The Letter Poem by Nick Krakana

A graceful motion is exposed
From a pen that rolls

Across the page it's mission unfolds
This thought transference

From mind to paper
A sprinkling of thoughts

Like salty pepper
Were pen and paper get together

Like visions of a sailing ship upon the sea
Or steam locomotive running free

Magical motion gifted from history
Technology cannot replace
This parchment embrace

Each word put down
Without a sound

A ghostly mission

Like the paws of a great bear
Who wonders silently into thin air

Memory driven fingers exposing life
Venting out every strife

Like a wave upon the sea
Fond memories roll back to me

Happy times shared by you and me

Like a story book told
From days of old
