Meet Our Writers
                      Bill Cook, Co-Founder, has worked in
                      ministry, public speaking and writing
                      for 30 years.  His ability to capture the
                      essence of his subject is unsurpassed
                      and his poetry frequently reflects his
                      love for spiritual things.  Having spent many years in service to the Lord and others, his compassion and concern for people are readily apparent in his writing and his day-to-day interaction with customers and staff alike.   
                       Sally Jewell, Co-Founder, has
                       worked in writing, word processing,
                       transcription and editing for 30 years.
                       Committed to perfection in every aspect
                       of her work, Sally's introspective writing
                       is tender and moving and her consistent
attention to detail, grammar and punctuation is reflected in every personal poetry gift. Though Sally wears many hats, she wears each with efficiency, grace and style.
          Because nothing is quite as special to a
    friend or loved one as words from the heart, our
    goal at Poetry By Design is to create unique
    and meaningful poetry that touches the lives of
   those who mean the most to you. Personal
   poetry is an original and tasteful way to acknow-
  ledge the special people in your life on special
  occasions or just to let them know you care.

      For those occasions when only extra special
  words will do, we also offer personalized wedding
  vows and memorial poetry.  And the business-
   minded will appreciate our business advertising
     poetry designed especially for your company.

       Poetry By Design is just that - poetry
         designed by you, from the paper to the message itself. The end
             creation is yours as surely as if you
               had written it yourself, and the result
                 is a gift that will stir the heart for
                   years to come..
Thank you for visiting our site.  We hope you 
      enjoy your visit and are impressed to send
             special words to the special people in
                   your life today!
About the Poetry By Design Team
                    KiKi, Consulting Editor and Staff Writer,                     would rather write poetry than breathe,
                    and her enthusiasm is contagious.
                    KiKi's European roots have influenced                         her writing tremendously, as her family                       did much of its communicating via                               letters filled with deep emotion.  Throughout her life Kiki has also been a voice and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves, both two-legged or four-legged.  Befittingly, Kiki is also our Pet Poetry writer.

                    Tom Kendall, Staff Writer, began his
                    writing career as an adolescent when the
                    eyes of a certain young Italian girl
                    compelled him to pursue her with poetry.
                    His love for the art has remained to this                         day and though unsuccessful in that
                    attempt long ago, many a heart he has endeared with his passionate verse and eloquent style.  Of course, our Tom has also been blessed with a wonderful sense of humor, so if a chuckle is what you hope to achieve, Tom is up to the task!
