YOUR FRIENDS

They`re just a bunch of bums `til you need a friend.

YOUR FRIENDS

 

They are legend

Legend without end

Your Friends

 

Why must I

Sit here and cry

They`re yours

 

Twisted little girls

Men with little pearls

What kind of friends ?

 

Bar flies in the night

Men in a sorry plight

Friends ?

 

Sad old woman lover

Wants something newer

A friend

 

Give you two for one

I`ll be a son-a-gun

You got a friend

 

Well, I`m a one of those

Friends will wipe your nose

While you say, friend ?

 

But look to the very end

Nowhere will you find a friend

like those

insightful. i enjoyed this

[Lucinda Bogart]

That gave me a warm feel good... lovely !

I disagree with Leah, not using friend repeatedly, would change the effect. I also think everyone has had a "version" of all the "friends" you have listed here. Very interesting play on words.

My favorite line... but look to the very end, nowhere will you find a friend like those.

Drop by when you get a chance... and Kudos.

It was interesting I liked it to a gertain extent but I do wonder the message you wanted to relay was it that some friends will act horrible to you but then be there when you need them the most if that is what it is I totally got it if it was something other than that I am totally lost. I really want to know the meaning so contact me or something, then again it could be that there might be a typo or something who knows. Except with most poems it is usually a typo that messes me up. I did like it just got confused.

This is really good. It has this anguish towards past friends kind of feeling, but also a desire to not be alone feeling. I love the question of what friends are. That's something that we all need to figure out eventually.

I loved this, I think that using the word friends over and over again helps bring the feeling across better.
It appeared through this, that you were showing us two types of friends, Ones that are there all the time through everything, and the other, the kind that would be your friend if you bought them a beer.
Thats what i kinda picked up.
I so agree that true friends are the kind you want, the kind that will wipe your a*s, if you can't. :)
Good poem!

You say friends over and over and I think it would help the peom be more interesting if you used different words for friends, like compainions...or you know synomyms for friends.
Really nice peom though, I liked it a lot
