Greeting Card

tiny hands and huge heart spied this pattern of life a flight to heaven forerun by sweet token words you are what you read, but cherished for what you write a nascent artist who could easily entice a subtle rhyme from tears that land upon the earth tiny hands and huge heart spied this pattern of life she toted pen, paper, and the need to recite phrases that delivered so much more than self-worth you are what you read, but cherished for what you write deeply immersed in a literary device her mind rode this wave like the skilled surfer tiny hands and huge heart spied this pattern of life this precocious gift came wrapped in a lavish smile a child who saw tremendous joy in giving verse you are what you read, but cherished for what you write never to be forgotten a soul free of strife her story tolls like the bells of wisdom and church tiny hands and huge heart spied this pattern of life you are what you read, but cherished for what you write

Hello Richard, I like the blank greeting card. That means I can create my own words. Do averse of some sort. Or just write a little verse. Have a nice evening my friend.

Love the villanelle style by which you portray that beautiful poet, Richard. “tiny hands and a huge heart” is a fave line for me! Blessings :)

Wow! Outstanding poetry. Love the theme: "Cherished for what you write." To take in is to assimilate into one's being all that one has been provided; we do it with food, what we read--hopefully to better our minds, making fertile imagination for new thought and action. And to give back creation, individual and beautiful, is a step toward Divine.
