Conquest At The Hospice Comments

Thanks for appreciating this, Sue. Her way of dealing with her coming death was a great lesson to many of her friends. She died a month ago.

Thanks, Aung Si, for giving attention to this verse. Thanks also Babatunde for giving a very encouraging response. My friend died and one of the things I would like to remember her is her courage being demonstrated at the hospice. For me it was her gift to all of us who fear our own deaths.

...she vangished the ugliness of death What a great expression. This is a wonderful poem. You succeeded in presenting the agony of the last days of a hospitalised person in sonorous lines. Keep writing.

I enjoy the whole poem especially the last stanza.Loved it.
