Bri's Best Friend....[ An Answer To P H Poet Chandan Dey's Question; Short; Serious ]

Rating: 5.0


Chandan, I doubt I've ever thought of "it" this way before,
but you've asked who's my '"best friend" & here's 'the score'.:

Normally I'd say a high school friend, Karl; he lives now in Bangkok,
OR my younger brother, Tom*, and, ..that he IS, is somewhat of a shock,
since, growing up, Tom and I were not so often on "the same page",
and differences in lifestyles increased with our advancing age.

Today you've 'set me thinking', AND today "my best friend'"...
may actually be YOU.At least for a few minutes (a few) .
Yes, the one who gives me friendly attention may be..
the winner of my "My Best Friend" award.Yippee!

But.........ONLY while the moment does last! ! !


* living now in New York State USA

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet's Notes:

On PoemHunter my "best friend", female, is Valsa George (India) , with Lora Colon (US)a close second, AND a number of "younger" female poets, scattered around the globe, with more than one in Philippines, are vying for the #1 position.

My PoemHunter "best friend", male, is Fog Runner (US) , based on our compatibility and amount of messages exchanged, but Valentin Savin (Russia)is a close second, and various others are trying to claw their way to the top!

You have friends? ? Just kidding. It may be that virtual friendships are the best part of this site.

I do not believe in phrase'Best friend' in the sense that we may be having many true well wishers at a time whom we can trust, share secrets and seek help at the time of need.They may be your family members or friends or relatives. No doubt, Bri must be having many ''Best Friends'

At least for a few minutes the one who gives you friendly attention may be your best friend. You are clever enough to answer the question asked by Chandan. The moment which is owned by heart by another person and gifted by tender touch to another is lovely moment of friendship and the person who creates closeness creating such friendship is the best friend. An amazing poem is shared is fantastic...10

I am truly shocked to read this, Bri. All this time I thought that YOURS TRULY was your best friend! By the way, I think you will like my latest poem, just posted last night, called Man of Mystery, Willie Nelson?

Bri, Dear me…, o my God! I have only just now found that “Valentin Savin (Russia) is a close second, and various others are trying to claw their way to the top! ” Judging by the amount of our messages exchanged lately and our compatibility I hope to be your ‘best friend’ as well. Even just for a second. Val July,5th 2018 18: 45 Moscow time

Love it. To be able to reach out and make one feel the best for that moment is a quality so special our friend Bri possesses in abundance.

But somehow, I feel that all your writings and actions are targeted on making others happy and you don't mean any harm to anyone! One with no secrets to hide and who wears his heart on the sleeve! Let us continue to be friends! I am sure you have many Best Friends.... However I am happy, among the many, I too am one.

Oh.......... Bri, You are so kind! I was moved by the notes and got thrilled by seeing my name mentioned as your best friend! Yes, we have been very nice from the beginning! I love sense of humor and admire that quality in others which I lack. Enjoyed much of your writings except those that are explicitly bawdy and lewd.
