[hometext] => a gig at the spittal with a 4 time cancer survivor-5th cancer is in the brain. baaaaaaaad day at work
[bodytext] => the flaws of my assumptions
far too many to list but let me share just one so you may get the jist the nature of my craft sees me all 0ver town in and out of lives confidentiality is my crown such was the case last night a gig quite simple in theory as i walked into the waiting room my heart began to grow weary young father and son sat quietly in their chair looking over at mom her eyes begged me not to stare saying hello with a smile we greet for the very first time not appearing awkward, the only thing on my mind. expecting to meet a person of "normal health" im sure the shock on my face was anything but stealth. when the doctor called us back I felt weak in my knees as she removed her hat, she looked right at me. as we sat alone I asked of her illness the silence was painful so was the stillness. soon she would tell me she had brain cancer so hard to hear that kind of answer she was getting radiation treatment then decided to quit going "the cancer has spread to my lungs" she said in a tone that was knowing "thats five different places ive had more than enough" just found out thanksgiving, the last two months have been tough then she went in with the doctor next to her husband i would wait packing down the emotion with no real way to relate we talked and we joked till her exam was complete but after the gig as i walked down the street i felt strong emotions seizing my being my soul cried out with no way of fleeing rushing straight home to hold my dear wife grateful to God for all our Blessings in life [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Foodstamp [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
