I’m not much of a cards player. Never have been. The idea just never really appealed to me; picking up cards from a stack and assessing their value based on a pre-determined set of rules? Where’s the fun in that? No, I enjoy much more the idea of creating your own game, with your own rules. Those require thought and creativity, a breaking from the mold and a venture into the cerebral beyond.

cards are not just art
or poetry
they convey way more meaning
than any one word
and yet
so many people throw them away

my father. Mnm’s in fourth grade. a million combinations. hours and hours of solitaire, digital, am i alone with this? loving the game but hating the way it makes me feel. attempting to shoot the moon in hearts with my uncle, and my hands are shaking shaking shaking because i feel like a fool for not pulling it off.

cards come in many forms. playing cards can be used to play games like poker, war, or simply go fish. greeting cards are bought and sent to a loved one for birthdays, anniversaries, valentines day, or what have you.

greeting cards make me happy. when i see them in the store, I smile. I am very happy on my birthdays or on holidays. I get cards on those days.
Sometimes when I am at the grocery store I will just read as many cards as I can before I have to go home. It is truly a fun hobby for me.
I like reading wedding cards the best.

THERE ARE many cards in my closet.They represent the phases of my life. From when my children were born to when I turned 40. Each card represents the important things to me.
Happy Birthdays, holidays, I love you’s do you know what you mean to me? I hope you do, I always hope you do.
Laura
I love getting card. Especially birthday cards. But last month, I threw all my old cards away. Just because I felt like it. Next to me is now no longer a full basket of happy memories, it’s all empty. But I don’t mind, memories are in your head and heart.

The Queen no longer favoured her daughter, for she was caught one Spring afternoon burning every Queen in the Royal Deck of Cards in the garden underneath a lovely lemon tree. The Queen of Hearts lives no more.

what kind of cards? playing cards? greeting cards? index cards? baseball cards, trading cards, garbage pail kids cards? In our family we never buy serious cards, life is just too short to take yourself that seriously! I wonder why not everyone understands that!
Amy
Ok well cards are kinda amazing. they can show you that somone cares. a simple card when your in the hospital makes you feel like you are going to get better!
one word represents many things with various meanings. what does one word represent? one word like life will represent countless things. one word can change. one word can create life and one word can kill it. words are powerful that effect the human brain. one word one word..don’t underestimate it

Impersonal gift. No thought is given to them, they come pre-written. where is the love in a card????
Kaylen
been here done that, a turn here and turn there, each one different in its own way, however the cards turn up, it is like the changes in life one minute up one minute down.Just like the the turn of a card, high or low or just in the middle of life.

I clutched them to my chest. You called. I sighed. I wasn’t ready to show my hand. I placed them on the table one by one: first the 10 of Hearts, then the Jack of Hearts followed by the Queen of Hearts. Next to her I placed the King of Hearts.
I paused. I had doubts. You looked at me expectantly. “We don’t have to do this.” I said. You didn’t say a thing. Your eyes glinted with a hardness that seemed unreadable. I’m not even sure who’s won. The intensity of attention – this isn’t just another game of cards is it?
I laid the Ace of Hearts down.
My cheeks burned. There on the table is the damning evidence: a royal flush.
pretty. you get cards on holidays fun fun fun. BIRTHDAY CAKEEEEEEE! yummmy. I want a taco now. Wait no I get birthday cake today yummy for me. my hands are burnt because of birthday cake :( yummm.

A card given by my mother. She is sick in bed, I know that. What else has she got with her time? Nothing. She reads, yes. She sleeps a lot. But now she writes letters. It’s all she can do to feel like she’s still here, still a part of this world she might be leaving.
Cards. They mean a lot of things. You can buy them for birthdays and other occasions and we usually don’t put much thought into them. We just say “We need to buy them a card” and throw in some money. What passion goes into this? Cards are meaningless, just a sign we have remembered and nothing else. Not that we care. I don’t like getting cards. People have been programmed to think that cards are necessary, when a meaningful phone call seems so much better – they are your words, not poetry some professional has scrawled onto a card.

I opened up a card from my sister, with three large words written on it in black ink. The letters were obscured, and all I could see was the slight scribble she had made in the upper right hand corner, surely to work the pen. The scribble looked like a smile.

cards .. business cards holiday cards identitification cards… so much of our identity is in cards. i hate time limits i always lose all my cards
diane
cards. i immediatly think of betting. playing cards, losing everything, or winning it all. what would that be like? to put your whole life at stake for a role of the dice. what if you lost everything? would you do it again if you could go back?
Someecards are teh funniest ones. THey have shit for everything. I bought my cousin Marla a book of them (Even tho she had already bought one for herself) so that she could give them out to epople for occassions. Hallmark’s not bad. That’s about it. Dollar Store cards are usually dumb. Or have too many flowers on them. I sound like I’m 6

Cards is something you give when you don’t know what else to give to someone. Because who would want cards for every events of the year? Then you’re stuck with a shit load of card and you don’t know what to do with them, you don’t want to throw them away because it would hurt somebody else’s feeling, but you also don’t want a box full of random cards.
cards come from my grandmother. she has some for every holiday and i am shocked at how many cards she has at her disposal. She just sent me a card for valentine’s day and signed it “pretty juvenile but cute nontheless” and it struck me that she must just have a catalogue of cards that she pulls from and never chooses a card specifically for me. but there is always money in it, and that is just for me. she has the most beautiful handwriting and i was talking to simon and we realized that older people have such beautiful handwriting because they never used computers and our handwriting has gotten sloppy because we are so used to the keyboard. I can type much faster now than i can handwrite and it doesn’t hurt as much. so how can we personalize type-written cards? how can we make it specific and soulful and sweet with these already created typefaces?

I made a house of cards, red cards starting with the jack of diamonds, one eyed jack of diamonds. Ending with the ace of spades, it stood for 60 seconds, you win some you lose some. SNAP

I wish I could get cards. Maybe just thinking of cards how are you cards. Post cards. No one writes anymore. No one reads anymore. Cards can help you express more than you know. I’m a writer. I express all my emotions with words. I can simple write how I feel but I can never say how I feel. && with cards Im sure I can express a lot more. Now only if I had the time.
Nikki
CARDS. Let’s PLAY CARDS! If i win, i’m rich, if i lose, the game’s invalid! We’ll play until i’m rich! OK? Cards Cards Cards. Money. I love winning.

I opened the mailbox one day , feeling unaccomplished a card read “dont forget , i love you” and that was that. Short and Simple.
cards can be greeting cards, or any other kind of cards. cards can be used to express feelings, emotion, thank somebody, wish happy birthday etc. cards bring joy to everybody in life. use cards to wish somebody today and make somebody else’s life happy.

the cards were pink and purple, a pastelly blend of everything she would believe in. she pictured the face of the recipient when reading it, and knew it was the perfect one. perfect.

finally, after weeks of negotiating, cards were thrown at the table. open. all clear. and all set. a sense of calm finally filled their hearts.
I have thrown all of my cards. The aces, the credits, all. I’m tired and weary. I don’t have Joker. Pity me. The table hasn’t been set.
