This was a beautiful and tragic picture you have painted with your few words. I can't imagine the pain that must have gone into these wishes. Thank you for sharing your great poem here. Best wishes.

The author's words are heartfelt, meaningful, clear and creative. What
a beautiful thought to have a wishing fountain at the Cancer Center. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome!
Great Poem, Gypsy!

So few words are used to express so much pain. I wouldn't be surprised to know that it is the same all around he world. Very well done!

Prayers, money of various denominations, hope--we offer them all because of the killer named cancer. You chose a meaningful, touching setting for this expressive, timely poem.

This would be a great way to raise extra money for cancer victims. Hopefully, no one would steal the money. I enjoyed reading your great post. It is a great idea. This should be done at all hospitals, clinics, etc.
This is an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing.

Gypsy,
This is a good mix of words and artwork. It shows how many wishes for cures that are made. And that is just a small percentage porbably, I hope that money all goes to research and treatment.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Hello Gypsy

This haiku could also be a senryu I suppose. In either case it's written with a master's touch. Medical science is necessary for treating dis-ease but a little bit of luck doesn't hurt.

Always a pleasure and privilege to review your exceptional work my friend.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

    You are right, it's a senryu, I am so used to haiku sometimes I forget.

    Thank you very much for your exceptional review and kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.

Definitely a beautiful haiku, Gypsy. What a wonderful picture, that definitely is a lot of coinage. Your words showed the power of that coinage and the power of love and faith. Blessed be n hugs!

Gypsy,

Let's hope that the coins in the fountain will help cancer victims in the future. Very nice idea you have penned! I wish the same for Covid sufferers.
