A Letter of Gratitude and One of Complaint

by Mike Doane

Today I used Write Yourself Alive to start a project I’ve been thinking of for awhile. I travel quite often for business and as often as possible (with my lovely fiancé, Emily) for pleasure. So I thought it would be nice to pick up a postcard at all the places I visit, write a little something on them, and share them with the world.

Today’s prompt was to write two letters — one of gratitude, and one of complaint. Mine are short and sweet, written on postcards from a pack Emily and I got in Rome a couple years ago. Enjoy!

A Letter of Complaint

My complaints are few–
Only the heartache
I feel
when you’re not near.

A Letter of Gratitude

Every day I wake
to your touch
is a day well lived.
