B:

I'm now going to disagree with TB (I hope he doesn't mind): I like the humanizing touch of "his," since it does point to a backstory. IMO it gives the letter more pathos and for me the poem works because you wind up personifying the letter, or making it an avatar for the broken-hearted man

I think I want a hug now!

I agree with TB on the posted version being the better. 

God, that poor sad love letter!

His love letter lies
on a park bench words bleeding
with every rain drop

alternative version

His love letter lies
on a park bench words bleeding
more with each rain drop

Hi Val,
I've gone round and round about whether the first word should be a pronoun or an article.  Any thoughts?
Thanks,
