A big sign of a one-sided friendship is when you're always there for a friend in need; but when you need them, they're no where in sight! Great Senryu, Sandra! Congratulations on your win! Have a great weekend! Hugs. Pandita

Sandra, a great title crowns your compelling poem describing the unlucky experience of having a ‘fair weather friend ‘. How unfortunate for a selfless friend like you to be repaid by the other’s selfishness. Your sad insight is expressed beautifully. Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan
