it was interesting to read your experience, Hollee.

I must say I have come across Helen Steiner Rice's poems on greeting cards and I have liked them.

Poet--you actually rework the ideas--key off of them or rewrite them--

and yes, the company does hold the copyright once it is sold.

Don't most of the companies keep and own your ideas, so you can't recycle them>

Actually Taps - I think you'd be quite good at it if you stick to

soft touch free prose cards like Blue Mountain Arts publish. Your poetry is quite good.

Hollee - This is very interesting and informative post. I'd never make it doing what you do but its fun to read about.

Hollee,

I'm assuming there are niche markets, too, like "death of a pet", "relocating long-lost relatives", "so sorry to hear about your loss on Jerry Springer", 'Dad, you SOB, NOW  you show up?"  (I know, I know, everybody's a comedian.
