Letters Never Sent

Visual Prompt by The Mag


Letters
A whole shoebox of them
forgotten.

Letters
written and received
some never sent.

Letters
from Dad at war
lovers and friends away.

Letters
of anger and confusion
written but not sent.

Letters
to whom it may concern
an unbound journal.

Letters
of my life
forgotten in a box.

  4. Letters-- the lost art and fodder for so many biographies. We are losing a written art.

  5. We all have them, and it's sad that they are forgotten in a box.
