A Christmas antique postcard,
beautiful with edges marred,
carrying a faint tobacco scent,
deep, rich with a hint of a classy gent.
Elegant with his looping bent,
font in midnight black,
gracefully decorates the sepia.
hued card,
Impresses a tale of nostalgic love,
jolting me back in time where
keeping connected with the ones you
loved, was a treasured act of writing.
Meaningful musings,
never leaving a blank space
on the fated snowflake card full of grace.
Poetic sugary words of
quintessential love
radiate through this timeless postcard,
sending Christmas wishes.
Talking about their romantic tryst
under the Mistletoe,
very daring during the holiday show.
White hot passion vibrates through these words, as
zealous as Santa flying through the sky or the
xylophone’s bright chime.
Young in spirit, old in hand,
zips me through to another time, Christmas love, from my old grand.

Lovely picture you paint with your words. I prefer getting these postcards compared to emails.
Oh my! This postcard really nails that vintage Christmas magic! The mix of nostalgic romance and old-school charm, complete with the faint scent of tobacco and the graceful handwriting, just transports you. It’s like a time capsule filled with love, passion, and the joy of the season—straight from your grand’s holiday past. So cozy and timeless!✨😊
This was so nostalgic, touching and wonderful! Loved your Abecedarian!
Wonderful poem full of warmth and nostaligia. I miss those times!
Well-wrought! Physical letters were a treasure, and likely more treasured on account of their scarcity, at least relative to today's neverending wall of emails!
Beautiful poem of keeping connected with the ones you love. Well done!!
