This is a nice poem. Very systematically written and it goes on smoothly. It creates a clear scene in the readers mind. The picture is best suitable.
Great work.
All the best for the contest!!!

How poignant this is! The last stanza is my favorite because it speaks such truth that we all can relate to. Very nicely done. Hugs, Lou

This poem encapsulates such nostalgia and remininiscence and the ambiance is superb - the sense of loneliness is so effectively conveyed

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with bank/Hank...such/much...bank/Hank. Good alliteration and description. Good storytelling. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

gramalot8: according to our age, our reflections can be quite different. I wouldn't eliminate yourself from the three friends original group; it probably changed as ya'll grew and matured. Isn't very nice that they left and never kept in touch but I believe that some day as they watch their reflection in the water, they do think of you. Nice write, good contest contender. livelylinda

I've seen this painting once before, a few years ago. You've paired it perfectly with your poem. I found your rhyming to be very well done. The poem tells a story, leaving this reader a bit melancholy for the "me". A reflective poem indeed.

This is such a good poem! I really enjoyed it although I'm sorry it wasn't the end for you that you hoped it to be. Lots of memories that most of us can relate to in our childhood of friendships. This is very heartfelt and easy to understand with the flow of the rhyming words. Great job!
