For the third in this series of aHUS in different genres we sought poetic verse in the style of Shakespeare, Keats and Longfellow.
Plus a Japanese haiku.
The themes of HIDEN, ENEMY, DARKNESS, DAUNTLESS and COURAGE pervade.
SHAKESPEARE
AMIDST LIFE’S INTRICATE AND MYSTIC DANCE
Amidst life’s intricate and mystic dance,
There lies a shadow, veiled from mortal sight,
Atypical HUS’s lance,
Doth pierce the spirit with relentless might.
Its silent whispers weave a darkened thread,
Through red flowing river, its domain unknown,
Within the depths of flesh, its presence spread,
A silent foe, its treachery is shown.
Yet in the midst of this relentless fray,
A glimmer of hope doth softly rise,
For in the hearts of those who face the day,
Resides a strength that never truly dies.
Though aHUS may cast shadows grim and wide,
In unity, we stand, undaunted, side by side.
KEATS
Ode to aHUS
Amidst life’s labyrinthine, shadowed halls,
There dwells a specter, silent, veiled from view,
Atypical HUS calls,
Its presence whispered, yet its grip so true.
In veins it weaves its intricate design,
A dance of cells, in chaos, they contend,
Yet in the heart, a spark of hope may shine,
A light that guides, through darkness, to the end.
Oh, Keatsian muse, inspire this mortal pen,
To capture beauty in this somber tale,
For in the struggle, there’s a strength within,
A courage that no darkness can assail.
Though aHUS may cast its daunting shade,
In unity, we find our light, our aid.
LONGFELLOW
BANISHING THE NIGHT
In the quiet of the night’s embrace,
aHUS, a silent foe, leaves its trace.
Within the veins, its tendrils creep,
Stealing health, as mortals weep.
Yet in the heart of every soul,
A flame of hope burns, taking its toll.
With courage strong, they face the fray,
In the fight against aHUS, day by day.
Through trials and tribulations deep,
They press on, their resolve they keep.
For in unity, they find their might,
Conquering aHUS, banishing the night.
