Friends For Never

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
A very concise recitation of how one can gain a friend, trust that friend, be betrayed, then lose that friend. This one has a best outcome though, no revenge.
In my circle I have no "friends" for just the reason you so eloquently define. I have associates, I have acquaintances, but not friends.
Very nicely written, easy read, nice rhythm, good rhyming, flows nicely and tells an all too familiar story. I seldom award poetry six-stars just because it usually isn't long enough to have anything to actually appraise, however in this case, the entire piece was so smooth it has earned six-stars. Good job!

In the age of social media, it's easier than ever to cause harm, and people seem increasingly eager to do it, all for the false fame of likes! This is well written and tackles the subject effectively - nicely done.

Thank you for reading my poem. I think you're right, it happens all the time.
Comment from Frank Malley
"Friends for Never" is a rhyming poem in four-line stanzas that mourns the betrayal of the narrator by a supposed friend who breaks the bond of trust present in friendship by posting secrets on Facebook. I'm sure that in reality this has happened millions of times, and that a million people could align with the feelings present in this poem. As a teenager, an individual is at that strange juncture of innocence and experience, and much that is painful is generated by that mix of milk and vinegar.

Wow, that was a powerful poem. I take it somebody is pissed at somebody. As for the subject of betrayal, I think you hit it on the head. The poem has a nice rhythm. I think it could make a nice song. Good luck on your entry.
