This is my letter to the World by Emily Dickinson
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me –
The simple News that Nature told –
With tender Majesty
Her Message is committed
To Hands I cannot see –
For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen –
Judge tenderly — of Me
***
Emily Dickinson has many songs referring to letter writing. It obviously had had a part in her life, and not a small one.

The Letters by Eileen Carney Hulme
Friday, December 18th, 2009I wonder if
you keep the letters still,
spidery and blotted
now, like old days
just withered away.
I remember sunlight bursts
that inspired
those winged words,
the spirit of spaces
flying paper aeroplanes of love.
I picture us then-
a perfect summer’s night
calligraphy of stars
burning Indian fire
and I wonder if
you keep the letters still.
