Instant poems are unedited, emulating the on the spot poems I create at markets. So if you spotted me at a market and missed me, wish you’d asked for a poem about another topic, or aren’t in my area but would like a poem, I can send you one in the post.

How does it work?

Give me a short prompt or topic you’d like a poem about.

I may ask for a little more detail, but unlike ordering a custom poem, for this cheaper flat rate there will be NO editing process. 

You’ll see your poem when you receive it, wax-sealed in the post on A6 cotton rag paper.

This is a great alternative if you want to leave the words to me, and are in the mood for a little surprise.

PLEASE NOTE:

1) Though written instantaneously, this is not a guarantee that your poem will be posted instantly. As a sole creator, I aim to deliver your poem as fast as possible, but I do advise up to a 2 week turnaround time to receive your poem. Please contact me at charlie@charlieraswrites.com if you’ve been waiting longer than 2 weeks for your order.

2) Although I ensure names and meaningful references are spelled correctly, and though I’m a pretty good speller, instant poems may have typos and other imperfections. Their aim is not to be perfect and honestly, in a world of digital generation, I’ve learned to embrace imperfection as part of the art of typing.
