for Chantelle Anne Cooke's 'Regal Royal Relationships' Poetry Contest

The friends for whom I most sincerely care are gemstones, and forever may they shine upon the regal friendship crown I wear, for precious are these jewels that are mine! Though dull some of these gems may grow with time (for even strongest bonds can fade or die) I only need to reminisce! Sublime are thoughts I have for friends who’ve said goodbye. Most radiant are gems that have stayed true. Most priceless is the jewel – that rare friend with whom I share my secrets – the friend who fades not away but stays until the end! My loyal friends can never bring me down. They’re royal friends - bright treasures in my crown. 5/9/2020

Loyal friends are royal friends :) The best part is that no matter how many years have gone by and whether we have been in touch or not, our true friends will always be able to get back to us. They are like our second home. Well penned Andrea and Congratulations on your top placement :)

And with someone as cheerful and caring as you ... I bet you have a lot of gems! A great message and excellent ending couplet (added ring with that internal "loyal royal" line!)

You have written yet another stellar sonnet, Andrea... your years of honing this form are so evident in each new one you compose. You use it well here to describe your circle of friends as a bejeweled royal crown, utilizing the metaphor to lovely effect. I see this as a winner! Hugs
