Rhymes to Remember

Bespoke verse, rhymes and poems for special occasions

Whether you are planning a wedding, celebrating another special occasion or trying to find the right words to honour someone special, writer and poet Sally R. Wilkes is able to work with you to create a bespoke poem that is truly meaningful and unique to you.

A bespoke poem is a beautiful and memorable way to personalise a wedding. It is a thoughtful and sentimental gift for a birthday, a wedding anniversary or another special occasion. A bespoke poem is also a lovely way to say thank you or to show someone how much they mean to you. Whether you are looking for something amusing, heart-warming or tear-jerking, Sally is able to draw on the type of emotions that you want your recipient or audience to feel. See your thoughts, feelings and memories transformed into a bespoke poem written in rhyming verse – a rhyme to remember!

If you don’t feel that something bespoke is quite what you are looking for, Sally also writes some more generic poems and quotes, which are available on several items from wedding backdrops and signs to artwork, greetings cards and home decor. If there is a particular topic or theme you would like to see a poem written about then please feel free to get in touch. Sally always welcomes a challenge!

ā€œMy bespoke poem for my wedding is everything I dreamed of and more. It’s so very special and I will treasure it forever. Thank you for understanding exactly what I wanted.ā€

"My grandparents were so touched with their poem, and everyone in the family has commented on how well Sally captured the essence of each of our relationships with them."

"I gave Sally a list of things that she did, memories, quirky things that only meant something to us. Sally took the time to speak to me and listen to the stories behind this list so that our poem would have meaning and not just be words on a piece of paper. The end result was amazing."

It’s Cervical Cancer Prevention Week so I wanted It’s Cervical Cancer Prevention Week so I wanted to share this #dontfearthesmear rhyme and sketch that I created last year. 

You may think that you’re too young/old for it to happen to you but if you receive a letter inviting you to a smear then please, please, please don’t ignore it. It honestly isn’t anything to be embarrassed or scared about and it takes no time at all.

Please feel free to share this is you wish. For more information and support please visit @joscervicalcancertrust

Whether it’s a speech, a gift or something else Whether it’s a speech, a gift or something else entirely, if you are trying to write something meaningful then you first need to think about the kind of emotions you want the recipient to feel. 

Whenever I write a bespoke piece, I start by imagining what it would be like to be the person reading or hearing it for the first time. This then sets the tone for the entire piece.

I absolutely loved creating all the little persona I absolutely loved creating all the little personal touches like these place holders for our wedding. I watched YouTube videos to learn how to make origami hummingbirds then I sat on an evening and practiced until I’d mastered it. I carefully wrote the name of a guest on the wings using a white pen and then I cut a slit in a cork and positioned the hummingbird on top. ⁣

ā€œOne day, we will hug again. But it will not be ā€œOne day, we will hug again. But it will not be just a hug. It will be an outpouring of a million missed moments. It will be a symbol that love has won!ā€

I think many of us are missing loved ones at the moment. I haven’t seen my grandma since August and even then the care home wouldn’t let me or my girls anywhere near her.

With this at the forefront of my mind, I have just made this hand-written design free to download for personal use from my website (link in bio). So, feel free to email it to a friend, print it out and post it to a loved one, or just stick it to your fridge as a reminder that this won’t last forever (even though it feels like it!)

These are two lines from a reading I recently fini These are two lines from a reading I recently finished for a bridesmaid who has been friends with the bride since they were in nursery together!

The poem tells the story of the bride and groom - how they met, how they got together and how their love has grown. Plus there’s a few embarrassing bits thrown in there for good measure!

I absolutely love hearing everyone’s stories as they are all so different. So tell me, how did you meet your other half?šŸ’œ

Anyone else dreaming of warmer days? When the sun Anyone else dreaming of warmer days? When the sun is up for hours and the fields are full of flowers?

I don’t know why but buttercups always brighten my mood. The same with daffodils. I must have a thing for yellow! 

So, how about you? What are you dreaming of? And what things brighten your mood?
