Question:*****
Friends don’t let friends cry alone
by TD Euwaite

I want to sit and hold your hand
Until the afternoon
With sun and rain and robin’s eggs
Daffodils in bloom

I want to hear you let it out
I want to feel your pain
I want to beat the callus cur
That’s treated you this way

As we sit and drink it in
Your heart will slowly mend
And if I see that dog again
He’ll not be man’s best friend

There is no silly here.
While comforting, you are allowed to feel distaste for the person who seems to have defeated a true friend.
I personally think the line is very thick between hate and the numerous words people should use instead of it.

Morning TD

Friends dont let friends...? A mongrel curse be on you for your wicked twist from tear to zeal. Think of all reaching for kleenex boxes and then perplexed. lol

I don't think it is silly. Actually, I find it quite sweet and sentimental and loving. We all need friends who are willing to hold and listen to us when we are feeling low. It's a lovely poem.

Have I taken this poem too seriously? I just assumed the dog/cur was a metaphor.

Let's hope so...It's bad enough that I have to wear this silly face, but the pout is ultra annoying.

Beautiful. I've also been comforted here by my real virtual friends. (And that's not at all oxymoronic).

Thank you so much.I am really very much depressed right now.Very much sad.Thanks a lot,it really mean to me a lot

Maybe the answer I gave you yesterday is even more appropriate: a poem is brilliant when the readers think it is about them...

Well, if you did, (teeter a tad) you walked it well.

it's nice TD..........sweet and simple and hence so beautiful!

Do the mojito....but, work, work, work!

Biloxir would chase that cur away!!!!

You're a good friend. It is not silly.

Uhm, I have a slight critique of your poem TD
The second line: "Until the afternoon " sounds clunky
How about: " Until the 'noon" instead
But otherwise I really like your poem

Yours,
Harry

It's not silly ....I think it's quite good

You may have walked down Lombard Street ............( The Crookedest street in America, San Francisco,California ) a couple of times

And you did not slip& fall ..........
