The responses were overwhelming, more so, the generous reflections on the poem. This is true friendship among poets. May we never run out of poems to lavish on one another. For this poetic flush, I have my own true friend to thank, forgiving those days when I'm crabby and unpoetic in satiric prose.
To lay down your life for a true friend! Both the definition of a true friend and true love. Eloquently depicted in this excellent poem. Doris, Congratulations on a very well deserved Poem Of The Day!
Thank you for the appreciation. You make me know someone hears out there, through time.
Strong feelings straight from your heart. Beautiful to read with further understanding with your notes.
Dear poet Doris, the comparative study between love and grief shows that LOVE remains hidden both in love and grief. So, one must not get frightened of loving his or her friend. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful poem with us...10 Chandan
