What Is Friendship POTD

friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on


there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere


our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from words
tears running like a river
why did our friendship go bad

Sad, that the friendship which prospered so fine for long finally got wrecked in insult and hurt. The death of an intimate friendship will definitely leave deep scars in one's mind. Beautifully constructed tankas, Paula. All the best.
