With a mission of creating poetry works that touch a persons heart, soul and day-to-day life, Tony Haynes is more than expressing his love of people and their creative desires. 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 a special 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 write a poem with 9 lines, each line starting with a different letter of Johns name. It could be about any theme you desire. When giving a special 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 penmanship, Tony is taking the gift market by storm. This is not the only creative thing about Tony, however. He has spent years creating special things 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 more than 70 million copies worldwide, they have earned him sixty gold and multi-platinum awards, as well as several ASCAP Awards. Music publishing includes artists 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 career highlight for Tony, and in 1993, he began to focus on childrens 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 was executive producer for The Flintstones Motown Christmas. His list of accomplishments is vast and significant.
With a number of books for children also published by 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 Tweetys Flying Machine, Baby Sylvesters Big Day and Baby Bugs Favorite Things.
Now with Tonys 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. Its the light of love that shines through.
