Penmanship

the letters are not well formed,
the n’s are flat lines stretched
between adjacent vowels, the “o”
leading the word is a simple vertical
line and the “s” is a forward slash.
the words are mostly unintelligible.
those who receive these words
may complain bitterly about the
time it takes to decipher, to flat
out guess what the words spell out.
others may rejoice to see her handwriting,
visualizing her writing to someone
special, to them, by hand,
with a beautiful fountain pen.
