Today’s word is “chirography” ... kahy-rog-ruh-fee ... handwriting; penmanship. (Dictionary.com)
Loopy
Beautiful chirography,
The children do not know,
They cannot read or comprehend,
This art form’s going to go.
It saddens those of us who draw,
Those swirls and loops of ink,
Creating graceful messages,
That trace the way the writer thinks.
Perhaps in many ages hence,
Museums will, in cases,
Display pages full of cursive words,
From all the world’s places.
