A letter to mommy



You left so suddenly,

My dear,

That probably forgot

To leave an address.



Where should I write

you then?

Would the angels

be able to find you

Among the saints?

Would “Heaven”

Suffice as destination

For a letter sent?



I fear you’re not receiving

My letters.

So many have been sent

Already.

And not a reply

I get from you.



You seem to be so far away…

I miss you, mama.

To talk to you is my desire.

How shall I reach you?



Prompt: Write a poem to one of the following:

a. a friend

b. an enemy

c. someone who is dead

d. a stranger

e. a celebrity

You can use the title to indicate the recipient of the letter. Or, the formal greeting of the letter might be the first line of the poem.



P.S. mine is option "c"
