I was wondering if you knew any tender poems about friendship? if not, that's totally cool!! :)

“[First full moon of a new and final decade]” by June Jordan

“Poem Read At Joan Mitchell’s” by Frank O’Hara

“Ode to Elliott Smith, Ending in the First Snowfall of 2003” by Hanif Abdurraqib (he once said that Frank O’Hara’s friendship poems/the way he casually mentioned his friends by name in his poems was something that meant a lot to him and I love how you can see in this poem that he did the same)

“The Orange” by Wendy Cope

“Scrambled Eggs and Whiskey” by Hayden Carruths

“acknowledgements” by Danez Smith

(if you’ve noticed that in all these poems there’s a deliberate use of their friends’ names and specific references it’s because it’s something I find very heartwarming. they’re not writing poems about something meant to be relatable they’re just writing because they love their friends and that makes me ! inside)

“To All My Friends” by May Yang

“For Tom Shaw S.S.J.E. (1945–2014)” by Mary Oliver
