Postcard Fiction #2 Miss Communications

Posted on March 20, 2012 by ltownsdin

Choosing wrong words

She sends a text, attempting

To bolster, encourage.

A mistake

To assume a problem

Where there was none.

She falters

But no offense is taken.

Released from the pressure,

Of manager of the universe,

She takes a walk on the river.

I’ve not heard of postcard fiction until I read your blog. Great piece! I admire the depth of story you achieved in so few words.
