Hate is a cancer isn't it Susan; an amazing truth you've penned here!

Yike! But I do know what you mean the throat area is related to the 3rd chakra and has to do with finding and using your own voice [one meaning is speaking up & out for onself..singing is a healing way to use this chakra!] It took me 30 years to find my voice and I am still working on it. From your verse I can tell you are working hard on your voice too. BIG HUGS! Congrad's on Your Win Light & Love

Heartfelt and heartbreaking piece, Susan - I'm sorry you had such a hateful person in your life. Thanks very much - loved your contest and congrats on your wins : )

It is true, how such a thing could cause harm in so many ways....mental/physical diseases go hand in hand....Well done!

Stored up rage can def have negative effects on cells...chronic stress can wreak all sorts of havok...I love this idea for Joann's contest and I love each and every poem like yours that makes us stop and think a moment about our actions. You wrote a great one, Susan. * I always like to take the time to thank a sponsor for taking precious time to throw a contest...those who don't sponsor them do not fully understand the responsibility...Thank u for appreciating my military twist on eggs...although my topic is controversial. Love, Gwendolen

A very powerful Tanka!! Love it!!

Susan,Wow! I have been reading your works,and geez! They really get to me! I find it hard to comment on some of them?Because they just get me...Very nice works :o) And thank you always for your comments... :o)

Hi Susan, this is out raged... and i have a cancer poem, that explains how cancer is a disease that says it all.... and stuffed down my babes spine is where it will always live.... he he he... he will never know what I'm talking about...xox~pd

yes, there is a theory that suppressed emotion can lead to cancer...edgy and packs a punch, an original take on the theme...

What a powerful write my friend! I believe that cancer can develop within bad vibes! You've written a fantastic poem Susan! Great Work!!
