I think when we feel we've been dealt a rough hand in the longevity stakes, and are called to suffer a seemingly unfair hand, we rightfully point our mouths to heaven and ask why? But somebody said, "life isn't fair." Well done, great post blessings Roy

Interesting way to weave the six words into an engaging drama. I am amazed at the many different ideas for this six-word prompt. Good luck in the contest, Laura.

Thanks, Laura, I guess from my viewpoint many of my friends are dying from cancer and it is on the rise, ergo my musings...

I regret not having a six to give you. I read another one of the entries and it too is astounding. I cannot give enough substantial praise to this piece of work. The visual choice is great, but your poem is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect of creativity, emotional conveyance, flow,
beauty, well, I could go on and on. Let's call it perfection at the finest.
Good luck to you.

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, I am sorry to read these words of plaintive and incredulous sadness. I hope that this is not a true account of the writer's illness, but if it is, there is hope today, especially in the area of stem cell treatments, which I urge you to investigate, and my prayers are with you...

Eve, thankfully, no this was not a real event and I am so grateful this truth. I have unfortunately had friends that this was the case and this piece is from I was writing.

I am so, so, so relieved, but feel sad for those thus afflicted - a worthy write indeed, on their behalf...Eve
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I don't know that many of us have the answer for that one. It is a terrible disease that I think more is available to help eradicate it. I think that more technology is there but that there is so much money to be made in illness. Don't cure it, just help people cope with it or ease there pain. I like the heart cry message in this well written work. Well done!

Outstanding poem, author. Every line fits the story well and the keywords don't seem forced in any way. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. This looks like a winner to me. :) Bob

Comment from Gail Denham
If we knew the answe r- and after all these many many years of research, when will they figure out how to put an end to it - altho there are many more helps now than way back. If this is you, I not only wish you well, but offer a prayer for you.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
You have created a very valid story with the word prompts. Creative talent is present in your discourse. The picture is very complimentary, in that the pipe is part of the cause of this problem. Your use of the words is exemplary.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This poem definitely has a tone of purposeful despair about it. All the words seem to have been used admirably. I see there is a strength in the use of end rhymes, whether it is with the 'y' sound or long 'a' sound, or long 'o' sound. Nicely done. The line about cancer also makes the reader wonder.

Comment from brenda bickers
This is a really sad poem. We all have to face death, but to do so in such a way is horrible. I don't know how I would cope if I was given that news. I guess you have to, but how?. I do hope this is just a prompt for the contest and not for real.
Good luck in the contest.
