 The Hallmark Man Visited My Backyard He brought his little bag of tricks and through the night, began to flick from his little bag of treats a landscaped scene so very neat ~ one sees upon a Christmas card, what transpired in my backyard… early, early this morning riser, little sleep doesn’t leave me wiser but see the dreamscape set, and more! ‘cause the Hallmark man came at four and set before me such a scene yes, it was a vision’s dream… Fall’s colors covered my earth’s floor crystal sprinkles covered them more with little light, the sparkling set before my eyes, beauty, met and all I could think as I opened the door was that “the Hallmark man came the night before…” ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 11/11/00 revised 11/28/01 slightly revised 12/12/02 |

Karilea, the "Hallmark Man' comes to our computer screens every time your poems appear on them....or so it seems....  "Love makes the world go around" |

nicely done... but I find the Halmark Man in my backyard he's likely to get dog bit... they don't care much for strangers... (chuckling) |

Wonderfully imaginative write...I wonder what would happen if both the Hallmark Man and Jack Frost turned up in your backyard.. believe in what your heart feels... |

Nothing makes the Fall spark Nothing paints the Fall park Or puts some life in Fall dark As doth the man from Hallmark Fall for me is burning leaves and roasting wieners in the fire. That is what your poem brought to me. Thank you. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
