Cursive Writing
In an era of today’s technology, evolves neglect of writing by hand
And schools focus on futures of new projects they need to manned
We have no need of stationary, for everything goes by email
No remembrance or need of touch, to share our love through mail.
How very sad to become the robots we now have become
And forgetting the feel of love, in mail it once did come
Those of us who remember the beauty that writing can be
Can now use cursive writing as coded messages for others to see.

Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge which was started by our star writer Christine Ray. We hope to offer all of you something that will spark your creativity and willingness to participate.
Today’s prompt: Write a piece of prose or poetry around the words cursive, touch, and forget
So come join in on the fun and see what your creative juices can do. And as always…remember to be kind in all you do.
Love this. You explicate the tragedy of cursive dying well. Admittedly, I’m thankful for email. My penmanship is god-awful. Hahaha.
Beautifully piece, or should I say beautifully penned? 😉

LOL. Thanks. I look back at old letter from my grandmothers era and the hand writing was an art. I too have horrible penmanship but the feel and touch of a card in the mail has a special place in all of our hearts.

You’re right Anita, the art of writing by hand, specially in cursive is disappearing fast.
