Best Friend

I find her most congenial, and we
have everything in common; it’s a fact!
With all of her opinions I agree.
Our shelves with books and nic-nacs all are stacked.
To exercise at Vasa gym she goes.
I also love that place, and all the time
she’s my companion at the movie shows!
We love to write and love to make a rhyme,
and we are also glad to be a girl
and wear cute clothes and use accessories.
When on the dance floor, how we love to twirl!
My closest friend is such a cinch to please.
If you’ve met “me,” you’ve met my friend. No lie.
She also calls herself “myself” and “I.”

Andrea, your sonnet is so endearing and clever. The ending caught me off guard, though re-reading it, I should have been tipped off by the line, "With all of her opinions I agree"! Who else can we say that about? Charming, a fav. ~ John

This is sweet Andrea. The world would be blessed to have two of you. Does your friend also write?

Hi Andrea, This is such a clever and well written piece. If one is able to have best friend, it's a blessing. I agree with Victor, it sounds you are you own best friend. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great weekend my friend:-) Alexis
