Dear Friends

This sonnet describes how petty arguments can damage friendships for a life time.

Dear Friends O mine, what canst thou find in feuds?

Be it the action O the battle grounds

What drives thou off yond mountain tops so skew?

To rain upon the day, no joy be found

And what sweet flowers bloom from sour cores?

Those unkind spoken knots along the line,

When years O tensions clot the heart’s front door

And stop the flow; it’s turned to stone-like grime.

What wasted moons thou spent alone at night

Afraid to trust another living soul

For what might be and not the truth at light,

Thy fruitless tears show no remorseful goals.

Oh how I wish to see rough waters calm

But Friends, I shan’t abandon dear ones gone. 

Author's Note

Again, this one is a few years old, so it was one of the original sonnets I had written. The style was inspired while I studied Shakespeare in high school.

Amazing use of the language.
"Thy fruitless tears show no remorseful goals.
Oh how I wish to see rough waters calm
But Friends, I shan’t abandon dear ones gone. "
The above lines are beautiful and true. I like the complete poem. The ancient writers are my favorite. Teach us wisdom if we read them well. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Well done. I enjoyed this about 3 times since it sounded like music to my eyes. :0)

I like the last line best about not abandoning friends. I have found that to be a very good ideal.

Thank you very much ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I never abandon my friends, and I never try to take sides. It's especially hard when you see two of your friends fighting.

That is very wise. I remember studying Shakespeare in high school. I told my teacher that i couldnt get it and might have to drop the class. She told me to sit down and give it a chance! lol

I did and it made more sense and i liked it. Macbeth.

I remember Macbeth! and yes that was actually my favorite part of English class, tough everyone else thought I was crazy XD I found, once you wrapped your mind around wit language and the general context of each situation, you could understand it and appreciate it :)
