Ward 6

Pain
gloomy
in their eyes
i saw and felt.
Bed one, two and more                     
men, women in white gowns 
coming to and fro, caring.
In bed seven i saw, Daisy
gorgeous and alive, you can't expect
she'd be here needing a neurosurgeon.

A good example of an etheree poem. Just correct the spelling of your last word: it's correctly spelled "neurosurgeon". Also, it would be a good idea to change "needed" to "needing". You want to keep that verb in the present tense.
