Letters..... Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The first drop of ink that I used
The first time to write a letter to a friend
A childhood friend of my age
But was not sent a reply, I remember
Still I feel happy, that I wrote a letter
In an inland card, without envelope
I used to write letters there after
The letters that I thought as precious
To make the friendly feelings
To convey the greetings on auspicious days
A single letter I received kept as a treasure
In fact the treasure of another man's mind
That I receive in post a valuable letter
But today the end of the era of letters there
Only messages in mobiles or phone calls.
