Communication requires 3 things. The sender, the message, and the receiver. If the sender overestimates the ability of the receiver to comprehend the message there is a problem. The thing that troubles me is that your work might be a masterpiece, but beyond my cognitive ability to comprehend. I apologize for my lack of comprehension.

Your examination of the subject of friendship is probably a good one but I would have been happier if you could have simplified it.

I like where it's going, I'm not sure it gets there. Mixed metaphors (clothing embers), noun/verb usage (assured of reap), and missing subjects to sentences turn many ideas into underdeveloped themes.

It's not quite poetry, where many of these might be forgiven, and thus as prose it must answer to a bit more structure (and attention to punctuation).
As pure exclamative expression it has merit, but this diamond in the rough needs a bit more shaping. Thanks for sharing.

This was interesting. It was poetic ... but not really. I liked the rythm. The message was ok ... I would have liked to see a little more development on that front.
