Poetry & Prose by Carol J Forrester
He would use words like enrapture.
Written in ink with a kick to each last letter of a word.
She tried to copy his style in response, but a biro only affords you so much flair and the fountain pen wouldn’t obey her hands.
But he was still charmed, delighted, enthralled by her words; captivated by her in a way no one else could match.
At least that was what the correspondents said.

Nice one Carol, I agree words can be enthralling and attract a lot of attention.
The power of the pen…and human nature.

You bring the memory of the delight to rest a fountain-pen on paper and let it run over…
Now, keys are not that charming, no matter how clean and soft the keyboard is!
A very nice tale, even if you do not trust correspondents much! 🙂
Thank you for the comment back in October. It seems that there are a series of comments that somehow slipped past me, my apologies.
