I will attempt this new form, but I may need a while as I have just discovered that my girlfriend may have breast cancer. The needle biopsy is scheduled for next Friday, so I will update with more info as I get it. The mammogram showed a star-shaped mass, and the doctor says there's no garauntee that it IS breast cancer, but it doesn't look good, especially considering her family history of breast and ovarian cancers.

I'll be thinking of you both, Rachael. Sometimes it helps me to write out my fears in poetry. I had a biopsy a couple of years ago and it was a scarey, lonely time. I am glad that you are there to support her.

Hang in there.
Love

Thank you, Z. I'm researching information, but also holding on to the hope that the biopsy results will show it to be benign. It's going to be a rough ride for a while, and I appreciate your support, Z.

Much love

Rachael, fortunately most biopsies turn out to be benign tumors. May you and your partner hold onto that thought. However, because of her family history, there is some added concern. I will keep her in my prayers ~ and you as well.

Keep writing your thoughts and feelings down. That is what poets do.

Rachel, I also send my best wishes to your friend and hope all turns out well for her. I can understand how you are so concerned and upset over it, being something neither you or her have any control over. It's a helpless feeling, I know.

I appreciate your effort here with all that on your mind. Try again when you are able to concentrate more, ok?

Atta girl, Rachel! This is so much better and you paid a lot of attention to the construction.

There is only one change I would make...

IT is HARD to JUST stay STRONG

It would be a little difficult for the reader to put the emphasis on IT. To be sure they would do so, I'd change it to..

It's so hard to just stay strong

Otherwise, I think it's great. Well done...

Thank you, Balladeer. I will make the change. As for the song writing, in the next assignment, it's not my strong suit, but, as always, I'll try.

The bright-eyed glare of newborn sun
hides the dark till the morn is done.
As light soothes all feelings of hate,
mankind tries to escape its fate.

The hollow man will raise his hand
to ask why he is made of sand.
He then sinks under sunlight's weight
Mankind tries to escape its fate.

The newborn masses seek to find
a light that truly makes them blind.
All man can see is this world's hate.
Mankind tries to escape its fate.

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;" -Edgar All

Elias, I like this one, but there are 2 lines that just aren't flowing well for me...

"breaks through darkness till morn is done."

"Sunlight sinks him under its weight."

I could be wrong, but I don't quite think those lines flow correctly with the iambic meter you have going on here. Of course, I am but a humble student myself. Perhaps our teacher will be able to shed more light on the matter.
