I am nine years a widow and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm seven years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here. I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Grandiose wooly stripes cuddle the obviously contemptuous woman. She whisked through the bookstore and asked a luminary where the children’s book section of wild animals was located. Observing her coat, he asked and she answered, yes she had been to Africa, had seen the beautiful creatures bordering the safari trail and even though she was offered a reproduction, she chose the real thing. Nothing revolutionary even entered her mind. She was of the entitled genre, a puzzle to this “ordinary” man, and never tried to obscure her status in argument.

dVerse Poets Haibun

Let’s write our haibun that references the heart, in whatever context that you conceive. For those new to haibun, the form consists of one to a few paragraphs of prose—usually written in the present tense—that evoke an experience and are often non-fictional/autobiographical. They may be preceded or followed by one or more haiku—nature-based, using a seasonal image—that complement without directly repeating what the prose stated.
