You capture so much in your words.
I truly treasure the friends old and new who are true and can be counted upon in all times.

Just a word here and there; the unexpected hello and the smiles that let you know "it's okay".

    I love everything you write. Really awakens the imagination and makes me want to be in that place you write about (very often)

I forgot what Pantygant (Jim) named it but I do remember the form, Yvonne. That was some time ago and it didn't catch on like many others have. I appreciate the fact you found it. Good job. The words are so true. Thank you and have a great day, Dear. Nancy:)

    I'm going to do a few more and get people interested. It's a great form. A few have already shown interest.

One is indeed blessed to have such a true and lasting friend. The relationship withstands time and distance. Beautifully written, and I do liked the rhyme format, it's just a little different and fresh.

What a lovely poem about friendship and loyalty. The picture so aptly supports your poem. Someone wrote this in my autograph book when I was a child;
True friends are like diamonds precious and rare
False friends are like autumn leaves found everywhere
Take care Franky

This is a most interesting form. I just read your profile note, so will take down the instructions and give one a try.

Excellent work here, and a very lovely sentiment. :))

    Oh, good. I was hoping it would catch on. Nancy said it hadn't seemed to and she had forgotten about it. Thank you, Gloria.

How true. We all need that one special friend with whom to share our joy and sorrow. I like this form and remember having seen it before, though I don't recall what Jim called it.

    It's A Quickstep Duo. I posted the instruction a little late in the profile thoughts. Thanks, Tony.

Very nice poem, and how true. I thought the form was very effective. Today you are lucky to find a friend such as you have described. I hope you are lucky enough to have more than one.

Your poem is AWESOME, Yvonne. You describe perfectly what a true friend is to another person. Your lines read smoothly with great rhymes. The image is a perfect choice, too. I could see everything as I read. You are right about a true friend who is an angel in disguise to stand by you through thick and thin and love you for YOU1 I enjoyed reading your beautiful poem.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
