Original Poems On Greeting Cards

"So now the things of gold burn bright
With shadows blinded by the light
Of good and rightful days of peace
While darkness earns a cold release"

Poet's Statement
"I have never put much value in "trends" or "rules" when it comes to writing.  I have always believed that rhyme and fairly rigid meter--while not always present in my poems--are interesting and pleasing tools.  They may seem outdated to some, but I, personally, like them and use them a lot.  Although I am quite pragmatic, I also like quaint, almost "corny" poems-----almost.  They are about "real" feelings and "real" values.  I should have lived in the late 1800's---I would have fit in very well with the "trendy" poets of the time.  These days, I will appeal only to those who think a smile is worth giving.  To that end, I have put together some very simple poem cards that speak for themselves.  They don't have the flowery art that I am certainly capable of putting on them, and they don't have trademarks or UPC's.  They are simple little smile cards---and that's it."
