[hometext] => For my english class we had to write a found poem from the short story The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin. I thought I'd share... Enjoy.
[bodytext] => Railroad disaster was received Brently Mallard's name Leading the list of killed The news of her husbands death She wept at once Away to her room alone Facing the open window, a roomy armchair She sank, A physical exhaustion haunted her body To reach into her soul In the open square before her The tops of trees were all aquiver The delicious breath of rain was in the air And clouds had met and piled One above the other She sat motionless Except when a sob came up and shook her There was a dull stare in her eyes A suspension of intelligent thought What was it? She felt it creeping out of the sky Striving to beat it back with her will She abandoned herself a little, "free, Free, free!" The look of terror went from her eyes She did not stop a monstrous joy that held her She would weep When she saw tender hands Folded in death Fixed and gray and dead But beyond that bitter moment A long procession of years to come Would belong to her Absolutely She spread her arms in welcome She was drinking a very elixir of life Free! Body and soul She breathed that life might be long And she carried herself Like a goddess of Victory [comments] => 2 [counter] => 8727 [topic] => 31 [informant] => The_unknown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
