The Solid Black Blob
They found the mass, deeply embedded,
not far from the heart,
A rush ensued, diary dates not exceeding fourteen days,
keeping the cancer promise.
They saw an enemy to conquer.
I saw a solid black blob on an X-ray screen
in a darkened room.
The darkness was my friend. . . . .
Books available now . . .

ABOUT THE POET
Linda is an ex primary school teacher, now living in Buckinghamshire and as a teacher, she aimed to instill a love of reading and of writing in her pupils. She runs a small writing group in Aylesbury. She has always loved to write and have a large collection of poetry from which she chose poems for this, her first collection. Breast cancer in 2020 caused her to re-assess her life goals.

We are powered, empowered and connected.
