Fellow Soupers

Let me begin by saying Thank-you For making me feel welcome where I am new Although I've been writing for twenty-two years I have much to learn from incredible peers Individuals with style and grace Where originality wins first place Humbled am I to be among such talents Each comment brings a sense of balance Wishing to meet, to come face to face Relishing in the idea if only a taste After years of thinking no one was there To come to find so many more care All share a bond through writing and words Each unique like a flock of exotic birds Honored to be among others with a passion like my own Knowledge surrounds me, unlike any I've ever known
