Making Poems Come Alive
Katherine Walker
Founder & Creative Director
Katherine Walker loves to rhyme
She does it in her leisure time
She’s always had the gift for this
Not one occasion would she miss
At Durham Uni she did reach
The height of valedictory speech
While studying a degree in Arts -
Any excuse for rhyming parts!
And then her first job in PR
Consumer products took her far
Persil, Comfort, Lux and Dove
Lever Bros – what’s not to love?!
Domestos gave her chance to shine
A health newsletter to combine
The use of multi surface spray
With rhyming verse - what other way?!
Other clients followed suit,
All still the consumer route
SmithKline Beecham, Baxters, Coors
Opened her creative doors
But then she chose to leave this role
Journalism was her goal
The writing itch must sure be scratched
And so a plan to study hatched
Then freelance at Express magazine
Interviewing, writing what she’d seen
In celebs’ fridges she would look
And comment on the food they took.
But jobs were few and far between
She searched for full time jobs she’d seen
And then a new path she did take
Recruitment now – to her, match make!
It gave her such a lot of enjoyment
Choosing them their next employment.
And then she chose to work four days
And move into the City haze
A Livery Co her destination
And, to her, her true salvation
Events and membership her role
She gives to it her heart and soul
And often there’s an invitation
Which might need some rhyme creation!
Bring it on, that’s what she’d say
That’s how she got to here, today!

Give me the background I'll give you my time
Give me the words and I'll give you the rhyme
