Poem Of the Extraordinary Moment

Get a spontaneous poem written just for you or for someone you love and typed up in just 15 minutes!  All for a good cause.

How it works:  The person who is getting their poem created for them will be sent a link for their 15 minute Zoom session.  Katie will interview the P.O.E.M.-ee for a few minutes and then type up their poem on the spot.  She’ll read it to them, and then send them a photo (like the example below) of their finished poem.
