Choose To

Tears can scream louder than words, if we choose to listen. Birds can sing stronger than opera, if we choose to hear. Rain can purify more than soap, if we choose to clean. Dance can free more than flight, if we choose to act. Laughter can cure more than medicine, if we choose to enjoy. Joy can shine brighter than the sun, if we choose to smile. The choice is yours...

Elissa, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
