I just read a review of my work from Robert, then went to his page to read something of his. What a coincidence that you mention him now.

A couple of lines that I really like:

No unmet needs (that's a strong friendship when you love them for the sake of love alone)

Strength in numbers; with us, that's two. Again, if you find the right friend, you can enjoy them without the need for anything or anyone else.

I'm not sure what a cube poem is; perhaps you could mention that in your author's notes:-)

This was a good one, Allen. Loved the rhymes and the story you tell of a special relationship with another human.

xoxo

    It's four stanzas of four lines that contain four syllables. But you're right; it needs to be explained in tge Author's Notes. Thanks for this really nice review. Xo

What a sweet welcome back to Robert Zimmerman. I knew that he was gone for a while and here you show us that he's back. That's what friends do and it's a special honor that you used his form!

I love this form and your uplifting well metered words are a joy to read Rachelle. We are mightier as a couple and being alone means you have to maintain that inner courage. A joy to read, love Dolly x x x

Your context is meaningful and fulfilling to the reader. Your rhymes are exact. I am honored you took this challenge and wrote a beautiful poem with depth, and meaning, the reader can identify with.
YOU DUN GREAT!!!!!

    We got caught in the hurricane. No power, no Internet, no cell, no nothing. Do not expect to be restored for days. Western NC got hammered.
    Your cube poem is excellent.

I'm glad to see Robert back, too, and I experimented a few times with his
Robert's CUBE. You did such a great theme with yours and you had such lovely thoughts on friendship. You certainly expressed the eloquently. Excellent work with rhyme, too. judi
