This is a great free form poem. Seventy years is a long time for a friendship. I'm sure you have both weathered life challenges separately and together. Hopefully y'all have another thirty in you.

Great job

Cecilia

This us a good free verse poem. Your descriptions and imagery make it enjoyable to read.

One note:

It would benefit you to check verb tenses and keep them consistent. For instance, most are past tense but one or two are not. Best wishes, Alex

I really enjoyed how your poem takes me through the journey of John and Art's friendship. The way you captured their growth was so heartwarming. Reading it made me feel like I was walking alongside them. Your poem is a beautiful tribute to lasting friendship. It shows how deep bonds grow with time. It's full of warmth and the kind of love that only years of shared memories can create. Keep up the amazing work!

From beginning to middle to end, I loved this read. I am so envious of this friendship. It is unusual for a friendship to last this long and withstand the test of time.
'Decades poured like fine wines from barrels' and 'through life's storms they huddled close' - just wonderful. I loved it all but especially the idea of you supporting each other through life's storms. That is the definition of true friendship. Being there come rain or shine.
Thank you for sharing. Glad I stopped by to read this. I feel like this is a true story and if it isn't, you did an amazing job at making it seem real.
Best wishes,
Amelie
