I had a cat named Emmett, so I am laughing at a poetic form with her name. You have a strong steady beat here and a smooth use of rhyming words, possession, concession and possession all fit your poem with a strong emphasis on these words. Excellent poetic form I should try sometime.

That is a fine Emmett poem, and the format has very specific rules which you have mastered well. I too have made many friends on this site, and I am glad you chose friendship as the theme for your poem.

The sense of commonality and community always elicits lasting friendships; some will last beyond FS, and others will fade away, but I believe all the fleeting moments in time make us the happiest rather than the lasting results. This is well written and thought out, Kahpot.

Great job with your Emmet poem, Kahpot! And I'm honored to have you as a friend here. Since you're an expert at looping acrostic poems, this is much easier for you!

Hi Kahpot, a poem of friendship. FS is a wonderful place and a wonderful community. I know some may say what makes FS great is it's stories and poetry, but I say what makes FS really great is the people. The nicest, kindest group of people belong to FS.

Your poem reads and flows well, and your message is clear.

I especially liked:
have been befriended without bounds
(Nice, and so very true)

Ques ... life has given my prized possession ... did you mean my or me?

I love your photo--very good. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

I read it again and again but to me, it rhymes alright and follows the rules of an Emmett but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense!
Lines such as Life has given my prized possession should lead somewhere but it doesn't. I expect the next line to explain the former line and yet each line seems to say something altogether different.
I am not sure whether it was meant to be that way or not.
Please, clarify what your intention was.
Jesse

    Hello Jesse, sorry you did not relate to this one "life has given my prized possession" the next line starts with ( I have made friends...) friends are a wonderful thing I have made many since joining this site, as always very much appreciated****kahpot
