    Hey Dolly... I once had a poet friend who said if you want to write slit your wrists and bleed on the page... right or wrong... I'm deeply humbled by your stellar review but even more so by the fact you understood that life has many sides and sometimes we are faced with reality. I wanted the voice to tell the truth... Every time I post something this honest I cringe. Thanks so much and again I'm grateful for your thoughts. Yours, diana

This is a fantastic poem about exaltation of friendship, sacrifice and decisiveness about goal of euthanasia, there is good flow of thoughts, nice imagery and visual portrayal; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

I thought you did a good job with the contrasts between the lively party, and the news that your friend is committed to euthanasia . The champagne and the lively chatter seem to define his life, and his willingness to take his own life to end the pain and suffering is all the more poignant. The last line was really strong. "The friendship we shared is deafening and silent." the contrasts there are really powerful and we feel ourselves pulled in two different directions; sympathizing with him, and feeling the pain of the loss. estory
