Letters
Once upon a time we sent letters for a dime
Letters of joy from a girl to a boy
Soldiers pining for girlie sighing
Applications for situations
Young lover’s declarations
Letters of madness or of sadness
Words of Poetry or made up stories
Smart, intellectual or just plain boring
Letters of thanks to greedy banks
For giving you a loan to keep your home
Letters from Aunts that lived in France
Letters of gratitude in advance
Strokes on paper of every hue
Ink in black, red or blue
Filled with words rambling long
Some short and direct the spelling wrong
Scribbles or strokes, photos of folks
Now we perch upon a chair
Our eyes will squint from computer glare
One click away from the news of the day
A stupid joke, a facebook poke
The Postie dismayed at his day
His satchel slim letters so thin
Newspapers and flyers in the bin
Sometimes Oldies wave hello
Have a chat before he goes
Retrieve their post they treasure most
To sit and read a special letter
The thought the effort is always better
Poem by Wendy Norman (Seafarrwide)
