Hunn received a sunny letter,
By which I mean not only nice
But filled with warmest, honeyed light
And smells of sleepy spice –
A day-in-bed delight.

Hunn wrote back a woodsy letter,
Bursting out the envelope
With moss and earth and twiggy sprites
And flowers full of fruiting hope –
A lost-in-something-more delight.

Hunn got sent a stormy letter,
An airy sea whipped every way
Until it could not hold its might
And lightning flipped the night to day –
An elements-let-loose delight.

Hunn sent off a leading letter
Stuffed with fluff and followed it
Like a friendly postal kite
It led Hunn straight to the one who’d writ
For an arm-in-arm delight.

The two then wrote a river letter
That sent itself rip roaring down
To find another one to write
In any crashing, splashing town –
A pass-it-on delight.
