The Interloper
in Cancer Poems
You came in uninvited
and decided to stay.
I am going to poison you,
make you go away.

About Ann D. Stevenson
Ann D. Stevenson only began writing after she retired, when she joined a Writing for Well-Being course. It was during a difficult time, as her husband had recently been diagnosed with cancer. She discovered that she really enjoyed writing, especially poetry. It was a real boost to her morale when Family Friend Poems began publishing her poems.
Ann was married for well over 50 years, but sadly is now widowed. However, she is lucky enough to have two happily married children and four grandchildren. She now lives in The Cotswolds in the UK. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA.

Cynthia, I couldn't have asked for a better compliment from a fellow poet I really respect. I think all of your poetry is superb. Especially good to receive a boost to my moral as my husband has recently died.
Great to hear from you. Good luck with your retirement!
Oh Patricia, another lovely poem. I find all your poetry so relatable - it speaks to my heart. Please keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann
Beautifully written and expressed. It is so sad to lose someone you love when they are visibly still there. It must be heartbreaking when it is your own sister.
Best wishes, Ann
Perfect for both kids and adults at Christmas - great fun. Best wishes, Ann D Stevenson
