Dear Friends

Just a note to let you know I am taking a break from the soup. I didn't want anyone to worry. I do plan on coming back, I just need to concentrate on other aspects of my life for a while. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me and helped me grow over the past few years. Sometimes I may have seemed unreceptive but I have learned so much since joining the soup. This is an amazing community and I hold you all dear to my heart. Your friend and fellow poet, Richard.

Thanks to all. As you can see I can't seem to stay away. Frank's latest contest drew me back.

We'll miss you Richard, but you'll be back so we can look forward to when you do, I can understand I am going to be taking a break myself, I am going to work on my book but I will be on off and on during that time it will take at least two months I think, cheri

Although I haven't dropped by here for quite an interlude of time, I may say, I'll miss you my dear friend Richard just like the way I am missing everybody here 'cuz I, myself, is not coming regularly here due to a tight schedule at school. I hope you will come back as soon as you can. Wish you luck my dear friend. Now, I'm goin to read some of your gems I've missed. love lots and big hugs, Leonora
