According to all of the tests

Who plundered the most treasured chests...

Still think of my dear first wife Linda
Succumbed to breast cancer, she was an enigma
Did she love me
'Twas an uncertainty
Ending mama's domination, No.1 on her agenda...

Wear a badge of  hope
Showing that you care for others
Saying your aware
Breast Cancer kills both sexes
Pink plus pink/blue ribbons show
Your moral support for all.

The color pink comes with a wink
  A toothpick and parasol, it's a lady's drink

On a breast cancer t-shirt, spread awareness and think
  But on a plain men's dress shirt ~ from commenting I shrink...

It's my belief that enlarging a woman's breasts
Implantation run the risk of cancer, that's my guess
My wife is an example
Following the gamble
Got breast cancer and passed away, still hard to digest...

Of Cancer in tatas
Measure of sweet and gentle touch
Examine your boobs each month for surety
Never take life and health for granted!!

W-W.
Training bra, stuffing tissue ambition.
Black Bikini top, captures a man’s vision.
Breast-feeding, a painful loving tradition.
Mammogram exam,  life becomes a mission.
Breast Cancer Results, nothing close to removing the foreskin in a circumcision.

My husband’s post-concussion work injury barely improved this past year. Dizziness and headaches still plague him. No solution have I found for my own rare conditions. My son nearly got divorced. My dear daughter got breast cancer and continues with treatments even now. May good outweigh the bad in '24....

PINK
 PINK
PINK

painting PINK

In memory of Clara Anderson—artist--beloved aunt, mother and role model

Clara had her breasts removed
Long before Pink was beloved
Bravely faced the doctors knife
Mother’s friend and navy wife

Clara danced on 30 years
Battled pain
Laughed through tears
And her paint brush 
Carried on
Splashed her color
Like a song...

you took both my breasts
leaving me with a flat chest
worse, feeling like less - 
   I feel like a man even
   in my most beautiful dress

the initial reaction repulsive
depression for the unknown
dissection takes away disease
healing the process of time
the scar a reminder of what was endured
becomes insignificant through understanding
love remains true

To all those magnificent women who overcome adversity and gain strength from not allowing 
Breast Cancer to dictate their fate....

my neighbor's vomit
I hear the liver cancer
her window to mine

I had a neighbor and we lived one in her trailer and me in mine. My wife lost to liver and breast cancer and I know what cancer does, you vomit. Robert Spiess said VOMIT was too strong, but he published it and it was selected as BEST OF ISSUE FOR A SENRYU in Modern Haiku. Robert Henry Poulin...

My mammogram is due today
Twill be mammorable, I’ll say
Both boobies will hurty,
When squashed at 1.30,
Oh bother it’s on my birthday!


I’ll stand at the booby machine,
It clamps me, oh boy it’s so mean,
They’ll check for breast cancer
Scans provide the answer,
Then birthday lunch in the canteen.

Gathering again 
of boys and girls and 
big kids too binding their fantasy
lives 
in funny costumes and
not so cute masks to
scare and trick

and maybe get a treat
needed for a sweet tooth.  But,
devilment  lurks today ...

glowing out other terrors  
held within 
ominous  x-rays that may take a woman
under real knives to 
live out the fears found in a
sentence of breast cancer....

Why does that which nature endows  a woman with, to nourish the very young, later harbor the cells that multiply and harm?  Tasking a woman to be ever vigilant, so a life isn't taken before it's time. Compelling those around her, who care and are able, To rally against the injustice. Supporting in their own way , To provide some hope and a light, out of this dark tunnel, no woman should ever have to enter....

Sitting in the backseat ~ yackety
she drives like
    crackers ~ wackedy
speeding to the movies?
we can’t be late?
Driver ahead asleep at the
    light
panic stop she makes ~ 5 seatbelts lock
But the 
backlash! ........... flying wig
plops smack in my lap . . . .
Screaming fits of laughter all around.
Late to the movies after all,
    not nearly as good.




Dedicated to my friend, Kate.
Breast cancer survivor....

Every year we dread the mammo!
But far more women die from heart disease
One in five dies from heart disease
One in thirty from breast cancer.

It's quite complex, and am MD I am not.
But check out the info online it's red hot.
Keep females alive. 
This is not jive!

Your food comes first, it's no joke
Eating bad food daily, may do us in.
It's more complex than just food
I want you around long in the poetry hood

Courage is a mother of any child.
Courage is showing that you care.
Courage is a chemotherapist starting their treatment.
Courage is a breast cancer survivor.
Courage is a firefighter saving a family
And returning to the flames to save their pet.
Courage is smiling when someone is down.
Courage is fighting for what you believe in.
Courage is finding the love in your heart 
For someone less fortunate.
Courage is anyone in their daily lives
Trying to make a difference....

For all that it its worth I find your courage inspiring
Everyday I watch you brave it out refusing to give in
As the days turn to weeks and blur into months
Recouping all the strength that this merciless beast has torn from you
Leaving believers in your wake with each visit to the cancer ward
Eveyone applauding you efforts your pesistence
Saving the best for last you never even consider holding back
Saving herself with all the and support  to win her battle with breast cancer...
