Sallow cheeks,
Indented eye sockets,
Lips blue,
Edema of abdomen,
Noise of
Cries beside her bed,
Everlasting death claims another.

Heartbreaking!!! Poignantly written!!!
I love how spooky and grim this is. Also great use of Edema. Although, here, we spell it Oedema, and I'm not used to seeing it without the O. It looks like a type of cheese.
Oh, the noises beside her bed. So sad.
Wow - vividly dark and expressive. Well done.
Ouch Sid. That really is dark and depressing. Still a reminder of the truth.
Whoaaa, that was so dark and poignant. Loved your Acrostic!
