Lost Letters
For Poppy's Prompts #5 - May
For Poppy's Prompts #5. Words: paint, erode, envelope, descend, wind
---
Painted thoughts erode
in wind-battered envelopes;
while love remains lost,
and our future descends into the same frozen void
as those letters you say you never received.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Wow!😵… this such an emotive poem which seamlessly interweaves the random word prompts.✅
Damn this hit hard. Made me think of The Notebook. "Love remains lost" was a heartbreaking line and that ending was so solid. I adored this Cathy.
Love this. I wrote a story along these lines for the Misplaced challenge 😁👍
You've nicely written it.
Beautiful Cathy
That last line was brutally brilliant! Great use of Poppy’s words!
Love this!!!💕❤️❤️
Awesome writing my dear friend.
Gosh this was so poignant and those last two lines especially hit me so hard! Loved your poem so much!
So very lovely and tragic. The idea of love not just lost but misplaced is powerfully rendered here. Really well done, Cathy!
So good!
Nicely done.
