Me and the Pea

How are you today? My friends on Poetry Soup. I trust you are feeling well, And put your worries at bay. I think Poetry Soup is a very apt name A macedoine of people, Not one of them is the same A mixture of people All in an enormous pot Not vegetating As we all write poetry a lot. If we had to have a veggie name I would choose to be a pea There are many peas in this pot Similar to me. The pot is full of flavours, Some are bitter, some are sweet, Making taste buds burst to savour A deep-rooted treat. Belonging to PS It has broadened my mind, I question things now More than I ever did before. It has brought kindness, And encouragement, From Penpals to my door. A beautiful mixture of All different kinds. Who at times beg to differ, Or find a marriage of minds. If you read this rhyme, I hope you will see The sincere thanks, Appreciation and love Sent to you from me.
