My Tadpole Society Kukai Entry (Color)
by Maureen Glaudepink cancer ribbons
over our breasts --
at her wake
07/16/2004 Author's Note: Dedicated to my late friends Jocelyne and Paulette and all the rest, those who beat it and those who we will lose or have lost, and their loved ones.
This just won me my first First Place in a Tadpole Society contest, on here, in the recent Kukai contest of haiku, in celebration of color.

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/02/04 at 06:28 PM Congrats on a well deserved win for a highly effective poem. Ironic, the ribbons over the breasts with so much breast cancer out there, and we men getting up there in age now have to worry more and more about prostate cancer. |
