You are welcome, Christine, and thanks for sharing. You are a good friend I have gotten to know, as well. A good poem to have shared.

Hello Christine,
I love it when a short, succinct poem captures the theme perfectly.
Extra words would merely dilute the impact.
Perfect use of alliteration with exactly four the "C" words
reflecting the four friends.
Beautifully done, my friend.
Good luck in the contest!
Robert

Hi Chrissy
For a four line poem this had such depth and volume.
The journey of a friendship is pitched so well throughout this marvellous poem, it touched me.
And what a lovely picture to accompany your words.
Loved it

Excellent! You have accurately described friends . I have never had many friends, but those I did have were very close to me. They add a lot to life and are precious.

Such a nice feeling of warmth emanating from your poem, Christine. Friends are so important and yes selected by choice and stick together by choice.

Hi Gloria, Thanks for a read and review my FS friend and yes our choices are important and friends are selected from the many pool of people one comes across in life. often more like family and make us feel important in their lives also Cheers And I will wait and see. Rarely do any good in committee contests. Cheers Christine

What an absolutely perfect description and definition of friends: "connected by chance, selected by choice." You express a beautiful sentiment in only 20 syllables, and perfectly meet the parameters of the Four Line Poem contest. I wish you luck in the judging.

Hi Michele, Thank you and this made me think when I began with the first word Friends so I just thought about how we make friends and the rest seemed to follow. So you comments reflect my thoughts nicely and Cheers for your luck in the judging Christine

I am at a certain point in my life where I am so delighted to be able to choose my friends...because family, alas, does not ALWAYS put the FUN in dysfunctional...and as the saying goes you can pick your friends but not your family. ARGH!
