Lucky is the person who has "A" friend. Here someone has three amigos.
A Sierra Madre goldmine for sure. Life is easier with confidante support.
You are a lucky she.

This poem is lovely and I really envy you your long term friends. I never really had friends as a child, nor even as an adult. My husband and I were introverts and didn't socialize with others. I wish you best of luck in the contest.

Nicely done... A wonderful heartfelt work about friendship.

I loved the opening stanza. It's descriptive yet vague.
Without the title as a clue, it would be hard to know your direction...It makes it a good hook.

I also liked the comparison phrasing you used elsewhere.

It's funny that there are so many people that have so many friends. And yet, I wonder, are they really friends? I have just a few friends and as we become older they dwindle in number. I find for the most part, that my friends are irreplaceable. But I feel so lucky to have had them in my life. Their perspective and feelings for me are similar to what you have expressed in your poem. Best wishes.

    Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging review. I think we can only have a few friends. Lots of acquaintances, but only a few true friends. I too feel lucky to have them.

A true friend is gold dust, once you have one, they are there for life. This tribute to your three friends is lovely, and you must show them so they know just how appreciated they are. We never tell our friends that enough. They will be thrilled. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you Sandra for your thoughtful and encouraging review. They are "gold dust" and I gave them each a copy of the poem. They were thrilled. They have often been my inspiration.

A wonderful tribute to the power of friendship and friends, in beautiful poetry, clear and straightforward, yet interesting imagery ("eg like shiny apples in the sun"). Obviously different, yet accepting of each other, and sharing the journey of life together, enriching each one, as they are free to "trust each other with their souls". Very best wishes. Excellent entry.
Wendy

This is a well-conceived Tribute poem. The text is a great size. A darker black /bold would make the text not seem faint. It would also go well with the black sky in the visual. Your entry is colorful, so the text would match the richer tones of the visual. The message is heartfelt, well stated in thought and rhyme scheme. I wish only that the last line was an original saying related to this friendship. The saying you have written is commonly said. The visual fits perfectly. I like that is a cartoon. Good luck in the contest.
