Faster smoother communication
Texts flying freely in the air
But somewhere eerily dying the relation
Bred when you could just silently stare!
Gone are the years of shy look and snail mail
A distance of time-space that fanned it intense
The words though now are buzzing like gale
With the wind comes not the romance’s incense!
Flew away the time them now would never know
Of waiting in hushed noon for the mailman’s bell
Running the fingers in the warmth of a blue glow
With the lovelorn heart in pursuit of a fairytale!
The era of the snail mail seems to be fading, but I truly hope that it survives. Lovely composition.

A wonderful poem on handwritten letters that used to come through 'snail mail' in the 'hushed noon'. Miss those days! 10/10. My poem 'Long Letters, Short Messages' is written on similar lines.
