The Letter Writer

 

I thought the art of letter

Writing had expired

That all communication now

Was transferred down a wire

 

Last night I got a pleasant shock

When sitting with a female

A pen-and-paper letter was

Replacement for an email

 

We've lost the art of so much past

To far great a degree

I pen-and-paper poem drafts

This is an art. To me

As long as you hand write your letter to Santa all will be well ?

Enjoyed this poem Don. My Grand dad was a postman as well as a playwright and he passed that art of letter writing on to my mum who in turn, gave that to me and I haven't lost it yet! Handwriting is very good for brain function in fact, and it is exciting to get an actual letter. I wrote a poem about letters a while back, must find it.

I think I'll start the 'actual letters club' next year!

Texting quick and gone
Facebook messages get forgotten
e-mails never get saved
letters can be found
paper full bottom drawer
memories read and read
of a golden age.
