Biography

My name is Clive Saffron, a published poet with the desire to use my writing skills to bring the feel good factor to others.Creating rhyming poetry is my passion and favourite art form and born out of my joy of the English language. For me, it is a wonderful form of catharsis and self-expression. As somebody who likes to sing too, the rhythms and lyrics of so many songs inspire me to play with words and arrange them in metrical patterns to create rhymes.I have established Rhymes For Times to offer a fully personalised, bespoke and rhyming poetry and speech writing service for individuals and businesses worldwide and for any occasion.I always take exceptional care and pride in creating poetry and aim to touch the hearts of those who read it and have them connect with the deeper meaning of my words.It is a highly satisfying feeling to arouse people’s emotions with my poetry and make them laugh and cry and put smiles on their faces

A poem to celebrate a marriage

A wonderful and beautiful story is about to unfold, Celebrating the marriage of two hearts into one. Each turning page shall be illustrated in vibrant colour And follow the path of true love that’s just begun. This, your Wedding Day, marks a new chapter, Where, as a couple, you’ll learn what love truly means. May you laugh together, comfort and forgive each other And share all your hopes, aspirations and dreams. As in fairy-tales, dance freely in each other’s arms And smile with your eyes, come rain, wind or shine. May you bring music to each other’s lives, As your souls sing from now ‘til the end of time. A deep well of happiness is wished for you, Overflowing with blessings and filling your cup. May the warm rays of the sun fall upon you And bring you energy to lift each other up. As you walk this journey from beginning to end, Sharing your lives as the years come and go, May you surrender your hearts to each other always, For the sweetest love comes from the seeds you sow. Through good times and bad, for better or for worse, Be there for each other always, to have and to hold. Rejoice in your love, side by side, through all eternity, Creating memories and the greatest story ever told.

A poem for a mother’s 80th birthday

Over the sands of time you’ve travelled. Across the ocean of life you’ve sailed. Through the fog of daily worries, Your unfailing love’s prevailed. Your light shines from within, Brighter than the heavenly sky. The fire in your soul’s unquenched, The flames one can’t deny. Don’t measure your life in years Nor by the number of breaths you take, For we’re blessed by your resounding wisdom And the memories you continue to make. In your footsteps I wish to tread, I want to grow in your direction, To mirror your warmth and kindness, Your honesty, integrity and affection. Your life is truly remarkable, A lasting legacy you’ll surely bestow. Let’s joyfully sing your melody And forever bask in your glow. Although you’ve entered your twilight years, So much you’ve done is unsung, But in your heart, for all eternity, May you be strong, radiant and young.

A poem for a hen party

To the blushing bride to be, This rite of passage you’ll not be spared. Let your hair down, be wild and free, Allow your tales and secrets to be bared. Not designed for hearts too weak, This night’s when us girls misbehave. In our tutus, fairy wings and pink feather boas, We’ll paint the town red and rave. We’re like one dysfunctional family, But we’ll bond and shout tonight. Cocktails and Prosecco will flow freely, As we dance the “Macarena” ‘til morning light. We’ll have a blast and be merry, For girls just want to have fun. Adorned with “L” plates, you won’t stay sober And your makeup will inevitably run. On this, your last night of freedom, It’s your final fling before the wedding ring. Your head may be sore tomorrow, But, oh, the stories these walls could sing! Remember this night always, With all your girlfriends at your side, For you’ll soon tie the knot and be married And embark on a magical ride.
