Postcards and memories

The challenges this year are certainly some of the most creative received thus far!

Today, we are to draft a prose poem in the form/style of a postcard. As travelling is one of my absolute favourite things to do, I love this challenge!

My dearest friend

If you were here,

you'd love the ever-changing sky

of which McCall Smith so fondly speaks.

You'd love the smell of malt

that hangs in the air on a cold day,

and the crisp mornings;

the cry of the seagulls

and the toll of St Giles' bell at midnight.

I really wish you were with me,

to pinch me,

to make sure that this is indeed my reality.

I miss you and love you,

but there's nowhere else I'd rather be;

I'd rather have you here with me.
