Tony Haynes

Tony Haynes is "The World's Greatest Poet.” As the world's Foremost Practitioner of Acrostic Poetry, in less than a minute Tony can literally pull a poem out of thin air. Give him the title of what you’d like to call your poem, and he will create it for you on the spot.The catch is, he will write your name in the air, and show you how the beginning of each line in the poem he’s creating spells the letters of your name downward. It’s an eloquent combination of spontaneous penmanship & showmanship. The poem is being written down as he speaks it into existence. This way, the person he’s creating it for has an instant one-of-a-kind personalized gift that they can cherish for a lifetime.Before Tony realized he had this rare talent, he was a songwriter, music publisher, record producer & author.
