Notes About The Poem

Septet II is a fun, interesting form of English origin: it is composed of 7 lines with a syllabic count of 3-5-7-9-7-5-3, basically unrhymed.

A Good Sign

Mammograms
are an intrusive 
physical ordeal that
set anxieties on overdrive
so on follow-up visit
a genuine smile's
a good sign.

yes I know of no women who enjoys these masochistic machines, and its great to walk out with a smile. Luckily I go to a clinic where they read while waiting which relieves a lot a stress...if you can get in quickly. A nice thoughtful write Emile! ~jan Ps. Good luck in the contest
