 ~*Margaret Diana Tindal*~ Each of us write for a reason it shouldn't surprise you that mine is to be a Hallmark poet catching your heart up in my rhyme~ My words placed in an envelope reaching you in your time of need Read with anticipation of the growth of my poetic seed~ I want the mere four ninety-five plunked down in Hallmark's checkout line To know the words I wrote for you say just what you may want to find~ Let me be a Hallmark poet while my ears can still hear your praise Long before I am forced to be buried deep in the demised grave~ A Hallmark look-a-like, you see, is what I truly wish to be Not dusty books upon a shelf with unread pages of myself~ Stamp me with a Hallmark logo it is what I would wish so true Let my words dance within your heart gifting, perhaps, a sigh to you~ If you like me enough to share my comforting words with a friend Then I have made my mark on earth no matter when there comes the end~ **Absolute shameless use of Hallmark's logo** (But I'm sending them a copy of the poem) ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

May Hallmark grant you your wish! ~ and before you return Home to the Big Sky!  Your poetry is definitely worthy of that hallmark! Loving Light, EA |

Margaret Diana, methinks you already are better than any Hallmark poet!  Maybe by sending them a copy, they will see just what they're missing. Love ya, Nancy ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |

Or you could always start your own greeting card company and surpass Hallmark as #1! Good luck, Marge!  sky I hope someday you get the chance to live like you were dying.... |

You know something, I think I like this idea. It'd make a great post in "Poetry Challenge," as I can imagine many of our PiPTalk members coming up with some fantastic variations on this theme. On second hand, I don't think you're after a whole lot of competition. Great poem, by the way.Brian "To me, the thing that art does for life is to clean it, to strip it to form." |

Marge, I thought you were a HALLMARK poet. I look for you each time I buy a card thinking...someday I will be able to turn to the person next to me and exclaim, "I know this writer"! I sincerely hope your wish comes true so that mine can too. INclan |

I have enjoyed you far more than any Hallmark card. Maybe you should start your company .. hmmm ... Starmark cards! Thank you for making me smile and if you do start that company, may I submit my application to write for you? Great poem -- aziza |

I was reading a Hallmark card a few weeks ago, and I was surprised that it expressed the words of regret that were in my heart for my ex-wife...things I always wanted to say to her, but didn't think the time was right or couldn't get them out...and my son just happened to be visiting from California...so I ask him to deliver it...don't have any idea if she'll value it...but it spoke from my heart...most of the time I can't find the card with the right words...so I buy the blank ones and write my own...I was really blessed that day to find a perfect Hallmark card...and you Marge would make a perfect writer for Hallmark...James |
