There is something magical about getting an actual card or letter in the mail; it was wonderful when that was the only way to get mail, and it is now, when there are other, faster ways to write to people.
Today's poem on my blog, simply titled "Friendship," was written before email and texts, and conjures up the magic of a deeply felt message to a friend in pain.
This prompt asks that you read this poem for inspiration and then write a piece that describes writing to someone important to you; it could be a friend, but it could also be a boss, a crush, a parent, a celebrity, a grandchild, or even a figure from history.
If visual art is what you are up for today, what can you make of one or more of the images/details in Lucien Stryk's poem?
Have fun and drop me a line sometime!
