Welcome to our

                                                                                            POET SERVICES PAGE

We realize that not every poet wants to be a songwriter. There is just as much pleasure

in hearing a poem professionally read as there is in having music composed for your lyric

and hearing it played for the first time. For that reason we offer additional services

specifically geared to the poets among you. Please take a few minutes and read our

copyright information page.

Here is what we offer:

Plan 1. If you already are a professional reader, and would like original or public domain

music engineered into the existing recording of your poem,  we can supply what

you need for $100 per poem. 

Plan 2. If you are a poet and would like to have a CD recording of your poem done by a

professional reader, either male of female, with no music, we offer that for $75

per poem. 

Plan 3. If you would like to combine the two, your poem done by a professional reader

with original or public domain music as background, we offer that for $165 per

poem.

                 All above pricing has in addition $5 for shipping and handling of CD. Ohio residents

            subject to Ohio sale tax. Discount available for multiple poems. All recordings are done in

                                       a professional 24 track digital recording studio.

                            Read by Professional Reader: Debbie Cacchione                      

          " SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001"

                  I saw a woman watching, as hell rained from the sky

               She stared with us in disbelief, unable to see why

               Among the first upon the scene, she saved each one she could

               Barely getting out herself, uncertain that she would

               As the smoke began to clear, she shook the dust away

               Then stepped right up to help them dig, while chanting U.S.A.

               I saw her climb and hang our flag, above the blood and gore

               She hoped as they found some alive, and prayed they would find more

               When darkness fell she would not leave, she stayed to hold the light

               As morning broke she had remained, still fresh and full of fight

               Ready for another day, she was a sight to see

               I saw a woman watching, it was lady liberty
