A friend reveals their true heart when you are feeling blue. Their compassion cheers your spirit as they know the 'real' you. They listen to you vent your anger when it consumes your day To commiserate and reach out in a non-judgmental way. A friend also is a treasure because your joy they love to share. They help you keep your sanity when chaos you must bear. Never forgetting your birthday or when holidays roll 'round. You trust them to keep your secrets for they are honor bound. A special poet friend helped teach me how to write in form Her talent shines unwavering in words high above the norm. Indeed she is a teacher, and English grammar her expertise. She knows the earth, the seas, and skies beyond the Pleiades. 1-9-18

She did not mention what the prize is Andrea. It is very nice of her to give a prize to the top three. I am having a full moon kind of day with my A/C dripping on my bookcase and bed. The guy won't come check it out till Monday. It is hot and humid so I am letting it drip as it is still cool.: (

Oh, Connie, I'm so pleased to learn it is you who wrote this beautiful poem. Congratulations on taking third place! I already have your address, so a prize will be mailed to you. (Hope it isn't carried to you on the back of a sea turtle.) Thank you so much for supporting the contest with this wonderful poem. Hugs, Carolyn

Oh Carolyn, I am thrilled to have made the top three! I am so happy you two liked my poem. Thank you so much. It is not necessary to mail me a prize. Just getting in the top three with all these winners is prize enough for me! Yes, it was written about Andrea who has helped me so much over the years. We met around 1999 I believe. I learned how to write a proper sonnet with her guidance. Blessings to you, love Connie xxoo

You wrote about Andrea, right? The mention of "teacher" gave it away.
