Friend Vs Enemy



                       Friend

                Warm, amicable 

       Visiting, shopping, celebrating

    Makes you whole, don't want to part

  No communication, avoids you, hurts you

                   Distant, bitter

                         Enemy

Interesting it is to me, how reflection can be found within words shaped like a diamond. Distinct faceted words within this gem. The longer you know me the more you'll find I have no problem digging deep beneath the surface. This includes reading more than just the most recent thing someone posts. I very much appreciate your directness, fearlessness, to speak truths about how you want to be addressed. Warm regards A.S.

Dear AS, I even wrote a poem on thar! Why do poets only read the latest? I don’t know. It’s not like older poetry's insignificant, it’s not like moldy bread.i see you know me already. I prefer writing about the human spirit, others are far better with imagery,being true in my poetry is paramount. Rarely can I write stories or humor, others are far better. I appreciate you.

You are direct in your poetry my friend. Always following truth and writing in vein with that high standard. As always your writing gifts its message with clarity, honesty and deliberate care for others. And yes, this world first offers its legions of enemies, while we must wisely seek our friends and be a true friend to them. A fav.. God bless.

Not only know but truly and deeply respect as well. I see a depth that comes from the tender heart of a true poet that has --lived-- and lived well. Learned well and now gives back in verse. Such is the essence of a true poetic soul.. Such sets a standard that in line with what poetry is .... God bless..

Its hard to get it to correct shape. But after I wrote it, I could almost tell who my friends were at the soup and who were not, Very obvious what category you are in.)) Pangie xx
