Written by Bespoke Verse poet Joanna Miller, this poem began as a gift for her sister. It led to Bespoke Verse's range of 'What is a...?' poems that have featured in magazines such as VOGUE and Easy Living.
Whether she's a listening ear, a tireless shopper or a birthday surpriser, everyone will recognise the bond described in 'What is a Friend?'
The poem is printed on the highest quality card which measures H30 x W21cm (A4). It is unframed and presented smartly in cellophane with backing board behind. The background colour is taupe.
The text reads:
What is a Friend?
A winer, a diner, an outfit designer
A ringer, a bringer, a karaoke singer
A meeter, a greeter, a chocolate eater
A debater, relater, a smile reinstater.
A lift provider, an on-your-sider
A diva, a bopper, a tireless shopper
A lender, a sender, a book recommender
A snorter, a sniggerer, infectious giggler.
A baker, a caker, a mate mickey-taker
An ally, a sister, a gentle arm twister
A lip-gloss provider, a secret confider
A thinker, a winker, a latte drinker.
A texter, a writer, a party inviter
A colleague, a carer, a problem-sharer
A cocktail blender & cheeky rule bender
A gossipy chatterer, forgiver & flatterer.
A handbag borrower, a ring-tomorrower
A holiday planner, a poolside tanner (line 18)
A ‘stop for a cuppa’, a date fixer-upper
A free babysitter & fellow keep-fitter. (line 20)
A listening ear, a loyal volunteer
A welcome inquisitor, spare bed visitor
A misser, a kisser, a cinema hisser
A fellow fat-fighter, a stay late at nighter
A birthday surpriser & cherished adviser
A laugher, a kidder, anxiety ridder...
That’s what makes a friend!

A Letter to Mum
To my wonderful Mum
I have to say sorry
For the teenage tantrums
And all of the worry
For all the times
I answered you back
Sulked and protested
And veered off the track.
Thanks for forgiving,
(Just one of your gifts)
For the listening ear
The advice and the lifts
Your unquestioning love
Your caring devotion
The hugs and support
At times of commotion.
You told me the truth
Yet let me be me
And helped me to find
Who I wanted to be.
You shaped me and gave me
All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.
