Carrie Richards Poet Light Verse

Hallmark's Busy Day

Valentines consist of pleasant thoughts
They speak straight from the heart
Of cupids, arrows and turtle doves
And sweet love words that shout

From those who stutter or stumble their words 
with affection that can't be said
Such words that turn the brave to mush
can make the face turn red

We thank the ones the write the verse
and paint the cards sublime
They spell it out, without a doubt 
 to say "I'm glad you're mine!"

Carolyn Devonshire February 14, 2009 at 1:11 PM Ah, Carrie, but you ARE a "gifted romantic." Thank you for your kind words on "Too Fast for Me." My father's death has been consuming me, but I find solace in writing. Still, I cry when I pass his portrait. Such a strong and loving man he was! Carolyn

Christopher Higgins February 10, 2009 at 1:59 PM This is very beautiful Carrie. The right words can be hard sometimes to express what one truly feels....so we need to thank the poets who write the love messages.
