Nevi

Aug 9, 2024


Nevi, marks upon the skin we bear,
Clusters of melanocytes resting there,
Brown or black, in shapes they roam,
Each a quiet, benign home.

From childhood's dawn to youthful height,
They form and grow, in morning light.
Some stand alone, some in groups they stay,
Painting skin in their unique way.

A palette rich, in size and hue,
Each one a story, old or new.
Harmless mostly, yet we heed,
The signs that show a deeper need.

Watch for changes, small or grand,
Asymmetry’s uneven hand,
Borders irregular, colors in array,
A pencil’s size they might outweigh.

Evolution marks the tale they spin,
From tiny dots to broader skin.
When shifts arise, heed the call,
To consult a professional, one and all.

For in these marks, a tale might weave,
Of health and caution we must believe.
Nevi, silent yet profound,
In their quiet way, health’s drum they sound.
