Notes About The Poem

Victory Scar


Victory Scar

That long line still shows.
Thirty years a part of me;
precancer they said.
Hysterectomy so young;
lifesaving victory scar.

Thank you Sandra, your poem just rang so easily in my crazy brain! The flow and what you expressed in such few words made an impact that I don't think I've ever felt. Plus you've opened my horizons about short poems (haiku, tanka). Such few words for you to express your emotions...Thank you again, always, Laura
