Notes About The Poem

.

- Kimo Therapy -

She has breast cancer, malignant tumor
                 Time passes, a waiting game
                 Routine mammography


                       A filter of frustration and sadness
                       Death can not be overcome
                       Grief is the price of love


                 The moment of freedom, the mask falls off
                 Show yourself as a true friend
                 "We'll do this together"

Hi Anne-Lise, a beautiful Kimo, encompassing your thought with such emotional words. Your last line does sing in its power. This Kimo does touch the heart my friend. As always, your words sing a truth. Have a wonderful end to your weekend. Hugs....Mike. XX

A mixture of emotions in this string of Kimo, Anne-Lise. Cancer used to be a 'whispered' about topic; now it is important to bring awareness; caught in time can be life-saving. "We'll do this together" is the support that instills hope and strength. Hugs // paul

This is a really sad and beautiful poem, we all have to die one day, death is inevitable but I do hope that when that time comes, it comes like a friend rather than enemy, if it pains, the pain should only be of seconds or minute, but cancer, O God, it kills you everyday, you know you are going to die, especially when it comes to chemo,you just wait there for death to come and bear the pain, your last stanza was really beautiful I see that it is for a contest, so I wish you best of luck in it,

"Grief is the price of love"...so sad and true...friendship so helpful :) Unfortunate that cancer is one of the "defects" of our "advancement" on this planet.

Wonderful write Anne Lise. It's so important to have the love and support of friends and family when you are ill with a life threatening disease. ATTITUDE is very important in being able to beat cancer. Those with a positive attitude usually fare better than those who are frightened. Wonderful work here. Bravo. A winner for sure. God Bless, JB
