An old friend...

We all have one, some more close than others...


Poem Artwork

Being alone is my oldest friend,

He has been with me from my start,

And will likely be with me to my ultimate end,

Never will we from each other part…

 

It’s not such a bad thing,

We know each other quite well,

Though once in a while we do ride on the same Swing,

Those days we do with each other feel quite swell…

 

Either way we keep each other somewhat happy,

Together we stay, together we are,

Don’t want to make this sound too sappy,

So I will end it right here with the fact that from each other we never stray far…

This is actually a powerful verse that so many of us can relate to. Sad, but true, or maybe not so sad...

I agree with Ron on this one. You "said" a lot in that first stanza. Love and peace to you, Ed.

Nothing wrong with being your own best friend...when you like yourself enough others are drawn to you...nicely done, Ed!

Should have ended it after that first stanza. That alone, will make a poet of you. And then he had to go ruin a good thing with some of your self apologetic, sappy, slaphappy, drivel. If I were you. I'd push the reedit button and delete those last two stinking phrases. “Badges, we don't need no stinking badges.” The poet federales boasted. With a certain sinister twinkle in the eye.

Go have a great Fourth of July!
