Friends are like butterflies
we gather and take home
our words, like thunderstorms
damaging delicate wings!
singing their songs
as a bird upon the wing
personalities blending
into beautiful things
sweetly holding hands
now standing in the rain
offering up a prayer
that society might refrain!

hello John, a few thoughts to get you started
Some Friends are
fragile, like butterflies
each relationship
shining brightly on its own
we gather and take home
sometimes our words
like thunderstorms can
damage their delicate wings!
These words...
will definitely help. Cat I wanted it to be a happy write and this will help! Thank you again!!!
Good poem. Friends share
Good poem. Friends share truth within an environment that fosters careful wording
Thank you Sir...
I was trying to describe the song of hope that we all should have in this crazy world,
although that song in particular seems to be having a fleeting refrain!
A good start
Friends certainly are delicate like butterflies and easily damaged by harsh words and treatment. But when cared for and nurtured, friendships blossom into beautiful things. Good job
Fiends!
Thank for your wise and kind comments. Specifically, I was aiming at a worldwide friendship or brotherhood.
Thanks for reading and taking an interest in my writing. I appreciate your comments!
Offering up a prayer
Hey Aesthetic,
What are we praying for? The end of stormy/harmful friendships? (You asked about internal logic in your review request, this is an internal logic question, want to make sure I understand the poem).
