Hi Alicia,

So very true! What would we do without our friends?! They really are a "blessing".

Your poem speaks volumes. "Listen and talk, laugh, cry, enjoy" ... that sums it up so well. And isn't it nice that friends accept "the real you". :) We can be ourselves around them.

Hugs,
Connie

Hi Connie! You're such a nice friend. I wrote it for you. The form was so constricting 8-4-4-4 repeat repeat. I'd like to pull a Poe and use the same words repeated ridiculously, but it's phenomonal. I'm not ready yet. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)

What a sweet thing to say! :) Yes, the 4 syllable parts are very constricting. They seem so simple, but they're not.

A very well-written minute poem about friendships that is more giving than receiving. We accept one another with all their flaws and see enjoy their uniqueness.

What is this friendship thing you write of? Just kidding! This poem is about the most ideal elements of a relationship and it's beautiful too! It's, as I like to call it, the way it should be! Congrats again! Well done!

Hi Alicia. Friendship is most important and carries us through good and not-so-good times. The pink rose displayed in in your Minute poem in friendship is extra nice. Marilyn

Good friends are hard to come by. When it's all boiled down one doesn't have many actual friends. Someone once said if you have one actual friend...you were rich, Beautifully written dear Alicia, congrats on your completing the April challenge, blessings, Roy
