Question: Can stories be poems, or are they just unfinished emotions!?
She almost made it!. The door to the closet was ajar, the heel of a shoe spilling out onto the hardwood floors!. When she planted her foot as she reached for the knob, she landed it squarely on the shoe, sending her spread eagle across the slippery wooden surface!. She tried to half crawl herself towards the tote bag that hung on the inside of the closet door, but felt her hair being yanked, her head flying backwards, just as she grabbed for it!. The red nylon netting of the tote-bag brushed her fingertips and she could feel the heft of the !.45 that was inside!. A searing pain ripped through her scalp and she felt the warmth of her own blood running down the back of her neck!. She pleaded with him to stop, she would do it his way, the way he wanted, but please don't force it on me, I can make it better, we can make it better, she didn't want things to be like this!. He drug her to the couch and flung her sideways into the back of it, pushing her face into the rough-green upholstery!. She stopped fighting, the will taken from her, sapped by a man she didn't even know!. He tied her legs to the fold away bed frame that was under the cushions, her hands to the sturdy steel lamp table above her head!. She asked him for a drink first, before he began!. He poured what was left of a warm can of beer into her mouth, her tongue and lips grabbing at it wildly!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Super piece of writing!. I wanted her to come out shooting!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stories can be poems, poems can be stories!. Neither one has to be unfinished, yet both carry emotion within them!. It is the teller's choice to finish the emotion or not!.

Simple words, as in number I mean, yet again, so much imagery floods my mind!.
I tip my hat!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To answer your Q, stories can be poems just as poems can be stories, both being unfinished emotions!. Or are you once again way above my head!?

The content of your story is too vivid and painful for me to even fathom a comment, too painful for me, Buk!. Yet that was the purpose, no!?

To answer your question see my Hoodie poem, it tells a stroy in a way yours does not!.

The Hoodie Man

The Hoodie man came walking, walking doon the street
He had a great big Jungle knife clenched between his teeth!.
He thought he looked the hardest man ever in the toon!.
But local folk knew black Winston was no but a bloody clown!.

He sauntered into Elgin Street, he saw a weak target
A aged kilted Scotsman, a weedy sort of Git
Winston took his great knife and challenged the old gent
Give us yer beer money and the money for yer rent

And Winston our braw hoodie, from the exotic carribean
Squared up to our Scotsman, Octogenarian Ian
And with that shout our Winston uttered his last ever word
Cos Ian chopped his head off with his ceremonial sword!.

The Polis came and tried to get a statement from Winston!.
But when he would not speak to them they duly moved along
Just before they left with old gent they had a word
Warning him that he should wipe the blood off of his sword

They know how to deal with Hoodies in Scotland!.
