Odes from the Sandbox Cpt Jeffrey Snyder

This book is a field kit to help those who are serving stay connected to their beloved back home. The poems I wrote back to my beloved Lisa will serve as a guide for you to draft your own odes and letters. Just use the included blank postcard pages to draft or copy an ode that reminds you of who you're missing and why. Then carefully cut out your completed postcard page, fold it in half and send it in the mail to your beloved! MAKE YOUR BELOVED SMILE! Simply use the included postcard pages to write an ode to your beloved. Then cut out your completed postcard page, fold it in half, and drop it in the mail! Your ode doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't always have to rhyme and you shouldn't worry about it sounding silly. In fact, being a little silly is part of what makes writing poems fun and keeps you connected to your beloved. If you've run out of creative writing ammo, just copy the ode I wrote and replace Lisa's name with the name of someone you're missing. My beloved Lisa and I are closer together now because we stayed connected during my deployment. I hope my Odes from the Sandbox help you stay close to the ones you love, even when you're serving far away. Hooah! -Jeffrey
