Labyrinthine, Languish, Letter Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France 11/05/23
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
