Send me an email, the subject should be 'Posted Poetry'
With anything on it - once it is only one small paragraph.
And maybe a photograph, a picture of yourself or something special to you.
I will post you a poem.
If you don't like poetry, say so - i will send you a rant, an observation.
I wont send you a Haiku.
I fucking hate Haiku.
Whatever I send, it will be written just for you.
If you think you want the poem to be exactly about something specific - or even to have an exact line, or a person's name in it, write that down too.
I will use your paragraph and picture etc as some sort of inspiration.
Unfortunately I will also need your address.
Relax - I'm not an axe murderer. I just want to post the poem to you.
For what it's worth I will also sign the poem and write a short letter, telling you something of how, or why I wrote it the way I did.
So go on.
Email me at uiscebot(at)gmail.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Colm,that's a neat idea.Also I was beginning to think I was in a minority of one not liking Haiku,let alone Tanka etc and all their multifarious derivatives.A Haiku may be mercifully short but still 3 lines and 17 syllables too long if you ask me.By the way I'm the founder member of PAH! (Poets against Haiku)Started todat at 2pm.
why?
Hi Colm,
Just recently started following your blog - I think this is a great idea! I'd love a poem written just for me by someone who doesn't know me. Cool way to start the New Year.
Thanks!
Hi Colm... *Waves* :-)
Sent you a pome (ha, ha). Hope it came through...
*Cheers*

Happy New Ears Colm,
2 questions:
What did a haiku ever do to you?
And
What takes longer: a curry or a poem?
Poems are in the oven now. Nearly ready for the postman. Most of them. Keep em coming peeps.
