Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Expected, but not always scheduled.

Bedside

by howard11

End near,

Bedroom fills up

Teary eyed stand quiet

Ann lies still, cancer tightens grip

"Bye, Mom".



Cinquain Poetry contest entry


November 7 would have been my Mother's 102nd birthday had cancer not killed her. Her teen years were passed during the Great Depression. She grew into adulthood during World War II. Later, she became a single parent devoted to raising me. She led a full, admirable life.
