It's Silly Haiku Wednesday again over at Jenn's blog, and the theme is friendship. While I am frequently a silly friend myself, and am lucky enough to have many silly friends (love, love the silly friends), this week's theme doesn't foster a silly vibe -- just a true one. Here are poems for three friends:
Make new friends, but keep The old. One is silver but
The other is gold.
The other is gold.
My oldest friend -- sheSeems more like my blood sister.
No pal is truer.
No pal is truer.
"I, too, sister!"Sisters of the heart,
She thinks like me, laughs like me --
Loves me all the time.
Loves me all the time.
My sister -- my best
Friend. We've lived it together;
We share scars and joy.
We share scars and joy.
Sister, friend, sister --Sister, friend. Friend. Sister-friend.
Sister. Friend. Sister.
Sister. Friend. Sister.

Well said! I love the picture of the old ladies - hope I have my "gold" friends in my golden years.
ReplyDeleteOMG how did you write so many haikus? I am lucky to get one!
ReplyDelete"I, too, sister!" xxoox, ~Coleen
ReplyDeleteI like the first one, do you know the next verse...
ReplyDeleteNew made friends, like new made wine, age will mellow and refine.
I love that, I think there's another one too something like; a circle's round, it has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend.
Love the last one! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never met
ReplyDeletemy new friend Liz. However,
we think the same things.
Ok,Maureen -- now you're making me cry.
ReplyDeleteHaiku poetry
ReplyDeleteis fun to read and write, and
does not have to rhyme.
Counting syllables
is helped by employing one's
hand some fingering.
Gee, Liz, I wish I knew how to center this comment the way your photo-married haikus are!
