Black Ivy

Cancer has no answer Death leaves a shaky breath Left feeling so bereft Dark thoughts create a mark Spent in life's wary dent Saddened, feeling maddened Cries of pain pierce the eyes Languish in deep anguish Seeping blackness creeping Cancer, gloom enhancer Prowls as pained patient yowls Tears cut short hurtful years 06.04.2021
For Chantelle Anne Cooke's "Cancer Ivy" contest

Clever use of a new form you devised to discuss cancer, Jo. Love the title for this one too.

I've never tried this type of poem. Very well done. The subject matter is sad. There's so much sadness these days. I know it's for a contest. Good luck. Thanks for the visit to my page.

It is so common these days. My father and mother had it. My wife too but was operated in time, only to die from heart block after ten years. Hugs.
