ode to friends

you'd be surprised at how people grow on you.
not that it's bad... just a bit new.

no conscious intentions to rhyme here...
but when words ring true, all's just clear.

like the imposing crystals on our trophies...
and the welcome influx of chat room newbies.

sure you don't see 'em often...
but that doesn't matter right?
even if all you get to share with them is one giant Bluefrog and a night.

friends like these are like gemstone necklaces born of modern art...
and what does one do with these gemstone necklaces?
he keeps them close... to his heart.
