A sonnet on friendship and well-said too. I agree with every line, not that agreeing with someone's poetry is worth anything--haha. I don't get to this site as often as I did, and this is one you really have to keep up with--otherwise you gather messages galore and you have not enough time (or me,
energy) to fix it! But enjoyed your nicely metered, rhyming sonnet--hope you're wintering well. God Bless!

Jay, so very true. Friends do help us through life. It's nice to make new ones and still treasure the old ones. It is good when friends know us so well and they still love us

This sonnet is a lovely testament to friendship. The rhythm was perfect and the rhyme scheme kept it bright. The hall of memories was a nice phrase. It would make a good book title. We are so blessed to have friends who will be with us through good times and bad.

Beautifully written. As a fellow Kentuckian, I agree with the importance of friendship that has been melded throughout the yrs. Something to be learned in this hustle and bustle world. I believe the best line is the last one. It sums up the importance of all the rest. Well done.

I really enjoyed reading this post. Yes, a true friend is definitely a blessing. I like your use of rhyme, and the meter. My favorite line is the last one. Blessings... Christy

I liked this sonnet, it was very well crafted, with a tight iambic pentameter and rhyme scheme, a great closing couplet, and a nice sublime, warm tone to it. Very conversational language makes it easy to read, easy to relate to, and very soft. "Shed light upon my heavy laden heart/ These are the things that friendship can impart" and "Hold true the friends acquired along the way, Instill in them a sense of sharing trust" are some of my favorite lines. Super closing couplet really ties it all together in a neat little bow. great job with this sonnet estory
