Quickegreets
As a long time poet my heart sweat blood tears spirit and soul as with lives of many I've met helped and touched lies within these poems
All poems are fully registered copyright to myself via three established UK registered charities strictly not for copy or paste use any where else on the Internet
All greeting cards ecards poems are "free to send" from and using our own URL's only at our web site right here. Linking to web pages is fine and welcomed but direct linking to all content from other web sites is disabled
Many of the poems and verses found here, are written while working formerly with charitable organisations this is where the original copyright first originated from. I used to write for various charities and families in crises
I'm a "published poet in the UK and USA" with endless various works, across many varied agencies charities and publishers globally and have been writing poetry for over 38 years now
Many poems have been used in published material or journals at one time or another. Many through lectures concerning family support and various numerous, associated and related self-help forums where ever a poem has been published in a book we include the book ISBN numbers (ISBN = international standard book number)
In November 1998 as our local home web site popularity increased, we added some nice java applets to the poems converting them into online greeting cards. But this was only via continued request and demand of online friends, who were sending the poems and verses, out to their online friends, as actual greeting cards
The poems graphical look is best viewed with Microsoft Explorer
To make all web sites web pages on any web site look much nicer in appearance, if you are using Microsoft's web browser (there is a similar setting in most browsers) if you go to Tools Internet Options Advanced look for a box saying underline links. If you check this to hover all the underlines on the actual links disappear, and only show as you move your mouse across them. Makes the Internet look a nicer place overall
History
What ever you read on this site, is direct from the heart, and inspired from my own or someone else and their direct life's experience. Where does the inspiration come from? Maybe Angels fairies those in heaven former poets, empathy for others a heart knowing love pain and suffering and wisdom other than that it's God or Jesus driving inspiration
The Just Because categories are manly pages of, "simple sweet thought", inspired and provided by inspiration of every day Internet users - right through to the very rich and famous, (all throughout history). These particular categories were also, only added by our visitors personal requests
People across the world, have indeed been married and many hearts and lives touched, as result of the words and pages within stored on this web site
Life itself should be about, our own personal effort towards "leaving little footprints" heart imprints in other folks. If you're doing as such, then you're on the right road in Life's journey
This is "NOT" a business nor a moneymaking organisation although as a poet I am self employed and struggling financially. We don't force you to suffer countless pop ups across the site, 2007 we changed and added advertising to help greatly with running costs
The sole revenue earned is from the Affiliates programmes that allow you to send a page/poem/ecard freely, and generate revenue from your website. Google AdSense.. The odd occasional advert is from folk kindly paying for text ads
Sometimes it's a real struggle financially, but living the dream to be recognised as a poet somewhere in the world of poetry, is sadly a hard one to travel. It's sad but known that many poets are only recognised long after deaths passing has took them away to be a potential muse
We only ask that you may choose to share our web pages with friends family and loved one’s, simply so our work may be shared with countless others
Today what visitors request, we try to provide. We do indeed listen to our visitors. Currently there are nearly 10,000 pages for you to enjoy across our three web sites. All Pages are made using a program called edit pad pro very similar to notepad, but this one opens and edits saves multiple pages and documents all in one go with one click
I split the site by visitor request way back in time, there is also a separate more mature site that hold all our funny poems poetry ecards and greeting cards
.
The Walk of Life started out on a "Tripod.co.uk" web site a long time ago, then moved to "Angelfire" where as netscape.com was the original home of the just because cards. Back in those days the daily visitor totals were indeed spectacular due to there not being that many free greeting card web sites to be found online across the world
But, with so many changes made to the Internet over all those years, we eventually merged the two sites, and have had to move into a domain, with a company, which offers both our selves and visitors a truly superb service
So we have to rely on the assistance of our visitors to point out any missed typing errors we may have made. As we truly use no fancy program nor spell checker, to make any of the poems cards or verses
There are NO forced pop-ups jumping out at you, anywhere on this web site, and most certainly, "none" that will open new browser windows "without" your own given consent, and advertising as mentioned, is blended nicely across the sites so as not to be obtrusive to visitors
As no one forced you to visit this web site and considering that this is a "totally FREE to use SITE", please remember this, before making complaint. Using the Internet does not give any visitor the given right to be demanding or critical to any web master or web site. Many webmasters today truly appreciate visitor etiquette, via email
I'm always seeking any new publishers too, not those who want me to pay them, we poets are well educated in publishing issues thank you. I can supply sound backing as to the potential evident from endless visitor requests and comments across our three sites
Any publisher asking a poet to up front and part with their cash is not interested in them or their work, just their money. As with poetry competitions, asking you pay for entry most are a scam. You yourself could organise and run these honestly and make profit. Beware as many free competitions will also abuse your talents and work then try and sell you books and prizes simply not worth having
Permission for personal use copy reproduction publication the placing of the poems on any other web, site memorial site or use by craft home card makers is strictly "not" granted under any circumstances, for any other use please clearly define specify and ask
We use Plagiarism Detector
(You should read the copyright warning before ignoring this). All visitor IP's are logged with our and their own ISP's servers. Every thing placed on any web page, any web site or server, is quickly shown in nearly all search engines. Any individual or company found using our poems for personal financial gain or profit will face legal prosecution and as with new copyright laws of 2006 2007 imprisonment
The Poet WebMaster Poem.
We sit at computers
endless day after day,
Writing and typing
as life slowly goes by.
We sit at computers,
can you guess just why,
That God in his Wisdom
inspires us to write.
We sit many hours,
passing time all the while,
Knowing in the world,
many folk need to smile.
We wish only for the world
all people, therein,
To know they're loved
from our hearts within.
