At Pen & Parcel, I compose personal pieces of poetry and prose for important people and milestones in your life. I take key words, characteristics, and memories and turn them into a special keepsake. Each commission includes an original piece of writing and both a digital and printed copy of the piece. Your commission will be printed on high quality deckle edged paper, ready for gifting or framing.

Commission Customer Testimonials

“I could not be happier with the thoughtful poem Pen & Parcel created for my little one’s birthday. It perfectly captured the essence of my daughter in this season. I look forward to cherishing this piece for years to come!”

- Emily, commission for her daughter’s 2nd birthday

“Pen & Parcel wrote a blessing for my husband and I’s wedding anniversary. The blessing was written with such thoughtfulness and care and included so many meaningful references to our life and marriage. This is one of the most personalized gifts I’ve ever bought. Pen & Parcel would make a great gift for any special or ordinary occasion.”

- Shar, commission for her husband for wedding Anniversary

“Pen & Parcel somehow was able to magically put our oldest son on paper. Her ability to craft a poem that so perfectly describes his personality and our hopes for him made me both laugh and tear up.”

    Would you mind

    putting the kettle on?

    I need to hear it sing,

    whistle me a reminder

    of the warmth of cloves,

    the scent of orange,

    honey on

    my hands that shake from toil,

    wrap me in the balm

    of sheep’s wool,

    take me

    to the sky.
