Cancer Poem

[JustJoseph]

opps tittle got messed up. i am in school and i have just come across this and i would like to share this with you guys.

Jane Levin:



I’m Becoming More Forgetful

I am becoming more forgetful.
Friends laugh
tell stories about
misplaced keys
forgotten names.
A few gently ask if chemo did this to me.
My doctor refers me for an MRI.
You don’t understand.
For just one moment
I forgot that I
have/had/may have
cancer.

I have become a magician
watching in amazement
as fear disappears.
Sounds of audible delight escape
as the faint outline
of hope
materializes.
and as hope takes shape
remembering begins.

Wow. I've never been good with poetry. More of a literature kind of guy, but this was quite the coolness!

What's the message?

I really liked it. The first verse was very poetic (kind of a requirement of a poem) but the second verse was just so...I dunno. Great.

with the whole "have/had/may have" type thing
