To me,
Remember to hide the cigarette packets and whiskey bottles before Grandma comes to visit.

Sporadically yours,
Forethought



To me,
Have you noticed how, if you squint, the blossom looks like gold-and-pink clouds miles above you? What kind of a world would be underneath that?

Whimsically yours,
Imagination



To me,
That-comma-is-wrong-that-sentence-needs-splitting-that-paragraph-break-shouldn't-be-there-oh-just-get-the-red-pen.

Pedantically yours,
Editor



To me,
Please consume something other than booze today. We're thinking of forming a union if things don't change soon.

Long-sufferingly yours,
Vital organs



To me,
Coo-ee! Your wardrobe is open and your cat could crawl in and get stuck and I bet you left the oven on and crikey you've put on weight and why would he love you?

Slyly yours,
Paranoia



Dear guys,
Please, please, please shut up for ten fucking minutes so I can sleep.

Exhaustedly yours,
Me.

Hehe. Work in progress for =mode-de-vie's Dear Pen Pal Contest

Critiques


:iconshufflng:
Easy critique. Form follows function. Each note, each pen-pal-letter-to-self has a self-encompassing description from whoever/whatever it may have come from. Each personified action keeps its proper voice throughout and each is as effective as the last. It's a pretty cookie-cutter, and it's effective. There is humor and sentiment throughout the entire poem, which brings the harsh reality all of the mentioned pen-pals have on us on a regular basis, but at the same time makes it very comfortable to deal with; the same way we feel comfortable enough to live with the pen-pals on that same regular basis. More excellent poetry.

You remind me of the babe.

The babe with the power.
What power?
The power of Voodoo.
Who do?

~the dried tears from her silent cries stained her skin, the wall that she put up scattered through her mind, one who feels so empty will never feel whole again~

haha...pretty humourous.

Married to the pen,
and we're both having an affair
with the page.
:iconshufflng:
Reminds me of the reference portion of statements, as something that reminds of something else when changed is now clever, yet that singular portion remains.

Yours.

I never thought about "yours" so much as when I started writing letters again. Whose exactly am I? Well, in all cases of salutation, I'm yours.

I can't get lost, I don't know why..
:iconkatesaidhi:
