Receive one poem a month in the mail!

We don’t get fun mail anymore! It’s always bills or reminders of doctor’s appointments or bank statements. How boring! Have you ever had a pen pal? Have you ever received a written letter from a loved one just because? If you have then I am certain you know the rush of excitement when ripping open the envelope to see what words are forming inside. It feels more special because you know the process one had to go through just for that letter to enter your mailbox on that day.

It’s a moment that slows down time, and places us calmly in our seats. There’s warm coffee on the desk near us as we consume every word on this tangible piece of paper that we will inevitably store in some shelf in our desk.

And one gloomy day, when we’ve finally summoned the energy to clean out our desk, we will sift through our papers and slide down on the floor next to our bed as we reintroduce these words we have read so long ago.

THIS is the idea! That once a month you will be excited to receive mail! Anticipating that special day when your typewritten poem makes its way to you. Hoping that the words on the paper will bring forth a smile, a tear, an idea, or just a moment of clarity. There will be something special about being apart of the “Poetry Society” knowing that others are ripping open the envelope and indulging in these words too. Will it provoke similar thoughts? Will it strum the same heart strings? I don’t know. Maybe you’ll never know. But through this poem, you and some strangers will be connected through the magic of words coming together. Words that have some meaning to offer.

So. What do you say? Will you join the society?

I hope you do :)

We need more of what is real in our modern lives.
