lost art ofnletter writing

the lost art of letter writing
surreptiously filled out during econs lectures 
and once even during a geography exam 

updating ones friends 
of the day's events
observations on teachers, 
friends the self the interior self

that art of putting together a series of thoughts that mattered at that moment in writing with a signature 

how it kept us going thru jc and uni days 
unlike now, where every thought can be tweeted, every memorable moment captured on Instagram with  a caption 
gone is the art of sustained composition of thoughts and feelings meant for an intimate audience of 1

that 1 person who received your handwritten letter
no one else would get exactly test ever, 


oh an for every  art there is disart  that of the poison pen letter! but that is not something I miss
