Maybe my attraction to tight, well done poetry exists because I don't write in that style. In any case I have a great appreciation for what you are doing.

A very crisp piece of work. Short but sweet.

I liked reading it.

I like this very much. Talk about spare. Direct. My hat's off to you.

I am not plugging my excellent poem of course, but you are cordially invited to read my "What is Timely". It too discusses cancer. Much longer than yours, but verrry round.

While care-giving a friend in Washington, I lost a friend in Montana. Too many leaks in the dam to plug even with both hands.

After my mother died, of cigarette-weakened lungs during an operation for another problem, she came to me in a dream. She said, "See? I've quit smoking!"
