I like this poem a lot, because it is an accurate reflection of how true friendship has no room for anger. But probably the best part of reviewing your poem is the outright laugh I got from reading your first reviewer's rating and comments. A laugh of incredulity.

    Thanx so much for your comments on this one, Lady LM -- so good to hear from you.... and, seriously, did you see that nonsense? I do not expect to get all wonderful ratings, but that?? Somebody must have 'pissed in his cornflakes' that morning or something, yeah?! ;) ;) It's okay, I just simply did not respond... and I'm sure it would do him good to know that he gave us a smile and a chuckle for the day! :) LOL! :) Take care, ma'am! :)

    It was the sneering comment "a worthwhile effort" that bugged me the most on your behalf!!

    Thanx for having my back, LisaMay -- as a teacher, you hear those things once in a while...I guess I've just conditioned my self to tune it out; otherwise, I end up hurt too often!! ;) :) You take care over there! :)

I'm probably a harsh critic and others may give higher marks. Is the poem really true? Does it matter if it's not? Perhaps it is among friends that we can have discord without it causing a permanent rift and therefore the colours should not be muted. Still it was a worthwhile effort.

Ooooh! I LOVE this one!! It couldn't be truer, and I love the anything-but-muted colors you found in your photo choice, as well as the background for your words. Brilliantly done! Good luck in the contest. xo

You have made effective use of all your syllables in this poetic statement
about the power of conversation among REAL friends, those who care for
and wish the best for one another.

A very well-written 3-5-3 poem about friendships that last a lifetime where there is no conditions that has to be perfect. We stay friends no matter what the circumstances are.

True friendship is beneficial to friends and society, because poor proposals from a friend are never patronized or supported by other friends; well said, well done. Write to inspire, readable for years -- DR ALCREATOR
