Inside Information for Friend Damian

sonnet variant

 

 

 

 

Inside Information.

 

Some can detect malevolence

which masquerades as innocence.

They see at once through the pretence

 alerted by their inner sense.

Some take new friends at face value

an all too common thing to do.

Accepting that their words are true.

 Something which they may later rue.

The warning signs are there to see

 you pick them up subconsciously.

So you should listen carefully

and trust your instincts completely.

 Before you finally decide

 to accept them as bona fide.

What wisdom you lend to your freind.. So True.. the new glistens with gold patina and time shows the fake lack luster while the tried and true are discounted. Great friend you are and it helps all who read it as well.

How true. Fair weather friends are more common than the lifelong kind that we can count on one hand most of the time. Beautiful poem. I am certain Damian appreciates your kind words. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Light,
