About my free verses for cards

Welcome to my blog of free verses for cards.
Most of us appreciate a nice greeting card don't we, & a lot of us prefer to have a verse inside the card too. The problem is, we don't always want the verse that comes with the card. We perhaps like the card front, but want to change the inner verse. You can do that with the cards in my store, but what if you can't compose your own greeting card verse? There are lots of verses for cards on the internet, but many of them are the copyright of the verse composer.
Here on my blog, verses for cards for free, I have composed all of them myself, so you need have no worries about intellectual copyright.
The only thing I ask, is that if you want to use a free verse commercially, please contact me first so that I know where it's going to be used.
If you do use one of my free verses, it would be nice if you would bookmark my blog, or better still, put a link on your blog, website or social networking page!
Here's the first of the free verses, and I will be adding more regularly, so please pop back & check it out.

Funny chicken verse for oldies

Life is like a chicken...
When young, we clucked around,
Just posing, preening, showing off,
We laughed, we played, we clowned.
As middle age descended,
We slowed, we squawked a bit,
So, no more getting broody,
The carcass not so fit.
Now, old age is with us,
Grim Reaper's finger crooked,
The chicken's now a tough old bird,
And well & truly plucked!

Know any oldies that might get a laugh from this one?

Love at our age verse

Hope you enjoy this free verse about love at our age.
Designed to speak for all older lovers out there...

Who says at our age, love must fade?
Who says we can't be lovers?
This is our life,
We're free to fly,
And can't is just for others.

Free birthday verse about over indulging

Here's a funny free verse that's ideal for a relative or friend's birthday card...

Drinking on your birthday,
Can decimate your liver,
Eating chocs & candy,
More weight will soon deliver,
Cup cakes, pie & ice cream,
Could really make you ill,
So, better not be tempted eh,
Although, I'm sure you will!

A Mother's plea, free greeting card verse

This heartfelt verse about an ageing Mother, will resound with many of us children out there.

A Mother's Plea ...
As I sit within this chair,
Who do you see as you stand there?
Greying hair & eyes now dim,
Beauty gone & frail of limb,
But come with me down memory lane,
When I am just a girl again,
Tripping the dance floor, oh so light,
Never a care, my world was bright.
Boyfriends knocking at my door,
Yes, this I had & so much more,
Please spare a little thought for me,
I'm not exactly what you see,
I am your Mom, and still the same,
It's just old age that is to blame,
Now, when you leave & close the door,
Remember this, not what you saw.
