There is no such things like friendship poems. Everything should be considered as poems and here you needs to find out some basics to start with your writing.

Have a look at following instructions:

1. Pay attention to the world around you—little things, big things, people, animals, buildings, events, etc. What do you see, hear, taste, smell, feel?

2. Listen to words and sentences. What kind of music do they have? How is the music of poetry different from the music of songs?

3. Read all kinds of poetry. Which poems do you like and why?

4. Read what you write out loud. How does it sound? How could it sound better?

5. Ask yourself: does this poem have to rhyme? Would it be good or better if it didn’t? If it should rhyme, what kind of rhyme would be best? (For example, 1st and 2nd lines rhyme; 3rd and 4th lines rhyme—“Roses are red/So is your head/Violets are blue/So is your shoe"; or 1st and 3rd lines rhyme; 2nd and 4th lines rhyme—“What is your name?/Who is your mother?/This poem is quite lame/I should try another.”

6. Ask yourself: does this poem sound phony? Don’t stick in big words or extra words just because you think a poem ought to have them.

7. A title is part of a poem. It can tell you what the poem is about. It can even be another line of the poem.

8. Before you write, think about what you want your whole poem to say.

9. If you end up saying something else, that’s okay, too. Poet X.J. Kennedy says, “You intend to write a poem about dogs, say, and poodle is the first word you’re going to find a rhyme for. You might want to talk about police dogs, Saint Bernards, and terriers, but your need for a rhyme will lead you to noodle and strudel. The darned poem will make you forget about dogs and write about food instead.”

10. Go wild. Be funny. Be serious. Be whatever you want! Use your imagination, your own way of seeing.

Hope this will help you to understand how can one prepare to write a good poem.

Anyway wish you all the best :)

Yes there are poems of friendship, travel, nature, love and just about any other subject you can think of.

If you're stuck a good way to write a poem on a particular subject is to write prose and notes.

Start by just writing down the things you consider important in friendship, like spending time together, not judging someone, ignoring mistakes and on and on. Make notes by using the Dictionary and Thesaurus. Google friendship poems/poetry and see what you get and get get some ideas from them. Get all this together, let it sit for a day or two, then come back to it and do your best into making a poem out of it all. It can be short or long.

Here's an example of a poem I wrote about me and my friends.

Holes in my shoes cause I put them there

Blood on my clothes cause I put it there

The street's still hot from the sun

We're losing daylight but it's okay, we'll be out 'til one

This sweater burns and so does this beanie

We're civilized but we sit on the side of the street

Me with my Vans and you with your Etnies

Ruben with his Tippman and Mike with Petey

Not long ago but far enough to forget

And where I'm at now, can't say I regret

All I did was talk about things that were routine for us. We used to skateboard all the time and often it would rip holes in our shoes and bloody up our clothes. All you have to do is right about the little things that make you guys friends.....inside jokes, things you guys do, etc. Whatever it is, I'm sure they'll love it.
