we have a winner!

frightened eyes
in a wan, cachexic face
stare into the distance
they're outlined in exhaustion and pain

fragile hands
tremble gently on the sheets
veins are useless, scarred and burned
by harsh chemotherapy treatments

tired heart
courageously keeps rhythm
despite the diagnosis
she does not give in that easily

painful mouth
ulcers keep her from smiling
but won't sway her from the fight
she is determined to win the war

head covered
by a brightly colored scarf
in the middle of battle
she sticks her tongue at the enemy

(C) Copy written, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Wow Karla what a neat way to weave a new vocabularly builder into thie fine poem. Had to go to the dictionary on "cachexic." A neat word to have on hand. Hon, whoever this person may be, she is indeed a valiant warrior. Let her fight on and add my prayers for her victory. I feel chills run up my spine and out into the atmosphere to find her somewhere. Oh how this type poem tears me up. You words make such a vidid picute! I will never forget the word cachexic again. Hugs and much love and understnding. You friend. Bill Murray xoxoxoxo
