Acidental Friends by Nicholina W.



I would like to start by saying
Not all friends come from good
Some come when your faults are exposed

Forgetting homework is an unlikely place,
To find space,
In your heart.
To create an everlasting friendship.

But in my life
I proved this to be wrong,
And
Created a friendship that
Will forever live on.

When I read this poem I envision the exact day we met in 1st grade. You forgot your alphabet book letters and I gave you my extras. From your "forgetfulness" we became best friends. I like how the rhyme scheme changes in each stanza. It emphasizes the most important phrases and words. After reading this poem I feel that dealing with you after all of these years has paid off. This poem almost beats those birthday cards I sent you. Is this mine for next year?
An excellent poem bbf:)

I like this poem because it's really cute! I can picture little Nicholina and little Kristin in first grade. you had some nice rhyming going on. I liked the way you did the lines in the second stanza with the two 3-syllable lines in the middle. This poem made me smile, and left me happy. There are many poems about friendship, but yours is personal and different than the others.

Aw, very cute Nikki.

I can completely picture you and Kristin meeting and become instant best friends. I'm just surprised that it was you who forgot your homework and not kristin. =P I agree with Kristin. I like that your rhyme scheme isn't always the same, because it makes it very interesting and does emphasize specific parts. This poem makes me really happy because it's so cute and light hearted. The subject of this poem is often written about, but your poem is very unique.

This poem is wicked cute, and I pitured in my head a little Nicholina and Kristen. It made me remember those stupid alphabet books, too, and how much I did not like them. I think the unusual rhyme scheme makes the poem unpredictable, and works in its favor. After reading this poem, I thought about how I met Rachel in first grade too. This poem doesn't remind me of anything else I've read because it really doesnt fit the cliche friendship poem at all. I like it because its so different, and because you based it off an experiance made it more personal.

good job :]

When I read your poem I pictured little first-grade Nikki and Kristins and made me smile. I really liked the way you rhymed things. It made me very happy reading it. I’ve read other poems about friends, but none exactly like yours. I like that your poem is based on a personal experience.
