hi guys, I need some help. I have been mulling over an idea that keeps swimming about in my head that needs exposure, but I need a metaphor for our disease other than "the beast that devours". I really want to write about how cancer "devoured" 3 of my friends and is making its mark on another as we speak but I would appreciate a leg up with this metaphor. If you can help with a starting point, I will have a crack at a poem. (The first after 35 years). The glass half full side of cancer prompting me to write again?! Thanks for your wisdom and creativity, Samex
