Hello
“Hello”
Hello, Hello, Hello.
I say Hello to all who pass me by,
No matter the trail,
No matter how steep,
No matter the street,
It is my treat.
I say Hello,
For the smile it brings,
To the young,
To the aged,
To the lonely and the sad.
To all who pass me by.
I say Hello,
For the friend I wish to be
To

Inappropriate Advertiser's Greeting Card Image
This advertisement by ETSY is inappropriate. It depicts a greeting card of a man getting excited down there. And it crosses the line in the sand of what's decent and what's not. This picture is definitely distasteful and sexually suggestive, especially on a site that promotes its self as being family friendly.
It's like I'm visiting

A fleeting greeting
In the desolate plains,
Where nothing to be seen and nothing to be heard.
I heard a welcome dear, my spirit lifted up
To welcome my friend dear.
Oh, no heaven's mercy,
it's just the whisper of the wind.

Valentine's Day
A beautiful colorful day,
every flower greeting hellos.
I'm joyfully kissing love,
many nights.
Only polite quiet recipients,
sound true universal valentines.
Wanting xylophone youthful zeal.

The House Cat's Official Greeting to Visitors
Seeing as I live here
(I say this not in jest),
remember this is my domain,
and you are just a guest.
There is a possibility
that's fairly safe to predict:
you will definitely be sniffed
and probably be licked.
(Deal with it.)
It is not my problem
if you're a crusty grouch;
if you don't like cat hairs,
stay off the

Greeting Card Love
So sick of all the greeting card kind of love.
They never bother to say in their own words,
So I’m always wondering if they’d ever rise above
How they so follow the will of the herd’s.

HAVE A LOVELY DAY
We met a man…and Englishman…
who, when we were greeted him had this to say…
He smiled, tipped his hat then said…”Have a lovely day”.
It was a lovely sentiment…
which loses a little something on this page where only the words appear
because it was spoken in that wonderful English accent
I’m sorry you weren’t there to hear…
But if you

My Hobby
When it is time to send a greeting card
for birthdays, holidays, and more- each year,
my searching for the right one can be hard;
to make my own is personal and dear.
In my computer program- there I find
the graphic templates and poetic themes
to fashion cards appropriate and kind;
created with an inner love that beams.
Their names appear to

Greeting The Sun Struck Day
Greeting the sun struck day.
Now Unfolding myself,
Stretching out the creases,
Winking, blinking tired eyes.
Brain fog slowly ceases.
Greeting the sun struck day.
Exuberance sets in.
There, for what lies ahead.
Plan a course of action.
Decide which road to tread.
Greeting the sun struck day.
Should I take the high road,
Where fragrant plumage grows,
Or is the low road best,
Where sparkling water flows?
Greeting the

Guillutine
The arc of teeth
the rising and falling of words
Transcribing tangled knots
sayings nonsensical
Incisors gnashing
bone scrapes the blade.
Keep searching, keep searching,
they are meant to be found,
to be bound by record.
Between both pens at
the side of the skull
Is the archive of every schmuck
sentenced
To receive the cold descent
Upon the neck’s nape
that feels

Greeting
Merry Christmas my fellow poets
Makers of wonders through strokes of words
I'm thankful for another year
That's shared with you as siblings in flair
From various places we may have come
But brothers and sisters all we are
In our veins run the same blood
We're all descendants of the stars
For, we shine bright

The First Greeting From Your Eyes
I shouldn't have looked into wondrous eyes
to find a reason to comply and stay
and dance with romance beneath stars that sigh
in a fragrant-scented night, I'll obey
that your eyes so tender could hold me chained
with delicate passions burning desire
I become a prisoner that's retrained
freedom is granted to caress the fire
we'll hear the breathless breath of love

Melted Greeting Card
Minuscule marshmallows in weak cocoa
there is no taste in the heat of the South;
It should always burn the top of the mouth
and be soothed inhaling a ball of snow;
Those worn out carolers will need a jolt
so the hot air doesn’t cause them to faint;
Narcoleptic has become a poor trait,
out of tune voices
