For anyone who learned that love can be used to justify almost anything.

I'm a little out of practice...
The usual guff about life after death - I reckon that I must have enough for a small pamphlet by now.

I think this might be my favourite from today's crop of #poemsabout #deadletters! Witty, funny and sad all at once.

For #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters, here's a slightly crazed point of view: The Dead Letter. (*waves* to @alanparrywriter.co.uk 😁 )
The Dead Letter We keep his secret, we remaining in the alphabet. He just got weary of holding up that space between K and L. He always felt misplaced, he cried to himself in the night. His shape became… unrecognizable and after a while no one knew his name. He slipped off the page. We do not forget.

I addressed it exactly where I left you.
RETURN TO SENDER
PERSON UNKNOWN
which seems unfair.
I identified the body.

I wish I could say
how much you mattered to me
back then when I broke,
but words never arrive, and
I can't seem to say goodbye.

A little stumped by today's #PoemsAbout prompt #DeadLetters so here's quite an old poem which I think works. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the challenge. Will read and respond to other offerings later

Hi #PoemsAbout community. With apologies, I've been away for about a month, but missing you all. Trying to shake the rust off for #DeadLetters. 🙏 @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk.

#DeadLetters

In his anger, he whispers
that living with her is like inhabiting
one of her terminally unfinished epistolary novels.

He'd love her to end it.

For #PoemsAbout #DeadLetters

With much thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk
A free verse poem that talks about a lost opportunity and the inability of one to communicate with the other after meeting and the grief of hearing of their death many years later.

Dead letters
scripted in black tears
All I can see is memories
falling from a darkened sky
held in cobwebs
I can't see tomorrow
and yesterday clings to me
with sharp hooks
All I can ask for is comfort
but it is always to far from my reach

OBITUARY By Clare O'Brien I arrange the words like an oracle, Pour your thin mystery into shapes I cannot authorise. Time heals nothing; though I press release, I liberate nothing. These lines are bloodless traces, Pencil points, pressed into schoolroom paper

Happy #PoemsAbout folks, here's my quick contribution to #DeadLetters - will check back later to read others! Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #poetrycommunity
Correspondence every day of summer I wrote you a letter heartbeats hand shaking ink staining my fingers I still have them at the bottom of a box at the back of the attic I look out over the sea and wonder how this day would feel if I had posted them

Post the DMs.. before the Hogan/Thiel lawsuit, Deadspin had a feature called Deadletters where they would post all the angry emails the writers would receive.
