Fiction poem
A letter was pushed through my door
The writing I’d not seen before
On the envelope it said ‘For Sue’
Written in red not black or blue
I opened it as Sue’s my name
Such vitriol meant to defame
But why had it been aimed at me
I just moved in just after three
The nature of the letter left me shaken
And I truly don’t like confrontation
There’s a knock at the door, I open it
But step back, afraid I may take a hit
A lady said, “I moved out yesterday
Please pass on any post my way”
I said, “Tell me are you called Sue
A letter came, I guess it’s for you.”
I retrieved the letter from the bin
Sue read it much to her chagrin
She said, “It’s from my evil Ex
I ditched him, life is so complex”
Sue came in and we drank tea
She had the same humour as me
Since then we became firm friends
So this is where the story ends
