Excellent a free verse At Last -- The End by Bill Schott Free Form Poetry Contest contest entry

A time of battle against all odds,   this year came out for blood --   and took it.   A heart re-piped,   stented, attended by those   who saved it.   A brain that bled,   and left the stroke reminder   of paralysis.    A lone kidney that failed,   requiring dialysis   forever.    Last, but not really,   oxygen organs which require daily infusing   of  lung lubricant.    Next year we will strike oil,   find gold, win the lottery --   tax free.    Recognized Author Notes Image from Google.
