Strangers Yet Friends

I do have a few I soeak with only online.

I often wonder if they are anything like the image I have created.

Nice write.

Came back to read your poem another time! I have great admiration for my online friends. Sometimes their gentle words, their reassuring remarks, their positive feedback is enough to lift me up. Real friends are of course very important, and thankfully I am blessed with many, but I love to hear from my online friends.

I consider myself blessed to have online friends like you.

Thanks for capturing this so beautifully and the title is great.

Vellur....This is wonderful! The longer I communicate and share with all my virtual friends, the closer we become. There are moments that the barriers become blurred and it feels we're in the live company of one another.

It must be possible to build a bond and create a relationship of inspiration, because I love my online family as much as those who are visible in my life.

Beautiful work. Peace, Paula

True but I am glad to have met you online.

You have a lovely vibe and ofcourse I enjoy reading your posts. :-)

Lovely to read. The world has changed. I have to admit, I have met some very nice people online.....and you are one of them. :-)

How lucky we are to meet people from all over the world and become their friends! You have said it so well. I especially liked "On the internet coffee table".

Well done my friend.

You are welcome.

Bravo. I like the idea of the "internet coffee table." Thank you for sharing.

You have captured the essence of internet relationships. Well done. I hope you are well. Jamie

Very true and time relevant poem here. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks for this share. Shared and voted up.

My apologies! In Love and Light.

However sad as both you and Billy state, it can still be a beautiful relationship, and you have captured it excellently. Would be proud to have a relationship like this. Indeed, a touch of the romantic, there, perhaps?

I do have a poem for you, by the way: https://hubpages.com/literature/The-Joy-of-Inner-E...

Vellur,

I love this poem. Like so many of the others, I feel truly blessed for my online friends. I am thankful for HP and the support I have received here. Naturally, if the online situation is one where there is a potential romantic involvement, the rules seem to change which is another reason why HP is so awesome for the kinship formed is more like that of a writers' group. V+ for sure!

Thank You,

Kim

I've been so blessed with the online friends that I have made. I've met a few friends in person and I intend to meet many more. Awesome poem! :)

I have enjoyed getting to know my friends online almost more then I do the ones I have in touching distance. this was a great poem showcasing what is to be in this modern age of instant communications, good or bad we all do it and I for one and happier for it :)

So True. Lovely poem. :-)

It is something how we can cyber-talk to each other although spread out far and wide as we all are.

Even with all this, it's true that people are lonely still...and no wonder...we all need one on one to thrive. It makes us value the real touch of true friendships, doesn't it!

Enjoyed the sentiment greatly.

This is so true Vellur, I do think we get a picture of what people look like, and yes I love meeting people on here, we are all friends now, aren't we?

This is very witty but true. Most of my friends are online now days apart from family. Very nice poem. Thanks.

Vellur, you have truly assumed us as friends on net ; yet I believe that we are more than that. When we interact with each other by way of our unique words, we create webs of reciprocity and are blessed with great affection, pleasure, knowledge and insight. You have penned a beautiful and passionate poem !

Hi Vellur,

A great poem and I will have to say---my Virtual friendships are all I have time for these days. And, I know it is sad, but when you are a caregiver one's time is not their own.

Keep writing such great poems to make us stop and ponder---we do have blessings from the internet of making friends and communicating when one has time.

Strangers Yet Friends has so much truth and friends with someone you have not met in person is also possible.

It's nice that your thoughtful poem can be true!

A beautiful poem and I found building a virtual friendship can more positively sensational than the conventional way because of our curiosity following the process. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.

Yep I consider you one of my friends here on the interwebs!

Love this. Got some of the very best online friends. Passing this on.

Amazing poem and I so enjoyed reading this. I agree with you. This is so true - we met almost daily and read each others works and there forms a definite bond over the cables. We don't see one another face to face yet some of my cyber friends are such good friends. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Well written as all your work Wayne.

Me and my wife discussed this yesterday. Social networking has become such a phenom. I do believe it is true that in today's world you can become friends with someone without ever meeting them face to face.

I like the internet coffee table! Cute poem & voted interesting ;)

So true dear Vellur! I have many friendships online and truly consider them to be my friends, but I have never met them.

Awesome poem!

Up and more and sharing.

Blessings, Faith Reaper

A very interesting poem and it's so true!

How very true this is. Funny how we form a picture in our mind's of someone we communicate with, sometimes not really knowing if it is a male or female. We do build bonds, and sometimes great friendships. Thank's for sharing...
