Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.
Today's notion?
THE CURE
And here's the irony: These are lyrics from Lovesong, which was written, performed and released back in 1989 by (are you ready for this?) The Cure!
Then I really let my mind rock and roll and wondered what I would, if I could, cure. What would you put your energy into? For now, how about a poem? THE CURE. Ponder it. Work it. Write it.

I initially chose this topic after reading this NY Times article detailing the case of a child born HIV positive who's been declared cured. Not in remission. CURED! He is healthy. He is well. He is whole.
After reading the article, these words sang through mind: I Am Whole Again.

Although I will be on airplanes for the bulk of the day, I look forward to reading some amazing poems as soon as I settle in and find an internet connection! ~ Kim
