My Best Friend Poem by Akhtar Jawad

My Best Friend

Rating: 5.0


A crazy foolish poet,
who wanted to write a poem on his best friend,
was going to ask Kelly Kurt,
are you my best friend?
But then he thought,
how he can be his best friend,
He is a believer,
and Kelly an atheist.
Then he decided to ask Mahakul,
whether he is his best friend.
But then he thought,
how he can be his best friend,
their religions are different.
One by one he rejected all probable faces,
Marie Shine is from west and the poet from east,
Hazel Durham for her white skin,
Loke Koke Yee's mother tongue different,
Asim Nehal is from enemy country.
Bri Edwards is a truthful critic.
One by one discarded his entire friends,
And then he talked to his wife.
"No", she said, "I am not your best friend,
But I know your best friend."
She rushed to the room of my grandchild
and brought for me a repeater parrot!
Do you know who that foolish poet is?
Yes, you are right,
He is Akhtar Jawad!

(In this poem I have mentioned the friends from poemhunter.com)

We should all be our own best friends. I am honored, as I'm sure are all the others mentioned, to be considered as friends with Akhtar Jawad.

1 - dear friend, Akhtar, i came to check this out after seeing the title. i wondered who YOU would consider your best friend, and how you would express yourself. i 'love' the poem, and i think i'm correct in saying you ARE a foolish poet for rejecting anyone because of their race, religion, etc. etc. (cont.)

There is always a tussle between mind and heart, between facts and figures and between dreams and illusions, In this poem you sincerely tried to figure out how choices are made with references and preferences, I am humbled by your kind gesture to include me in your list of friends. As usual a thought provoking poem.10+++
