Epistle: Poem

 

Epistle

I.

A poem usually is

An elegant, deducted letter,

A testimony and reflection

That always matters.

Let’s say like flowers and bees

That usually is

An elegant vision that makes you better.

II.

The epistle letter writing

Was common in ancient Egypt.

And always had pedagogical reasons.

Ink and paper to equip,

With candlelight and other smarts.

III.

Pliny, Ovid, and Seneca

Set the philosophical ruminations,

Ethics and moral lexica

Of ancient classics in Hellenistic traditions.

Shalom, grace and peace

In every poetic piece.
