Rules: Write a poem for national poetry month on the topic or form described. Each poem should appear as a separate reply to this thread. The goal is to, at the end of the month have written 30 poems for National Poetry Month.
Topic 27: Two choices today: 1 - you can write a poem from the point of view of someone sick or dying or 2 - it is my birthday today. In years past, on my birthday, all the poets I knew would write a poem to commemorate (YAY!). You can choose this example if you choose though I am aware I have not been here long enough for anyone to really know me that well, I have included an example I received from my old friend (and poet) Dale Housman.
Form : any
Line requirements: 10 lines or more.
