Hello my friends of Verse and dVerse,

Today it’s your chance to link up any one poem of yours. It could be an old poem that maybe has not received the right attention, it may be a poem you have rewritten (or updated), or it could of course be a totally new poem.

Maybe you have missed one of our recent or old prompts or if you prefer you can use this week’s miniprompt.

With times changing and listening a lot to history podcasts I thought about the writing and reading of letters. Personally I have always struggled with letter writing, and I remember sitting with a blank piece of paper trying to write a thank you letter to my grandmother for my Christmas gifts. 

I realize this is a lost craft, but when we study history we realize that apart from court-documents it is our most valuable source of information about time passed. Today we have gone from letters to emails into chats to communicate, and I wonder if all will be lost in the future. 

The Letter by Mary Cassatt

You can do whatever way you want with this prompt,

You may write an epistolary poem as been prompted before by Sanaa or by Punam

You may explore a messenger thread from your phone or you may even write an ekphrastic poem to the picture above.  

But as usual with OLN you may link up any one poem of your liking to Mr Linky

Please read and comment on as many as you can on the poems and take part in the discussions below.
