Mystery Word: Found Poem

I found you, 
and our meeting was accidental,
as meetings of any great lovers. 

I found you,
hanging on a whitewashed
wall flower garden, 

collectively supporting 
a rational argument,  
like a group of men in a chorus. 

I loved you, 
and you didn’t refuse my love.

Leaving your home: prose passages,
you came with me  

to form our love poem,
Found Poem.
