Notes About The Poem

I'M Back - Inspired By Contest

His cancer has returned ... writing is my therapy If you don't like it then it's tough- cos I'm back! Posted from the very same accommodation where I wrote my first poem 'Splendid Isolation' its over 5 years since his surgery but now my husband is receiving a very lengthy intensive course of radiotherapy My internet time is very limited as I have to rely on free wifi when I can access it hence the reason I've posted 3 poems today. I apologise I have very little time for soup and am unable to reply to or leave many comments at the moment www.poetrysoup.com/poem/splendid_isolation_543657 5/7/10
