Best Cards Poems

Around since 1885,
These playing cards contain
A fascinating history
That Google helped obtain.

My favorite fact’s from World War II.
(It’s more than rumored lore.)
Some special decks were sent as gifts
To prisoners of war.

These U.S. soldiers, held in camps
In Germany, did learn
That moistening the cards would yield

Just children with their homemade card
Brought so much joy when I was down.
I was so sick my heart was scarred,
Just children with their homemade card.
To show their love, it was not hard,
Their love to me a peaceful gown.
Just children with their homemade card
Brought so much...

when dealt with past dealings they are
let go and depression can’t pull to drown
In the present you live you are

The plans for...

Should it happen that someday they're seeking struggling bards,
To compose witty verse for Hallmark Thanksgiving cards,
I think that I should like to summarily submit,
The following mots for consideration, TO WIT:

(1) Savor the oyster dressing, giblet gravy and thigh,
The sweet pertaters, green bean casserole and punkin...

Everyone needs a gold psychedelic prejudice card.
A PP card to carry that shows whether they are an auto-demi-dog  or republi-cat
A PP card that says whether they are a liberal or a permissive, a pinko,
or a fundamentalist right-wing-bird.
This all-knowing PP card could instantly tell us...

 Nothing stays the same, fragrant flowers fade, 
cloaked in shame, am I to take the blame? 
when rainbows abandon colors,
twisting pristine purple into pale grey vapor. 
Masks eventually slip and cards of lies unfold~
reversed angels, orchestrating cruel charades.

(*Glossy and costly! Family name imprinted,(as if we did not want know 
their first and last names? And surely no verse allowed!*)

Sat here looking thru a stack
Of every I love you you gave
And I thank God for the good times 
Specially now you’ve gone away

First a birthday then a Christmas 
You never missed a single one 
Now every folded memory culminates 
With me wishing you weren’t...

This year will be different 
I'm going to start something new 
I'm not buying you presents 
Wait and see what I'll do

Those gifts from the past
Are now sitting in trash
The cards I picked out
Held more than just cash

Certificates and gift cards
Meant nothing to you
Your face...

when winter woke and dealt its hand
it froze the heart of cumberland
as icy air dispersed in spades
to twist and cut like razor blades.

small pools of water turned to glass
to shine like diamonds in the grass
while freezing sprays from waterfalls
formed icicles on wet stone walls.

when nature's...

She rode barefoot on her 
unicorn all through her house.
Had lunch with Greek wine and her Muse, 
but of course!
Read  her Tarot cards and knew
her world  was alright.
Saw her aura in the mirror and
kissed her cat~a sweet goodnight.
