Care Enough To Write The Very Best

I want unusual greeting cards. Cards for things like the mourning of your dead pet, or congratulations on your 1 week anniversary. Be creative. Those were examples, come up with your own. I want to laugh, roll my eyes, etc.


****** IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED TWO POEMS, PLEASE STOP! OR MAYBE CONSOLIDATE THEM, I REALLY WANT TO SPREAD THE LOVE (AKA, POINTS) , SO PLEASE, JUST 2. NOT 23, 2. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS POETRY, PLEASE JUST 2. TWO. DOS. NO MORE.**************

Guidelines
1) Poems must be tight and clean. No extra words, no misspellings and no gobbledygook.
2)They must fit on a greeting card, so no excessively LOOOONNNGGG poems.
3)They must successfully communicate emotion as well as their subject.
4)They can be what ever style you like to write in, they don't have to be metered,
I like all poems, as long as they are well written.

Enjoy! I am putting up a bunch of points! I WANT new poems, but if you have already written an unusual greeting card, then you can enter it.

BE WARNED I will delete any poem that has nothing to do with this contest!

    Would you consider allowing one new and one PW per entrant? I have one I wrote a while ago that I'd love to enter... If you OK multiples be sure note that only one of each is allowed otherwise you'll get flooded
