Found Poem

The man stood up
And moved across the room in his sock feet
He was in a Joint in the next county
A cold cathartic rain fell ominously outside in the darkness
As he sat down at the bar next to his wife
He handed her a letter and she reached over and took it
Holding the letter with her other hand
She picked up the glass and lifted her head
As if to let the liquor tickle her throat
The woman read the letter that she had been awaiting for a long time
She got up and ran out into the cold dark night
The man remained in his place calmly stroking the big cat

Jordan - I like the way you made elements from this plot tell a story or than the one they were originally intended for... It works. - Mrs. Elmeer
