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

I'd post you a letter but WOL doesn't support this mode
Sorry
?
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.

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