Hi ! My name is Allen Jesson and I would like to wish you a warm welcome to my new site. Welcome ! There are over two hundred poems and stories gathered here and you will find a magical mix of requested poems and "other work". There is also a fine selection of poems, jokes and stories by different authors for your enjoyment. 

I have, for several years now, been writing poems "by request", writing poems for special people and special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. People from all around the world have shared their innermost feelings and these thoughts have helped create some wonderful moments.  These stories are a unique collection of "words from the heart" and the recipients of these poems have kindly given their permission for their stories to be told on this site.

 If you would like to know more about requesting a poem then please click here. (Satisfaction guaranteed or you don't pay. I also donate 50% of the proceeds to nominated registered charities. Why?)

If you would like to see some recent examples then please go here.

"All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!! The poem is perfect! And, if I could write poetry, it would be exactly what I would have said! You don't know how much this will mean! As to using my story and the poem on your website, you definitely have my blessing! I am honored to have this from you and I will definitely be spreading the word to everyone I know! Thank you so much for this precious gift! I know that it will bring a smile and a tear to my wonderful husband! God Bless." Karin Cannon, who requested Wedding Ring

 If you would like to sample a line or two of my "other work" then please click on Fine Lines.

Alternatively, go here to find readers recommendations, or please feel free to wander around - click on a category in the left hand column to get started, or have a look at navigation for a few more tips. A few of my personal recommendations:

Footprints - Suicide is not painless.

Funny - Excellent selection of poems, jokes and stories.

The 19 Year Old - A sad story about drugs.

The Unknown Soldier - Lest we forget.

Choices - A great place to start.

There are several ways to navigate this site: By using the categories on the left hand side you are able to go directly to a summary page of whatever takes your fancy. i.e. Sad will take you to a selection of sad poems, whilst Funny will give you a choice of funny poems and stories (well worth a visit... :)

Alternatively, the navigation bars at the top and bottom of the page group all the poems in a similar category i.e. if you are reading a poem in Anniversaries then all the other poems in that category are available via NEXT (or BACK). UP will take you to that poems summary page. Similarly, if you are looking at a summary page then all the other summary pages will also be available via NEXT (or BACK).  

Note: Where a poem falls into two categories (i.e. Sad and Death) the poem will not be listed in both categories on the navigation bars above, but will be listed in both summary pages.

I hope all this makes sense, if not please let me know ! Other pages that may interest you are:

I would also love to hear from you with regards to the site. What works, what doesn't, what you did you like/dislike ? In fact, any comment at all would be most welcome.
