Now, this is my kind of poetry. Simple and makes sense. LOL.
A good one, Arkie. Enjoyed it. One of your best, no doubt.
Thanks for sharing. Is it cold at your place?

    Thank you. It's not been as cold today as it was a few days ago. I'm betting we get slammed with some real winter before the month is out like we did last year. Better stock up.

Hello damommy, Yvonne, your poem is so very cute and light-hearted.
It reads and flows well and has good rhyming within. I especially liked:

"Let's focus on our friendship, and
I think you soon will see,
for us, the world's a happy place
when there's a you and me."
(The essence of this poem and a good rule of thumb for life.)

Y, this poem is so sweet, so much happiness shines throughout.
This poem made me smile. LateBloomer

What a wise person the starfish is, talking like a very wise starfish indeed, and the walrus equally as wise listens and I'm sure agrees, cause after all good friends are hard to find, and therefore very precious. Beautifully written my friend Yvonne, as smooth as silk, blessings Roy

That's so sweet! And when there's a friendship like that we can deal with the unanswered questions and let them be, or enjoy discussing them. Loved your conversational ballad poem! And no starfish or oyster was harmed in this one!

Oh, I love this continuing story of the walrus and starfish, Yvonne. Maybe on a future poem, you will give readers the names of the two friend. Your lines read smoothly with great rhymes and imagery. The walrus is wise, but the starfish is persistent and not one to give up. I like that he thought about the questions even though he didn't find the answers. The walrus, love the name here Oh Whiskered One, is wise for sea critters like the owl is for land critters. The examples of what the walrus replied with about what he didn't know were great and some funny, too. His best reply is to focus on their friendship rather than 'silly' unanswerable questions. Your picture is adorable. You need to copyright it.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thank you so much for reviewing. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is the second part. There is one before it that makes everything clearer.
