Bejeweled Friends

Success is made of dreams in your pocket
No person can ever steal them.
Many, unfortunately, will try

The joy of hurting a close friend?
By not reading them or no mail, suddenly.
Is a sad but to be expected reality.

Not when you are new, oh no!
But unless in a clique or commenting all day?
You are worthless as rotting old hay.

I know who my friends are here.
I hold those jewels, quite dear.
Thank you for adding true value to my life.

Sally Eslinger Date: 3/29/2022 11:56:00 AM Panagiota! A true penning on one of the dimensions of friendship. Very nice flowing lines soften an often difficult theme and life issue. Thank you! Blessings! Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 3/29/2022 12:28:00 PM Sally. As in the world, or worse online, I think, your dear friends can drop you like a hot potatoe. It says everything about their shallowness and.... Nothing about you. Some here use us with their comments to climb the community board. My question, are they here to write! Sure 2 liners or one liners.or 10 a day.10 is great practice! It’s a brutal topic. One Poet suggested I be thrown off the Soup? In open post. What a man, eh? Not! So be careful of friends. I have knives in my back. Ouch! I write despite the blood and insults. Pangiexx

Eve Roper Date: 3/28/2022 12:37:00 PM To a lady with a valuable past, but also valuable wisdom. Through the aches and pain our valued children, grandchildren, and sincere friends are worth staying around for. Thank you for the constant great inspiring compliments.

I try my best Eve. In return, know Ionly read special people here like you. Iam no comment freak. That tribute you wrote totally blew me out of the water. It is my poem of year. You are genuine! Congratulations. Pangie

Joe Dimino Date: 3/28/2022 12:30:00 PM I hear you, Pangie. I can relate, but we sometimes forget that our writing companions for years are getting older also...eyes failing, needing naps...hang in there. A few good friends are worth a whole bunch of other.

So true..lots of older ones, to be sure...I don’t want 50 comments.LoLhave found too much baloney. Beauty comes in small bouquets of honest friends like the honest folks who commented here. Pangie Thank you
