Each of us who realize we are truly blessed have crossed lives with particular people who have become so significant to us that we can’t imagine parting with their friendship. There are those few in our lives who will always find a fitted cove in our hearts.
This contest is to honor just such close friendships, and in particular to honor a good friend of mine and many of yours here on AP…Bunny Langer (Cupcrazy).
I am looking for poems about friendship that would appeal to Bunny. She loves depth, imagery, metaphor and fresh thoughts or turns of phrases. If you write something she can feel when she reads it, you will do well in this contest. Write from your fitted cove for this one…and use your noggin’ too!
10-40 lines, please
feel free to reserve if you want
So as Bunny would say, “Hop to it!” I can’t wait to see what ya do!
*Special thanks to Everwind Rising for honoring Bunny by donating 2800 points toward this contest.

Thank you, everyone, for such beautiful tribute poems. There is no treasure to equal a good friend, and none better to articulate a treasure's value than such amazing poets as yourselves.
I know that Bunny was tremendously touched by your offerings, and I, too, thank you most sincerely for the gifts of your hearts and pens. You guys are the best!
There were many trophy-deserving poems, and those that did not receive one will soon be awarded a few points accordingly, courtesy of Everwind Rising's point donation and gift to Bunny.
GOLD- As If Last Ones Alive
SILVER - Heart of Serenities Light
BRONZE - Meeker Nose to Quiver Flower
GOLD was packed full of breathtaking, and compelling imagery and spoke so perfectly about the connection of souls in friendship's communion.
SILVER had such wonderful perspective of time and friendship, acknowledging the effect one life has others, even afar off.
BRONZE wove together simply gorgeous images of peace and beauty and demonstrated how one person's words/actions can bridge distances, bringing us into a marvelous place of togetherness.
Again, I thank you ALL for your excellent entries, and for taking the time to help me honor our dear friend. You made her smile, and made me proud to know you, or in some cases, just to have the privelege of sharing your thoughts.

Old Friends and Guitars___
Something about old friends and guitars
Their sound gets sweeter with passing time
Sometimes they get dusty and out of tune
And the conversations don’t always rhyme
So play your old songs
Wait forever with friends
Till Better comes along
After the world ends
Old tunes and old friends
Make music that soothes the soul
Harmonies and dry red wines
Warm the cup and fill blessings bowl
So play your old songs
Wait forever with friends
Till Better comes along
After the world ends -

Good one, donnz
Old friends and guitars, definitely! I have an amazing friend who plays guitar and shares so much of himself through it. It is the perfect analogy to a beautiful relationship. I loved this! Thank you!
