Two Poets | Never ending verse

Two poets | Never ending verse

Awhile ago a woman named Cathy McClanahan called me to share that she likes to verse just like me!  She has a business making custom made greetings cards, including her original verse.  We decided to play a game and verse back and forth to each other.  I have her permission to share what we have “so far”.  My words are in black and Cathy’s are in pink.

I got a call from this woman
all the way from Tennessee
She said that she makes cards
with verses just like me.

So we’re forming an alliance
in which we each will play our part,
to create a “first” in history
co-written from our hearts.

two poets who love to verse
and share with others a gift
not a dark, contemplative poem
but some words that will uplift.

For any given situation
For anyone who’s special to you,
We will create a custom greeting
Like Hallmark could never do!

It’s funny you would say that
I compare myself to Hallmark
But our direct, personal touch
gives our verse an added spark-

If you met down by the river,
Or were attracted by his silly grin,
As soon as he reads the verse,
He will know it’s meant just for him!

You can talk about the things
that only you will understand
not like a store bought card
or an expression that is canned.

Let someone know they’re “special”
Thank another for being “kind”,
insert a cute little nickname.
you can totally blow their mind!

Whether you are the best man
or perhaps the frantic bride
you get to edit the work
on the final draft you decide
