We present you some friendship poems of four stanzas by great authors such as Rodolfo Tallón, Pablo Neruda or Antoine de Saint-Exupery. A poem is a composition that uses the literary resources of poetry.
The poem can be written in different ways, but it is generally in verse. This means that it is made up of phrases or sentences written on separate lines and grouped into sections called stanzas.
Each of these lines usually rhyme with each other, that is, a similar vowel sound, especially in the last word of the lines, although this is not a rule nor is it true in all poems. On the contrary, there are many poems without any rhyme.
Nor is there any rule that determines the length of poems. There are very long or single-line ones. However, a standard length is between three and six stanzas, long enough to convey an idea or feeling through poetry. The most common length in poems is four stanzas.
Similarly, there are no rules on the subject matter addressed by poetry. Although it is usually related to love and romanticism, there are poems that talk about completely opposite themes such as hatred, death or abandonment.
However, it must be admitted that a lot of paper and ink has been spent on love and friendship throughout history and poetry has been a literary style that has given a very good service to these topics. You may also be interested in these quotes about friendship.
List of four-stanza poems about friendship
1- Friend
Friend, take what you want, your gaze penetrates the corners
and if you wish, I give you my whole soul
with its white avenues and its songs.
Friend -with the afternoon make it go away
this useless old desire to conquer -.
Drink from my pitcher if you are thirsty.
Friend -with the afternoon make it go away
this wish of mine that the whole rosebush
belongs to me -.
Friend if you are hungry eat my bread.
Everything, friend, I have done for you.
All this that without looking you will see in my naked room:
all this that rises up the right walls
- like my heart - always looking for height.
You smile at yourself friend… What does it matter!
No one knows how to deliver
what is hidden inside, but I give you my soul, amphora of soft honeys, and I give it all to you…
Except that one I remember…
… That in my inheritance that lost love empties, It is a white rose that opens in silence…
Author: Pablo Neruda
2- my friend
My friend, I have much need your friendship.
I thirst for a partner who respects me, above the disputes of reason, the pilgrim of that fire.
Sometimes I need to taste the promised warmth in advance
And rest, beyond myself, in that appointment that will be ours.
Hallo peace. Beyond my clumsy words
beyond the reasoning that can deceive me, you consider in me, simply the Man, You honor in me the ambassador of beliefs, of customs, of particular loves.
If I differ from you, far from diminishing you I make you great.
You question me as the traveler is questioned,
I, like everyone else, experience the need to be recognized, I feel pure in you and I go to you. I have the need to go there where I am pure.
They have never been my formulas or my adventures
the ones that informed you about what I am, but the acceptance of who I am has made you, necessarily indulgent towards these adventures and those formulas.
I am grateful to you because you receive me as I am.
What am I to do with a friend who judges me?
If I still fight, I will fight a little for you.
I need you. I have the need of helping you to live.
Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupery
3- Do like the sun
Don't hold on to the past
or sad memories.
Do not open the wound already healed.
Do not relive the old aches and pains.
What happened happened…
From now on,
put your strength into building a new life,
oriented upwards, and walk straight ahead,
without looking back.
Do like the sun that rises every day,
without thinking about the night that passed.
Come on, get up…
because the sunlight is out!

4- Some friendships are eternal
Sometimes you find
a special friendship in life:
that someone who, when entering your life,
changes it completely.
That someone who makes you laugh incessantly;
that someone who makes you believe that
there are really good things in the world.
That someone who convinces you
that there is a door ready
for you to open.
That is an eternal friendship…
When you are sad
and the world seems dark and empty,
that eternal friendship lifts your spirits
and makes that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full.
Your eternal friendship helps you
in difficult, sad,
and confusing moments.
If you walk away,
your eternal friendship follows you.
If you lose your way,
your eternal friendship guides you and makes you happy.
Your eternal friendship takes you by the hand
and tells you that everything will be fine.
If you find such a friendship
you feel happy and full of joy
because you have nothing to worry about.
You have a friendship for life,
since an eternal friendship has no end.

5- I will not die at all, my friend
I will not die at all, my friend,
as long as my memory lives in your soul.
A verse, a word, a smile,
will tell you clearly that I have not died.
I will return with the silent afternoons,
with the star that shines for you,
with the breeze that rises between the leaves,
with the fountain that dreams in the garden.
I will return with the piano that sobs
the nocturnal scales of Chopin;
with the slow agony of things
that don't know how to die.
With everything romantic, that immolates
this cruel world that destroys me.
I'll be by your side when you're alone,
like one more shadow next to your shadow.
Author: Rodolfo Tallón
