these small playful characters
are veteran travellers
sounds in every shape
linguistic landscapes
my alphabetic actors
making paper every day
some will go and some will stay
delivered by Sir Snail
a mountain of mail
home after their holiday
they flew by air; sailed by boat
carried by a mountain goat
thrown from bag to bag
“snail mail is a drag”
said the effable e-note’
those small playful characters
conquer cyber barriers
uniting in words
tweeting like the birds
my alphabetic actors.
Written for Writing 201: Poetry. Day 2 – Journey, Limerick, Alliteration.
Inspired by: It was my turn to log the returned mail in the office today. I started to wonder the journey the envelopes had been on… and that’s how interesting logging returned mail is.
Hope you enjoy xxx
