Stamp of affection

NAPOWRIMO 2024, Day 15

Today we are given stamps as food for thought.

I could have waxed lyrical about my days in The Stamp King shop, sharing beetroot sarnies with Derek while rummaging through boxes of stamps looking for flowering birds of paradise, but I have a full day ahead and little time to ponder, so I selected a shorter form of poetic postage with a trio of haikus (the last one breaks the rules, but hey, shoot me!).

You used to lick them

Posting your DNA to me

Philately love

…..

I’d think of your mouth

Posting your words to me

Missives from over wide seas

….

Serated glued square

Thirty seven cent mystery

Stamp of affection
