New York Postcard Show

Hundreds of thousands of postcards for sale evoke nostalgic memories and offer glimpses of faraway lands Conversations about deltiololgy fill the room Dealers have come form many states and lands to sell their wares Along with an old friend who is a photographer I prepare a piece about the event The commerce in old paper continues throughout the day Ashes of the past still smoulder

I was in a gift shop last weekend and happened to be looking at postcards with old photos of my hometown. It is fascinating to see what has changed or stayed the same... I really enjoyed reading this nostalgic and interesting write, Matthew. A very heartfelt poem, I feel. Well done!
