An Ode to the Greeting card
For the Valentine's day
The messengers of feelings
With heartfelt little greetings
Encourage Cupid's dealings
However fleeting.
Their bodies stamped with glitter,
Their hearts filled with confessions.
In days becoming litter—
An ode to passing passions.
Declaring love with paper,
Three words are printed clear,
For no love can be safer
Than paper souvenir.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Nothing so fleeting as a paper promise of love! Lovely poem as and indictment as Shawn pointed out, Salome! Good luck with the challenge!
Well done, both an ode and an indictment.
Love this. Great work.
