Author's Note: This was about my neighbor. I had to write this for my English class. I wanted to hear feedback from the citizens of Whyville! So, please criticism is truly wanted. Thanks!
The canons fire,
but instead of gunfire,
I hear the beep of
the heart monitor.
A fierce battle is fought,
but instead of soldiers,
the warfare is between
cancer and his body.
The battlefield is tired,
but instead of Earth,
the ground is
his small, 11 year-old body.
It seems his body is winning,
but cancer sneaks up
in the middle of the night
and silently attacks.
The gunfire is silenced.
It is all over.
Peace has come again,
but no one knows the battle that was fought.
