Postcards... From the Mists of Time
Poppy’s February Prompts: #2
To,
Dear Mum,
Yes… I arrived safely!
A picturesque postcard captured the
Spectacularly steep zig-zag street in San Francisco
Selection pored over… a gem unearthed from amid the gravel.
Excitement fizzes, adrenaline surges, laughter bubbles…
It’s the start of my long-awaited overseas travel!
Cramped writing smudged by the hand
One exotic stamp affixed hastily…
In the mailbox it does land.
Mother Dear waits…
Patiently.

Why????
Just phone….
Or text… or use Internet!
No fear! The phone was too dear!
And, stretching way back into the mists of time…
Those other communication marvels weren’t invented yet!
Oft, the holiday winged more swiftly than the mail
Intrepid traveller warmly welcomed home
In time to greet the precious
Picturesque postcard.
A souvenir
Kept!
