A good old fashioned pen and paper are at the start of every poem The Original Poet writes, and a good old fashioned helping of romance is at the heart of this rhyme.
It’s true that emails, texts and Whatsapp messages can help us woo at speed, but when it comes to romance, there’s nothing quite like the magic of a love note, letter or indeed poem!
Handwritten and illustrated using a real nib pen and bottle of ink, this poem has been given some extra love with a sparkling foiled finish in a choice of silver or gold.
A wonderful wedding, anniversary or valentine gift, this is a love poem to last the test of time and joy of joys, no wifi signal needed!
This poem is also available as a black and white print

Poem Wording
I'm not a fan of email,
I'm not that keen on texts,
I'd rather write in longhand,
for me, handwriting's best.
Some say that I'm old-fashioned
and should move with the times,
but I'm a simple human
and I write what's on my mind.
So I'll keep on sending letters
and love notes you can hold
and I hope perhaps you'll keep them,
to read when you are old.
