Best Dread Disease Poems

I don't, and probably won't 
know the truth of her fate,
I don't know whether she left us, 
but I do remember her well.
Tall, slim, quiet and shy, 
I remember her deep orange hair,
and an awkward prettiness that grew.
But more than the sight of her,
and the...

In my morning’s misty madding slumber,
I rise to face the dreams of yesteryear.
Will today have better thoughts, I wonder.
My mind's a maze of agony and fear.

I live in shadows, daydreams of the past.
my body's aching too in agony.
I softly muse how hours went by so...

This dread disease that has afflicted my home, 
This malady, this plague on my house;
This making convertible the former quaintness and provincialism thereof 
Into something wholly despicable and disgustingly homogeneous,
Yclept "cosmopolitanism," and "worldliness," and "globalization," 
(Or, perhaps "globalism");
That force of rude power that recognizes no...

Peaceful presence surrounds nature
In the cool quiet morn
Wispy clouds fan brushed decorate
A canvas newly born

Orange marmalade sunlight glows
Through silhouetted pines
Casting lavender upon clouds
Making their glory shine

The constant hum of crickets bright
And roosters' noisy den
Gives a pleasant orchestra ring
To a great concert blend

The death angel visited...

Father....where were you when the Jews were gassed,
and countless slaves, whipped and slashed?

Father....where are you when the child-killers roam,
forever now from mother’s home

Father....where are you when your priests abuse the young,
in your house when matins sung

Father….will I burn in hell, have I made you frown,
…....

At the doctor’s office, I had to fill out forms,
Showing gory details—infirmities and norms.
They said, “Take a moment to furnish what we ask.
Just tell us your condition, and your family’s past.

Did your ancestors carry some dread disease?
Like hardened arteries or painful swollen knees?”
Reluctantly, I listed...

Three long years since my love has gone away
And I have settled into a life of lonely self-ease,
Seeing no regrets or sorrows I need to appease
Still sometimes I think I live in perpetual disarray.
If morning should portend a dark and gloomy day
My personal freedom ensued...

I thought one day that I would surely die,
But that was before Jesus, heard my despairing cry.
I knew that only He would have the answer,
For that dread disease we know as cancer.

I fell down at His feet and started praying,
Knowing He would hear what I...

(continued from PT 1)

There's not much we can do right here in Charlotte but to pray.
     But we know of one that's working on experimental chemo today. 
To help our precious women who have this dread disease.

I thought I'd been doing things right.
            I exercised and supposed the food I ate was mostly good.
Then something struck me; it became my life's most serious plight,
coming as it did so suddenly in...

CV-19
CV-19
I do not like CV-19!

I do not like it in the air
I do not like it in my hair
I do not like it anywhere  

I do not like it when you sneeze
I do not like it when you wheeze
I do not like this dread...

She's fat and she's ugly and she smokes and she smells
	and she scares all the children on the street
Every child runs to hide when she screams, when she yells
	but a man down the block thinks she's sweet.

He's old and he's dirty and he lives all...

The light no longer sparkles in her once brilliant eyes
Listening carefully to hear her softly muttered cries

She hovers alone behind her closed bedroom door
Not yet ready to face what life still has in store

Once vibrant enthusiasm filled her body and sole
Listless, drained so frail her...
