Hooray, Colleen and her Tuesday Tanka Challenge is back from her short break. Colleen has been on the move and I for one wish her every happiness in her new home. Colleen said “Since it’s the first poetry challenge of the new year, Word Crafters, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you!”
I have chosen to write an Acrostic Poem on the theme of Cancer. A subject that is giving me grief at the moment. Please don’t worry, as far as I know, I DO NOT HAVE CANCER sadly I have friends that do.

Cancer Acrostic

Cunning, creeping, conniving
Ailing , sickening no longer thriving
Nearing the end of your tether
Coping, worse and worse than ever
Eroding you slowly from the inside
Ruin it, kill it, crush it, poison it until it dies!
