Often pictures, mostly prose
How do they choose what they expose -
The births and dogs and college choices,
Sports awards, cherubic voices;
Kids are perfect, health is great,
One has found the ideal mate;
They’ve travel to some scenic dell
Or sometimes had the trip from hell;
New grandparents who boast out loud
That reproduction makes them proud;
It’s not all joy, sometimes there’s doubting,
True confessions, subtle outing;
She’s been hurt and he’s addicted,
Painful cries of souls conflicted;
Death of hamsters, flushed goldfishes
Mixed in with the holiday wishes -
These letters, yearly rights of pen,
Are Facebook for the older gen.

ReplyDeleteOften prefer free verse, but the rhyme and rhythm work really well!
