Can you write a poem about a yap friend you admire ? and perhaps we can try to figure it out?

Oh and once someone has written about someone - you cannot reciprocate - it has to be someone else. K?

I love that she is from Texas and drinks tea
instead of coffee.
Her colloquial speech is all her own
I never have problems understanding
her good intent
Faced with adversity she holds a brave face,
and inspires such admiration in me
that I want to be better - just because
she is indeed a true and stalwart friend.
Starch she has, strength and subtlety.
Her mind is a needle cloaked in soft
soothing words.
You are safe with her, never afraid.
she will hold you in her hand
with the same care she bestows on the birds.

Sandy Giggles - have missed you! I never knew he was from Minnesota. I always thought Wisconsin. But hey - Maybe Cheesy is from Wisconsin, :))

Taghi - I hope you are well in that country you come from. You know we always worry for you. Be safe.

I know of a lady who hails from a land
of snowstorms and maple delights.
She’s friends with a Bear who will sit on command
and poop in a place out of sight.

This girl that I know, she’s a hoot-and-a-half
with a streak that’s decidedly sweet.
She’ll say you were ‘tossed’ (like a midget giraffe)
at the same time she’s tickling your feet.

A voice like an angel--just up from a dream
A smile that’s been known to melt steel.
Her heart is a cone of the softest ice-cream
Her eyes came from a baby seal.

She likes to say ‘Eh?’ and occasion’ly ‘Phfffft!’
An ‘ah’ thrown in for good measure.
I’m hoping the two of us make a good fit
Her friendship is something I treasure.

Write a poem about a friend ...
Now that would just depend ...
on how friendliness can end ...
and drive me round the bend!
Admire, did you just simply say?
A friend you think is so okay ...
and we will try to work it out ...
and we will all yell and shout ...
We don't know who you are talking about?
and you don't know me without one doubt!
Yet you might like to know me if my words fit your bill ...
and my heart can alight on your friendly windows sill ...
I am such a good poet and I already know it ...
but far too humble to explode as we show it ...
This little old lady just fell onto this page ...
and never will tell you of her rightful age ...
Funny and witty and how do you all do?
I never met you but I surely do want to!
You will all love me and think I'm a freak ...
because I am shy but I'm also so unique!
Not so unfamiliar and promising to be good ...
May I sit in this corner and knock on wood?

Cheesey's is about Lizzie.

He lured me here with luscious tales
Of dairy delights and Greek entrails.
The flame wars he lead me over to
Made R&S look like a petting zoo.

His compadre's astonishing talent did stun
Me when I saw an actual poet among
The tattered band of budding bards.
His pre-eminence leaves full many egos in shards.

There's a Canadian chick who also loved a BadBeast
We go back so far she was at my e-wedding feast
I found her again, still rhyming away
It's quite comfy here, so I've decided to stay.

(There's 3 of them in mine)

Hey there. I cannot write a poem right now for such a title since I'm having tough time resurfacing my inspirations but I enjoyed reading the poems a lot. You have started a great topic. I love it when friends admire each other and I admire all of my friends including you Beth. :)

This is difficult, but not impossible! Let me try to put a "Ski-spin" on it.

One whose opinions I don't always enjoy hearing;
yet I know they are honest, pure and...well, help me to learn.
The location of this poet to me is unknown
so my feeble attempts at description are all you have.

Only having seen the picture, it's hard for me to imagine
the personality which within resides.
Strength, worry and love
has made small lines early;
but those we will all get some day.

A fount of knowledge I have found,
with each critique of my stumbling works.
I look forward to seeing every one
that this ONE-derful person has told me
what is wrong and right.

Never mean, even though somewhat insulated
still is wonderfully nice and says things peacefully.
Strong and great to listen to;
her friendship is something I'd fancy.
