person, story, memory, feeling, celebration or moment you would like us to write from. A short paragraph is enough. Share the details that feel important, including any names, dates or facts you would like us to get exactly right.
What you share becomes the starting point for an original poem. A Poetry O’Clock poet interprets it with care, allowing the writing to take its own shape while remaining rooted in what you shared. The finished poem is personal to its recipient while still holding an element of discovery.
