Old Friends Poems - Poems about Old Friends

Mom writes polemics, when a cause grasps her heart She's a good soul and wants to do her part A journal took one, so she emailed it to friends Then found that old age had brought many to their ends Sometimes children answer back, or maybe a weary wife They thank her kindly, talk about the...

Today we visited the Farmer’s market in Ballard. It was a beautiful sight to see… Booths that stretched for two whole blocks….managed by people of all diversities… On our way to the Farmer’s market… (I love when we discover surprises out of our control) we happened upon one of Thomas Dambo’s six Northwestern trolls. We also visited the Ballard Locks… where we...

Upon well-worn barstools, tales two codgers tell, Deep in drink, their stories swell. Reflecting how the eons have flown, Strengths once had, now overthrown. "Ah, beauties chased, both bright and keen, Yet in our brews, our sighs unseen," One muses, his gaze alight with jest, "Great tales spun ‘bout adventurous quests." Yet as dusk deepens into night, Their bawdy laments take flight, For now, as...

The Ghost denied he was a Ghost, though clearly I saw through -- Someone I knew in life, back then quite pink, substantial with lots and lots to do – tried and tried convincing him all to no avail, myself even now more pale till recognized he dear friend, himself who had read my eulogy…....

I hate you a lot. With a burning passion in my heart. The way you creep around its weird. The way you just look, it makes me sick. The way you twist my words and manipulate me. The guilt you bring me when you start to blame me. The way I am stained with the fact that I was fond...

Contest Prompt: "I'm okay, you're okay is a mask in the land of pretend." Old Friends "OK?" "Yes fine" - I lie over the cold phone line wishing the plastic receiver was warm, like when you held my hand in yours. Too many years and lies between us now. Divorced, but love you still, so I have to ask back "You OK?" - and I hear you...

Each day I find life gets more upsetting because too often I keep forgetting the names of loved ones I should remember. They shouldn't fade like a dying ember, so I talk to them instead of fretting. Sometimes I offer them a pot of tea to show I'm grateful for their company. "Would you like a scone?" I asked my friend, Kay. "Yes,...

We had dinner with two dear old friends at a restaurant yesterday… Old friends reminded me of this old poem I bring back to life today: They meet as strangers…unfamiliar…apprehensive… their first meeting…tentative but sweet. Which, when you stop to think about it, is how most people meet. From this uncertain beginning…their relationship extends They find they have a lot in...

For Brenda... I'd been thinking 'bout a show we did together, Get a call out of the blue, You're in town, just passing through, Maybe we could meet up later if I'm free. You say the name of your hotel, Yes, I know it very well, Why don't you go down to the bar And wait for me. It's more than twenty years since...
