“Writing letter
A forgotten art
Only used for
Business act.
Letters written
Recorded memories
Always remained
For generations.
Will those days
Ever come back?
Will the mailbox
Smile again?”
(T. Chandrupatla in Mailbox today)

“I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin’
Saying I don’t know when I’ll be comin’ back again
It depends on how I’m a-feelin’”

- What has been left
“Going to him! Happy letter! Tell him —
Tell him the page I didn’t write;
Tell him I only said the syntax,
And left the verb and the pronoun out.”
(E. Dickinson in The letter)
