I really enjoyed this humble picture of two old friends meeting up to while away the hours over times past.
True friendship means just that, no reason. It just is
Thank you for sharing.

You painted such a tender image of someone who's ready to drop everything to support a friend. The gentle rhyme is perfect. You captured the warmth of friendship beautifully. It left me feeling both touched.

Hello!

This poem actually touched me. I had something very similar happen to me just recently that makes it particularly meaningful. The FACT of the poem is that people need people. We all need that one person that will set aside their life for awhile so we can vent or cry or explain or seek advice or confess. I feel sympathy for any person who does not have this person in their life, for they are so needed.

Thank you for the sentiment of this poem. It is truly universal! Good luck in the contest!

Patrick

This is what true friendship is about, dropping everything for someone who needs us and turning up when they call us. I enjoyed your poignant post as you captured the moment when we sacrifice our own pleasures for someone in need, love Dolly x

This ten-line poem, When a Friend Calls, has the proper formatting and makes me think another ten lines might help me take this poetic tale to its conclusion.

In your ten line poem, you use well chosen words to express the feelings and call for friendship. During older ages, friendships, socializing, and conversations prolong life while holding dementia at bay. (per medical journals) Your poem describes a really caring and good friend. Best wishes in the contest.
