The Backyard Poet
The endless waiting burns into his brain
Every tick of the clock drives him more insane
His life washes away with each wave of pain
His sorrow will not let him feel life again
His resolve is broke; nothing left to gain
Let death come he cried, no need to remain
Stories that were never told
Blurring the lines between poetry and prose, intensity and elegance
Make it happen, shock everyone.
Poetry, haiku, tanka, and micropoetry

Thank you my friend for the well wishes, but I must clear up a misconception. I suppose I should have put a disclaimer on this post. This is about those I know (many friends and family) that have died from cancer.

Yes, of the nine brothers and sisters that died, 6 of them was from cancer. Plus, my mother – in- law. Now a good friend of ours now has cancer in his bones. It seems like every day the phone rings to tell us of someone else. My deepest sympathies to you for those that you have lost. I am glad to have you as a friend.

That is so sad. 😦
My grandpa (dad’s dad), my Dad, my oldest sister, etc. have died from cancer. Two aunts and a cousin on my dad’s side of the family are cancer survivors. I had cancer surgery 2 years ago in Sept. So far, so good. I have my next check and tests this coming week. I have to keep having checks for the next 3 years.
Thank you! My sympathies to you, too, Jerry.
Oh, thank you so much! I am glad you are my friend, too! 🙂
HUGS for you and your precious wife! 🙂

Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m a survivor now. Side affects of survival are what sucks. Chemo memories, side effects. (Still have them). But I am alive and very grateful!!
