This work has reached the exceptional level


Your acrostic poem is good, every line tells how the person feel and taking a test could have prevented this or helped it.
Going down a road when you are sick is like being in the dark, hoping one day will see the light.
Good luck with your acrostic poem.

Health is so important, I'm sorry for your friend 's Prostate cancer.... I'm assuming. Excellent acrostic form. Nice presentation.

Well done.

:Soothing visions replace my grief" is an awesome line. Your words are true and aid anyone on a grief journey. Excellent acrostic form that has a smooth and vivid use of words. "Absorbing light, my future's source" is another strong line that gives hope. Excellent poem about a journey that I hope ends well for this individual.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us. What a tragic waste that your friend didn't take the test. I gather from your poem he could have been saved had he done so. Ulla:)))

your words are so powerful. It's such a tragedy when something can be prevented but is not. So many "what if's"

Thank you for sharing this evocative poem. Hope you are well

-Very good artwork and presentation, kahpot.
-I didn't know you were in Australia.
-Your notes are appreciated. You are right
about getting the necessary tests even
though it is a scary thing, it is better to know.
-I am sorry about your friend.
-You wrote a very good poem with
effective images and rhyme with good
closing lines about "faith's belief" and "silver linings."

Well done today, but that isn't new to you, as you write super-fluidly, not superfluously, with regularity. Taking on an acrostic and having rhythm and reason persist is a learned trick.

Good morning Kim. This theme is heart wrenching and you handle it well in your lines. The devastation to families is horrific (my brother died from this) and has far-reaching effects. Thanks for a superbly written Acrostic that brings attention to examinations.

Very sad. I gather your friend died from prostate cancer? My sister-in-law died a slow and painful death from bowl cancer because she negllected to test with the free kit. Your poem speaks well of the darkness closing in, of the removal of premature smiles as the diagnosis is given. Hope you will find peace and comfort through the silver lining of faith.
