My Dear Poetry Soup Member

My Dear Poetry Soup Member, Pleased to know some of you enjoyed the piece I wrote "Just like November." I just want to forever light up a room like a burning ember. I'm striving to be a talent people can look back on and remember. By now most of you know I'm incarcerated. But when you prejudge me it makes me sad and frustrated. My back is against the wall and I have already been checkmated. So avoiding me totally makes me feel discriminated. Get to know me, I promise I'm not contaminated. I just long for love and to feel appreciated. Sincerely, Poetry Soups convict Jimmy Note: Written for Brian Strands contest "My Dear."

Wow! I'm glad I read this because I think I allowed myself to get confused by the rules of this contest. I think you can be blessed by this and really cry at the same time. I feel your heart in this. This is a real winner for Brian's contest. Reading this, I'm really glad that I finally responded to your soup mail. I think I was only thinking about myself.

I am sure we have all done things, that if we had gotten caught we would be right their with you. You mention the key word "Love" that is the one thing will make all the difference in the world. God bless, Sincerely, Moses

Hi, Jimmy. I still don't know how to send a Soup mail to a fellow poet. Maybe you'll teach me. I was born in Bucharest, Romania. I lived half of my life there and half in California. My last name is pronouned as you see it phonetically. Nice rhyme here, dear Jimmy. Love, Iolanda
