Dripping

Beating cancer

Drip drip drip

As cold seeps in my veins 

Echoing in my ears

As the medicine drains

Drip drip drip 

Time is passing by

When the dripping stops

My loved ones they will cry

Drip drip drip

Machines are all beeping

Life flashes before eyes

I see them all weeping

Drip drip drip

See I am still here

I will not let go

Wipe away the tears

Drip drip drop

I am going to win

Drop… drop… stop…

I’ll come home again

Just a random thought that came to me.

The drips had an interesting effect in this one, and I agree with Bob about reading this one aloud. This one brings me to a hospital room with a family waiting to see if their loved one will make it though or not. The second stanza about what will happen when the dripping stops really touched me. That made me think that a new kind of dripping would take place, and that room would be filled with the sound again, just with a new meaning. Well done Cairo.

Thank you Clockwork! Yeah I am in a hospital room so your interpretation is right. Thank you for stopping by and reviewing, glad that you were touched :)

caught this in my feed and was simply stunned when I read it. The clipped lines, the repetitive words - all create such a gripping poem. Its a hellish fight but it can be won.
What a great write.

Thank you, I'm glad you caught it and stopped by :) Yes it is, but I'll keep fighting until the day that I can proudly say, I am a survivor! Thank you for your review.

This one is wonderful read aloud. The pace of drip-drip-drip is the beat in this and it works so well. ...bob
