Anniversary Gift That Says It All

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
24/05/2006

Mersea Island, Essex, England - 19th May 2006

"What can I get my wife (or husband) for our anniversary?" A familiar question asked by many when it comes to a birthday or anniversary, especially when you've been married a few years. Well, help is at hand, in the form of a relatively new concept, gift poetry.

Internet poet, Allen Jesson, has released the world's first automated personalized poetry site. With literally thousands of poems and categorized verses to choose from, budding bards can now find odes of inspiration to create their own love poetry. "A Gift of Poetry is a great way to express your innermost thoughts and feelings and that is why it makes such a good wedding, anniversary or birthday gift, as it creates the perfect framework for you to say all those things that should have been said, but haven't been said, especially if you've been married a while" says Allen. "We have also started to add what we call 'Instant Poems' where with literally a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can create your very own personalized (and meaningful) poem."

"If you have ever sat there, frustrated, trying to get your romantic feelings down on paper, then you know just how tough it can be to express true emotion. Most people know what they want to say, they just don't know HOW to say it. That is why this is such a great idea as the existing verses act as a prompt and one click later, they've been included in your gift" Allen goes on.

To explain further, visitors to A Gift of Poetry (http://www.giftofpoetry.com) "cut and paste" their favorite verses to create their own Gift of Poetry. This massive body of work, over 50,000 verses, was amassed and written over a ten year period. Some of the shared stories are very moving. From birth to death and beyond and every point in between, it seems Allen has written about most of the major pivotal moments in people's lives. Apart from the obvious wedding, anniversary and birthday milestones, Allen's customers, who were mostly American and English, have used his gift to send a variety of heartfelt messages to their loved ones. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have also added to this heady and worldwide mix of love and emotion.

With a clever use of technology, visitors can now use those pre-existing verses as the basis for their own creation. When they're finished they can have their 'gift' sent via e-mail or presented in a boxed, handmade card, even delivered with a bunch of flowers, to make the perfect wedding, anniversary or birthday gift. A gift that really says it all.

So, for the savvy Romeo or Juliet this year, there will be no chewing pencils or hours spent in the greeting card aisle. No, they'll be online, expressing exactly what is in their hearts (with a little help from their friends).
