After the Letter
A poem in response to the Writer’s Digest 2025 April PAD Challenge: Day 5
After the Letter
The young you
addressing
the young me.The promise of laughter,
the promise of light,
made good.The memories,
the years,
the now.As always,
after the letter,
it is 2 a.m.As always,
after the words,
it still feels new.

This poem is my response to the Writer’s Digest 2025 April PAD Challenge: Day 5: write an After Blank poem.
I also used a prompt from Poetry Orchard - “There will be laughter / light” (#escapril).
