You did well with a one line poem. I admire your use of rhyming words. This is also a powerful message here that shows the impact that cancer has on people. Excellent theme and best wishes for the contest.

I think this is a good entry for the 'One Line Poem' writing prompt.
Your well written line tells a very sad truth.
Good luck to you with this one in the competition.

Thanks, Di, for the review and the hopes. But, sadly, for me this is autobiographical.

Yes your one line poem is so right. I lost my sister to cancer and I am still sad. This is a very good entry into the contest. The reader enjoyed the read.

I would call this a perfect one line poem.

I'll admit I'm no expert at poems. But I did enjoy reading yours tremendously, even if I can't help you with the technicalities of writing something like this.

Excellent work.

So true... Cancer is a disease that is eating up our society from the inside out! It destroys so many lives, and IT is the one that needs to die! Powerful one line poem!
