Sara Colleen has been writing poetry since her teenage years, long before before the first time one of her limericks was published by "The Saturday Evening Post" as the winning entry in a photo-captioning contest and long before she started saving copies of hand-written work in 1976.

She has always said that each poem is a snapshot of life at the moment that she wrote it, from tearjerkers like "Snowmen" to comedic entries like "Everything Hurts."

Sara's collected poetry, song lyrics, and limericks have been collecting dust since the 1970s. She never intended to publish or sell most of her work and in fact she never planned to write much of it either; the majority of Sara Colleen's writings are spur-of-the-moment and written in a single sitting. Sara has always said that her poems and limericks are, "Snapshots of Life," like the pen and paper are a polaroid camera that focus on how she feels or how she felt at the time of each writing.

It's even been difficult for friends and family to get her to agree, now that she has hundreds of pages of content, to share her material with the public at large much less to put it out on the internet. While some of her material will be posted here to the website, the full collection of Sara's writings is being catalogued and prepared for printing in a hardcover edition titled, "Snapshots of Life."

The hardcover edition will feature each of Sara's original poems just as they appear here on the website, from scans of handwritten pages from her notebooks and typewritten pages to scans of printouts from poems or limericks she shot off as an email to family and friends.

Sara Colleen offers to write poetry to your specifications, whether it's a personal message to or about a loved one or an old-fashioned kiss off to a bad relationship or boss.

Prices vary depending on the length and scope of the work requested, so please be as specific as you can when you send a request for a quote.
