How to Write a VIP Poem

A VIP poem is not very long, but it packs a lot of meaning into its words. It does just what it suggests: a VIP poem allows you to honor a Very Important Person in a personalized way. Writing a VIP poem allows you to evaluate your feelings about special people who have influenced your life in a positive way. The emotional and evaluative benefits remain the your, whether or not your VIP reads the poem.
