Many people write poems for a particular occasion or for a particular person just because they want to, but often it is because they just can't find anything out there that will serve the purpose. Although written for a specific person it does not mean it would not be appropriate for another person, as is or with adaption.
For example a poem written for a sister might have verses or express sentiments appropriate for someone else's mother or a poem to a mother might work well for a father.
Do you have a poem you've written or been sent that you'd care to share?
I'd love to hear from you
