A Letter To Me
Innocent in it's creaminess lying there
Packaged tightly in it's little square
Neatly scribed in the darkest ink
What could it say? it made me think!
All those I knew used electronic means,
To get in touch, or so it seemed,
Everything they used made some noise
Phones buzzing or shrilling, impossible to avoid!
But this novel missive sent to me,
Posed something of a mystery
Gingerly I fingered the little square,
Still wondering stupidly, what's in there?
I tore the triangular seal apart
Felt the quickening of my heart,
Words blurry on a creamy, milky sheet,
Slowly formed till they were clear and neat,
I slowly read what was on that page
Words that will stay with me for an age,
Words that are meant just for me
So my letter will remain my mystery,
A secret letter, I like that! Sounds like the beginning of a novel maybe. I especially liked the image of 'words blurry on a creamy, milky sheet' thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethe photo is lovely with the old red seal. "words meant just for me"... :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this, Kez. You worked some suspense into this poem. I wanted to see 'what's in there.' Wonderful to have words that are meant just for you, isn't it? And presented to you in such a nice way!
ReplyDeletehaha a little mystery is a good thing...esp in romance you know....smiles....like how you set that suspense and def leave us wanting more...smiles...
ReplyDeleteA mystery letter ... what a clever response to the prompt! I loved it.
ReplyDeleteTantalizing--thought you would reveal what was in the secret letter! Very clever. It flows well too.
