A greeting card sentiment, although it may be written in rhyme and meter,is not intended to be a poem. It is a personal message conveying a wish, compliment or greeting. Any word or expression which would sound stilted if used in an informal, friendly conversation is out of place.Sincerity and warmth are more desired than poetic flights of fancy.
