Ladies of Poetry Soup

I read their words and stand in awe Poetic words that have no flaw For an old sailor who has seen his day These ladies still take my breath away They write with passion and hearts of gold And as they write, new worlds unfold Their legacy will be carved in stone Each has a style all their own I read each word and dwell on each line On a dreary day, they make the sun shine I sit at my computer as another day closes I feel like a thorn in a bouquet of roses.

Superb closing line! What a wonderful tribute to our talented ladies... again, your cadence and rhyming are exquisite and your content sublime! BRAVO my friend! Best wishes, Keith (PS when you have time please take a look at 'Portrait;' you need comment only on one part. Also, 'Nightscapes' and 'Forecasts.' They are all tributes to T.S. Eliot.) Thanks! K.
