Tarzan’s ‘Umgawa’ Burden

by Karl Constantine FOLKES

This beautiful ceramic mug is perfect for any event of the day. Your morning coffee, a hot chocolate or any other hot beverage you enjoy. The mug is glossy white and the prints come out beautifully and vividly on it. The print retains its quality and luster when used in both microwaves and the dishwasher.

Just got the mug I purchased and I'm very pleased...!
My concern was where you would edit ..what you'd have to not include as my poem is too long for all to fit.
You used great judgement in it's preparation..
Thank you so much! more »

Beautiful mug but i can't afford it plus i don't think id want to wake each morning to coffee with memories of my poem with such sensitivity and sadness ....but still the mug is very nice, One day I will write inspiring poems and perhaps win one of these mugs, but for now writing helps me deal with ill memories, i need to forget and that's all good. more »

Does the complete poem show up on the mug? Looks like it cut words off and left off last part of my poem??

  Hi there, We strive to include the entire poem on the mug. However, if the poem is too long to fit, we may have to print only an excerpt of it.

The mugs with the poems printed on them look great. I'm looking forward to receiving mine. I'm a little confused as to where to send my mailing address. I was a runner up in September competition. Thanks for your help. Jeffrey Rollins more »
