Friendship
Often, poetry--and fiction in general--is so focused on romance. However, many of the important connections we make in our lives aren't romantic ones at all, but friendships. Write a poem or short story about your best friend and all the ways they have impacted your life.
friend
Burdens carried for each other
and laughter in the nighttime
a general agreement that everything is okay
when you're together
Think of one another
share those thoughts and
show kindness that way
what a beautiful thing to be on someone else's mind
Praying for each other
wanting the best of all blessings
true love is sacrifice of time and
commitment to the building up of something
Yoked together for the sake of one another,
no plans, no need to strategize
one comes upon the other in moments
meant only to share the best things in life together
and make everything a little easier.
