Reason A. Poteet Poet Haibun

Returned Valentine

haibun

her heart's overwhelmed
as her Valentine returns
from Afghanistan


In cahoots with the local mailman, Airman Louis Patrillos hides out-of-sight as the postman returns the special valentine his wife had sent him.  Then quickly Lou appears, announcing,  "Honey, I'm Home!" just as she bursts into tears.
