Theme Thursday: the given word
fear
Might set off for a good idea
Ought not to harbor a fear
Thoughts of hand-written letters
Extended to friends and neighbors
Used to receive the snail mail
But then email came into style
The mailbox was now pretty empty
It enhanced a sense of sobriety
Sitting with a book in the hands
Reading the old fashioned way again
One could walk to the record-shop
To enjoy a run of old tunes of sorts
Certainly a fun way to be happy
To counter the rot of being sedentary

Surely not like that anymore. I've seen some old record stores still open though.
ReplyDeleteNot much snail mail these days
ReplyDeleteIt's still good to recieve a letter through the post in these days of emails and text messages.

Now and again I write a letter with my trusty pen and ink. It feels good. What with Kindles, Spotify, email and social media, things ain't what they used to be!
