White Wolf Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

  About a close friend who I know will always be there for me, even though we don't see eye to eye on many issues! We resolved our differences the following morning, and now are even closer!

 

My Beloved Friend:

I have a friend that I thought understood,
How do I tell him that he never could?
We have shared our ups and we've shared our downs,
Upon this earth, we have shared our own frowns,
We share in each other what we both like,
I thought we both had the same given sight,
But life in its mysteries is to blame,
For we are one but we are not the same, 
Like the earth and sky, we both yearn to fly,
So please don't tell me that this is goodbye,
Throughout my life, I have made you my friend,
Is it time now my beloved to end?
If only we could share one thing in kind,
For our friendship now is so hard to find.

Joanna Daniel January 28, 2017 at 5:17 AM A great write on friendship, White Wolf, it's always wonderful to share our thoughts with true friends, who will understand us, even though they might disagree:) White Wolf January 28, 2017 at 5:33 AM Yes, we all have our own opinions and philosophies, and it is great to debate them with others! Thanks, Jo /|\

John Herlihy January 27, 2017 at 11:29 PM A frank, honest poem. Yes, friendships can die. We change, others change, nothing stays the same, people drift apart. Your poem handles this topic in a sensitive, insightful manner. John White Wolf January 27, 2017 at 11:32 PM Thank you, John /|\

Just James January 25, 2017 at 5:46 AM I Loved this piece! well done. Have to say a modern sonnet sounds so much better! White Wolf January 25, 2017 at 5:49 AM That's just because they are easier, in my opinion anyway! Thanks, James /|\

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 24, 2017 at 4:55 PM A very moving, touching poem, WW. A true friend delivers the hard truth. It is done out of love, not to hurt their friend. An exceptional poem really. Very honest and forthright. A 7+, my Aussie friend. White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 5:51 PM You are too kind, and also right in what you say, I appreciate it RW /|\

Jan Allison January 24, 2017 at 3:03 PM This person sounds like the best sort of friend to have - you can agree to disagree yet still have a close bond - lovely poem White Wolf:-) hugs Jan xx White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 3:24 PM He really is, I couldn't ask for a better mate in life! And he puts up with me so that shows you how tolerant he is! Ha. Thanks, Jan, for saying hello from all the way from the Isle of Man! /|\

Alexis Y. January 24, 2017 at 11:27 AM I really enjoyed this truthful pen about friendship. A true friend will allow you to be yourself. That alone is a "real" friendship in my opinion. A without doubt seven and a fav:-) Alexis PS, great sonette by the way. White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 11:35 AM They can also put you back in your spot where you belong! Haha. Thanks, Alexis, for your time and comment! /|\

Maurice Yvonne January 24, 2017 at 8:30 AM A great sentiment and conclusion. Wonderful write! White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 9:01 AM Thank you for your kind comment, Budgie /|\

Chris Green January 24, 2017 at 5:57 AM A wonderful poem of friendship and the trails and tribulations that come with it. To disagree is normal, to understand regardless is friendship. Nicely done my friend. White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 6:09 AM Thank you, Chris, I have been away for a few days and am looking forward to reading more of your work, /|\

Demetrios Trifiatis January 24, 2017 at 5:55 AM What a glorious tribute to the understanding of friendship my friend, White Wolf! May you stay forever friends with the person your heart feels so close with! A seven! White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 6:07 AM There is a saying I discovered once: I am not my brother's keeper, I am my brother! I think that says it all! Thank you kindly, Golden Tongue /|\

Claudia Polydoro January 24, 2017 at 4:27 AM This is a gorgeous poem... true friendships endure anything... i hope it works out for you guys - hugs... :) White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 4:36 AM Thank you, Claudia! After what we have been through together nothing could ever separate us as friends! /|\

Darren White January 24, 2017 at 12:15 AM It is so painful when you lose a friend, grow apart, get into a fight, or whatnot... You wrote a wonderful poem about this. I hope it will work out in the end. White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 12:47 AM I can't expect him to understand bipolar mannerisms. But we are old friends and always will be!
