A TASTE OF ITALY

 8 down 7 to go

Daily radiation treatments

Along with oral chemo, daily 

Sees me dealing with

A double whammy of

A side effect as I catch myself

Cat-napping throughout

The day, which, yesterday, was

Enhanced by sleeping on

The living room couch from

3pm-7pm, and even then

Eyelids felt heavy upon

Awakening. And while

Awake I think of myself as

A fortunate woman

Why?

Well, let’s take

This example for instance: 

Last evening, while wearing

A warm smile, Will handed

A mozzarella salad to

Me followed by

Dropping a gentle kiss upon

My brow

And when I asked—

What did I do to warrant your kiss?

Will replied without hesitation

All you have to do to win a kiss is

To be in the room with me

(Needless to say neither

Will nor I actually made use of

Words like warrant and win

Those two words just

Popped into

My mind while

Penning this post, and

Once I decided to employ

Poetic license, I also

Decided to tell you

The truth, because

Each time I publish a post

I choose to relate

The truth

The whole truth

And nothing but—

THE TRUTH

Because otherwise

There’d be no point to

Writing a blog about

Life as I choose to

Live mine, during

High times and low
