Friend?

I like the friend, who is a friend,
But not the friend who's not

But the friend who's not a friend of mine?
That doesn't mean a lot!

I know most friends are friendly,
And I know some friends are not.

But the friend that ain't so friendly?
Is the one friend I forgot!

There's friend, and then there's friendly
There's friends and then there's not

Life's to short to argue friend,
'Cause you're the only one I got...

    excellent

    There is so much truth and emotion in these words. Truly touches deep within.

    I like it!!!!

    If you had a true friend, then you have to accept them the way they are. Sometimes, they have your back, sometimes they stab it,sometimes,they are there for you all the way, and sometimes they ignore you and treat you like dirt. Point is, if you can't handle this person being a "friend" in all ways, then just leave em. I had a friend like this, six i was six years old. And today, we are still friends,no matter how mad i got at her sometimes. Very real poem, and a bit whimsical to boot.

    Not to sound mocking ( i hope you have a sense of humor) but this piece reminded me alot of Dr. Suess lol (though perhaps a little darker and macabre). I liked it though. I am a sucker for repition and play on words. This piece flows perfectly and is very easy to read. It captures the reader and isnt something that needs to be readd over many times to be appreciated though I am sure it wouldn't hurt ^_~

    Cute

    This is cute and yes it is a bit of a tongue twister. (Say it ten times really quick without stuffing up!!) lol. Also I noticed in the second last lines that you have Theirs friend, and then theirs friendly Theirs friends and then theirs not is the theirs meant to be there's?? just was wondering is all.

    Keep writing

    Cute yet meaningful

    Okay, I have to admit that this poem kind of made me giggle. I like the way you rhymed here. I like the way this poem is so friendly and genuinely pure and not full of malice and underlying meaning. Its quite blunt actually. Most of all I like the last two lines.."life's too short to argue friend, 'Cause you're the only one I got..." I agree! lol If you spend too much time wondering about who is your friend and who is not.. What the hell, who cares.. at least you have one friend right?? Screw the rest.

    This makes me happy. Which is strange because it's probably not the happiest poem lol. But it makes me laugh and makes me happy and makes me hyper. I like the play on words - it's like a riddle. Complex simplicity

    Danny, really like this one, it's simple but NOT! Once again tho I have to say spelling theirs and there's...that's my critique..they do have spell check on here...this style is my fave so far, and it isn't so depressing. Good job!

    Hmm, this poem got a little bit confused so I really had to read it a second time and focus my mind completely on it I really like the message you've managed to reflect within the lines here thank you for sharing and welcome to the site!
