Question: Are you an "Organ Donor"!?
Organ Donor

Out of body
hovering above
looking at heart
on cold marble slab
why was it removed
placed there alone
don't they know
I want it back!?

Examined with objective
medical precision
they weigh it
record their findings:
weakened by life's
heavy burdens
she was organ donor
in life but not death!.

Cloud! Beautiful! "in life but not in death" you nailed it babe!.

Going to change my donor status next license renewal!. To be a donor, you must be maintained by machines, and die in a clinical, prolonged situation in order for the organs to be harvested!. Don't want to be on no stinkin machine!.

Oh, and there is a fortress around my heart due to an "Out of body hovering above" incident!. I prefer Five-Leggeds!. Three-leggeds have this teeny tiny brain wannabe thingie between their legs!. *blush* (apologies to decent male Human Beings - rare breed - reading this!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The first thing i thought of was when you lend someone your ears,so that they can be heard or when you give someone your heart or lend a hand!.You kind of become an organ donor!. I nearly had a baby for my sister & her husband a year ago,does that count!? :P
Great thought though to give an organ and still be able to live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Once witnessed a cornea removal from a body to be used for transplant in a vision impaired woman!. (I used to be a nurse)!.!.!.!.It was unnerving to me!.!.!.not the donor issue, but the operation itself was a bit mind-blowing!.!.!.It was both beautiful and invasive at the same time!. I guess that's the whole idea!.!.!.!.huh!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Simple math will tell you why!. The hospital can get a few thousand dollars for saving my life!. But they can get many times that for harvesting my organs and dolling them out!. It decreases the likelyhood of my own survival!. No thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was, but now they don't want my organs!. I had to undergo a transfusion due to acute poisoning, and now my organs have been compromised!. I have lived over 40 more years, but that doesn't seem to matter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, either way you look at it!. I say that only out of honesty not because I want anybody to know!.

Was there a metaphor in there!?

Nice job Sue, this one colored a brighter day than I've been having so far!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I am an organ , skin , eyes etc donor!. Whatever is usable is fine with me as I will be cremated!. This is a real mind rendering poem!.!.!.has me thinking?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, they can take anything that will help someone else!. Been a caregiver all my life and hope it doesn't stop after my death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They can have my blood while im alive, but once im dead, my organs are my organs !!!

Sorry i know that sounds selfish, but thats my opinion!.

Nice poem !!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would offer you my heart but it is now damaged goods and therefore once more I fail to help those in need!.
