Awww wow what an amazing poem! I really enjoyed it! I love the theme in this poem.. because friendship is so important, especially here on P&Q... and of course I love the reference to P&Q! <3 I love how you described true friends.. I completely agree... and you don't necessarily have to see someone everyday to know he/she is a true friend.

Love it! Great job :)

^Ain't that the truth, what a powerful metaphor!

I really enjoyed this poem, could you explain the structure of a string tanka, though?
