A.GMy+Opinion+Of+The+Poem

In this poem //Unseen Friend// by Iceman the author is informing the readers that people do not need to be friends unless seeing one another in person. In many instances it is unusual that people are friends without seeing one another but in this poem these two people exchange letters and share the same ideals and special dreams. By sharing the same ideals and special dreams these two people can relate to each other because of the traits they share. In this case the two people picture each other to get a better understanding if they could be friends. The author is trying to convey the point that you do not need to meet one another to be friends and that there are many ways to become friends. People should not judge other people by their appearance, and that the most important thing is the person inside. In this poem the two people share the same characteristics and as a result they can be friends.

Keep reading the last stanza -- poet is also saying that maybe the friendship is so successful BECAUSE it's only through letters. Maybe if they met and had a more traditional friendship, something would interfere and they wouldn't like each other as much. Does the poet think this is significant? What is different about a pen pal than a friend from school or home? How do you really learn about each other?
