Sudden Onset
 

Scarily good. Not yours, I hope - the tumor, not the verse, which zings in like a laser.

"We'll know before much longer" - a resonant line, that lingers in the memory. The poem rings true.

Cheers,
John

Terrific poem, Mike.

Susan

Good one, Mike -- congrats!

Nausheen

Excellent, Mike.

Thanks, everyone--I really appreciate it!

One of your best, Mike. The deceptive simplicity of this reminds me of Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice."

Bravo, Mike!

Congratulations, Mike!

We should all be ridiculously strong by now.
