I have a riddle to guess if you can:

What begins small then eventually grows tall?
It is not a flower, but it will never be dour!

It lasts forever, it knows not the time.
Do I detect nonsense in my little rhyme?

It may not come cheaply, but is well worth the price.
For it can last forever, especially if you are nice.

Can you make sense of my riddle?
I'll help you decipher a little.

It requires care, none others can compare.
It can bring joy and laughter,
Especially from now till forever after.

It requests respect and trust,
It could otherwise bust.

I hope it won't ever be tried, but it will always be true.
It is never old, it always stays new!

Does my riddle now make sense?
I hope it won't be nonsense.

Time's up! What is your answer in this riddle game?
I trust that you know, for my answer is the same:

The answer is friendship, forever true.
True friendship, for me and for you!

For every up, for every down.
For every smile, for every frown.
Our friendship stayed, unable to be swayed!


Hey Diddle Diddle,
I hope you liked my Riddle.

All that is left for me to say,
is thank you so much, for a  friendship that is here to stay




A poem I wrote as a gift for a wonderful friend, whom I met a year ago today. Never did I expect at the time for such a simple game of riddles to become such a great friendship :')   I admit that it could use some improvement, but it was the best I could do with the writer's blocks I've been having. ^^;  Still, I hope you will all like it, and may all your friendships stay strong. :)

This is my critique for you,
And hopefully you read it well.
I can see you have pulled through,
And took my advises very well.

Didn't expect this kind, did you?
Hahaha, I think I might sense it.
But what you've done is more than great,
And your time on this is all worth it.

Your rhymes well done,
Theme has good emphasis.
But other than that was said,
Your poem is well-written as it is.

Nurture the gift of poetry more
Which I believe you can do so.
Nurture it, and you might surpass anyone, even me,
Just know what you write, but control your feelings as they flow.

Though this may be one of your best,
The challenges as a poet will not end.
Other than the possible flaws you may have,
A job well done, my friend.
