Tony Haynes – Touching the Heart and Soul with Poetry

By: Lily Steiner

With a mission of creating poetry works that touch a person’s heart, soul and everyday life, Tony Haynes is going beyond expressing his love of people and their creative impulses. He is personalizing a special gift for an individual, one that will last forever and can be passed down to future generations. He loves inspiring people to imagine and hope, to dream and believe.

Calling himself the “Greatest Poet in the World,” Tony has made popular a unique type of poem, the acrostic poem. Used for years as a way to introduce poetry writing to children, he has elevated it to a whole new level. He is also known as “The 48 Second Poet” because he can pull an individualized poem, one tailored to the recipient, out of thin air in less then a minute. The person tells Tony what they would like the title to be and he composes the poem on the spot. It is a one-of-a-kind gift, personalized and magical.

For instance, if you would approach Tony and ask for a poem as a gift for “John Smith,” he could create a poem with 9 lines, each line starting with the letters of John’s name. It could be about any theme you desire. When giving a remarkable gift like this to your friend or loved one, the reactions upon receipt are often ones of amazement and wonder.

With his unique approach of spontaneous showmanship combined with his artistic abilities of calligraphy, Tony is storming the gift market. This is not the only creative thing about Tony, however. He has spent years creating beautiful works for our world as a songwriter, music publisher, record producer and author.

As a songwriter, Tony has written songs for over 200 albums, his first song recorded by the Spinners in 1981, “Send A Little Love.” With his songs selling over 70 million copies worldwide, they have earned him sixty gold and multi-platinum awards, as well as several ASCAP Awards. Music publishing includes talents such as Bobby Brown, Jeffrey Osborne, Earth, Wind & Fire, Al Jarreau, Kool & The Gang, The Temptations, the Isley Brothers and many more.

Living and creating in the world of children has been one favorite for Tony, and in 1993, he began to turn his attention to children’s entertainment. He produced many different audio products, wrote books and created animated characters. Under the Warner Kids label and others he wrote and/or produced famous projects like “Looney Tunes Lovables Lullabies,” “Bugs Bunny in Carrotblanca,” and others. For Hanna Barbera and Motown, Tony served as executive producer for “The Flintstone’s Motown Christmas.” His list of accomplishments is long and significant.

With a number of books for children also available from Warner Bros.Worldwide Publishing, Landoll and Penguin Books, he entertained our kids with classics such as “RazzamaTaz,” “A Dune Buggy Ride With Baby Taz,” “Baby Tweety’s Flying Machine,” “Baby Sylvester’s Big Day” and “Baby Bugs’ Favorite Things.”

Now with Tony’s new GreetingsBooks®, a spiral-bound book with a pocket for envelopes, he is accomplishing his mission with finesse, and creating pleasure for kids and adults alike.

Tony Haynes is putting rhymes where darkness or sadness lurks to touch the lives of all, and make happiness prevail. It’s the light of love that shines through.
