Poetry of the Heart
There was once an unhappy couple who had lots of fights. One day, the husband, Chris, came home with the idea of divorce. The wife, Karen, was very calm, because she had thought about this for quite a while.
Karen started writing her thoughts down every morning after the divorce, and keeping them in a drawer. After some time, these thoughts turned into poems.
One morning, she found that her drawer was too full. She knew that she had to throw them away, but felt that it was such a waste to just toss them, so she read over them one more time. She found that these poems weren't so bad. She joked to herself that if she could find an artist to draw pictures to go with these poems, they could make some money, because, after all, she wasn't the only divorced woman in the neighborhood.
She thought about it, and found that she did know an artist-- her ex-husband. She called him up, and told him about her idea. She showed him some of her work, and Chris was very impressed.
To this day, the works of these two are sold in greeting cards all over the country.
