Our Lost Treasure Trove Comments

A very fine poem. Well crafted and executed. +++10 Robert

Great minds think alike, Khairul. : -)

I think everyone of our generation misses and pines for those golden scripts encased within a postal cover or drafted in cursive hand on a blue coloured inland letter....! Seeing the postman was a happy omen...! I remember the days of our temporary separation soon after marriage...! Now when Christmas or New Year comes, the one thing I miss most is cards from friends and dear ones! Today emails and SMS have stolen the treasure trove of endearing words! A great write.... I too join you in your lament!

Great poem. Fantastic write! !

@ Heather Wilkins, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I sadly miss those days when a letter used to come with unbounded joy. I too used to take great care to pour out my heart when responding to those beautiful letters.

@ Elena Plotkin, Thanks for your comments. Will 'Letters Vs. SMS' be a better title?

letters seem to be a thing of the past. In our busy every day life there is just not enough time. well expressed

@ Noreen Carden, Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and for appreciating my poem. Very kind. I hope young men will pay heed to your advice and go the way you told. But the young lovers of today seem to have forgotten how to write. They know how to send a number of text messages in a very quick time, with abridged words and unconventional abbreviations.

Hello Khairul there will never be anything better than a love letter i urge all young men if they want to win a girls heart sitting down to write a letter is the way to go. Great poem well done

@Valsa George, Outdated habit? Habits die hard! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughtful comment. I am inspired.

@ Susan Lacovara, Thank you. Handwritten letters stay in the heart laden with lots of kisses, e mails stay in the computers and SMS messages stay in the cell phone sets only. The latter two are hardly re-read. The former is read again and again just to feel the touch of the heart.

@ Lonnie Taylor, You haven't seen those days, yet yo appreciated my poem so kindly. Thank you so much!

So true! With SMS and emails in vogue, the delight of reading a letter, sealed in an envelope is gone! How we miss all those handwritten letters! ! A beautiful poem on an an outdated habit! ! Enjoyed much! !

Long Letters, Short Messages is truly one of my new favorites! ! ! I still send long handwritten letters, to this day, to those I love..so I can really appreciate the sentiment herein. It is an intimate part of the heart, holding pen in hand, to spill your soul unto a crisp white page, that awaits a poet's kiss.....PEACE

@ Pradip Chattopadhyay, Thanks for the kind words. I am inspired.
