pocketPoemsa poem for every story

About

Hello, I'm Riya.

I'm Riya Sinha, and pocketPoems is just me — one poet, writing one poem at a time. I started it because I kept noticing the same thing: the moments that matter most are the ones we struggle to put into words.

A milestone birthday. A quiet anniversary. A goodbye. We reach for a card and find it says everything except what we mean. I believe a poem, written for one person and one moment, can hold what a card can't — and become something they keep for years.

How I work

Personal, always

Every poem is written from scratch, from your story — never a template.

A real conversation

I share a draft and welcome your changes until it feels exactly right.

Yours to keep

You receive it as text, a typeset PDF, and a card you can share.

“Tell me the story. I'll find the words.”— Riya Sinha, founder of pocketPoems

Let's begin.

Share who the poem is for and the story behind it — I'd love to write it.
