I think you also included the prompt of "war" because I'm sure there was ~some~ of that during your growing up years, yes?

(Don't tell me only I warred with my sisters! ;-) )

Thank you for sharing your poems with us at Mindful Poetry's Challenge Contest. Featured as it should be.

I was thinking more of my sister's war with cancer right now. I was hoping this was a supportive battle cry for her. She needs a lot of support especially not knowing what the battle ahead will entail yet.

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 30, 2011, 2:45am UTC

I hadn't heard. I'm so sorry, Veronica. My thoughts and prayers are with her.

Katryn D. Apr 30, 2011, 8:08am UTC

Awww, how sweet. My brothers would NEVER write about me. LOL

Veronica Hosking Apr 29, 2011, 4:30pm UTC

I want to help support her while waiting on the news about her hubby's condition. She needs it.

Kerry Dexter Apr 29, 2011, 5:51pm UTC

sending good thought to your sister, Veronica. I am sure your poem encourages her.

Janet "Jax" B. Apr 29, 2011, 10:12pm UTC

Is there anything the rest of us can do?

Veronica Hosking Apr 29, 2011, 10:45pm UTC

Jax I'm not sure there is much to do maybe after his next doctor's appointment and they get more information.

Katryn D. Apr 30, 2011, 8:08am UTC

I will likely make a post after Thursday's appointment

Veronica Hosking Apr 29, 2011, 10:43pm UTC

lol! Is not you look happy.

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 30, 2011, 2:47am UTC

I thought/think the photo is very attractive, Katryn.

Katryn D. Apr 30, 2011, 8:09am UTC

thank you again Susan :)

I think I look a bit crazy...I certainly had less to drink than the photographer and the gentleman standing next to me though ;)

Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2011, 11:01am UTC

Excuse me are you calling me a slush, Katryn.

Katryn D. Apr 30, 2011, 6:35pm UTC

depends, are you admitting to being the photographer? ;p

Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2011, 9:27pm UTC

yeah apparently the sole photographer of the evening. :P

The comments told me more than the poem did. However, I did get the poem. I have three loving sisters...but not twins. Sending her prayers.

well, we are making it through...really just need to hope the PET CT Scan shows it hasn't gone past the throat and the surgery and radiation go well afterward
