I loved the subject matter and your blunt, yet flowing, message (honest to God truth - no lie!). In fact I wrote something along these same lines awhile back called Dripping Honesty. You might like it. A sugarcoated lie is no treat at all... I'd take truth any day of the week.

I see we are very much on the same wavelength, Timothy! I just read your poem "Dripping Honesty" and I can assure you that I can relate to most of what you wrote. Thanks for a welcome visit. // paul

I am a very honest person when I leave a comment, because I always write what I feel in my heart. I may not always understand what the poem is about, but I just try to give my real opinion on the poem itself.... I thought this was a unique lyric that expresses your devotion to The Soup. Very nicely said, Paul! Congratulations on your win!

Hi Kelly! I agree with you. when I read poetry I do my best to understand what it's about, although it is not always easy. But I always comment honestly and try to be as positive as possible. I am sure we all love having our poems read and appreciated. Thank you for your encouragement and support. // paul

I can only suggest if you could approach Dave for that as it was one of his initial aims of the contest. Mohan

Paul Callus

I think that most of us on soup relate to the thoughts expressed in these lyrics. We like our poems to be read and commented on, but feedback has to be honest to serve its purpose. Thank you Upma for the wishes and continuous support. // paul

Hello Paul, once again thank you so much for the reply... sorry I'm so so so late, on reading my old replies... :)

Hi Linda! I wonder how you manage to keep up with everything! I get a few dozen emails a day, and that takes up time, let alone you with all yours plus the contests. I suppose it all has to do with youthful energy!:) /x/ paul

Andrea Dietrich

Date: 7/13/2014 11:53:00 AM

oh, I am so sorry . I did not realize it was Italian sonnet. Thanks for taking the time to track it down. I'm hurrying off now to get ready for my church library duty. Just can't finish my contest now. It will have to wait for another day. I did a blog letting folks know to please edit for spelling, etc. Hope that does not apply to you. I'm seeing so many "nice" poems, but don't know where to draw the line on which poems to cut from the lineup, etc. The whole process is so frustrating!

Paul Callus
Date: 7/14/2014 10:50:00 AM

You are a busy bee Andrea, but you do manage to cope with things. I wish I could do that; hardly wrote any poetry this week due to my many other commitments. cu

I enjoyed reading this one, it's the truth no lies lol. Love how you put the whole soup idea into a nut shell, and expressed the reason for which I joined. I joined to have a place to go to talk to other poets and express myself. To get positive or negative fed back on what I've written. I don't go onto the chat because I've heard so much negative things about it so I just use comments to talk. I don't want to get into studied fights, I just want to write and express. so thank you cheri

Paul Callus
Date: 7/8/2014 2:58:00 PM

So glad you enjoyed; also welcome the positive remarks you passed. I too look forward to reading the works of others and have mine read and commented on, in all sincerity. I have no intention of getting involved in any negative going-ons, but do send some soup mails sometimes. Thank you. Take care. // paul

Thank you, Paul it means a lot to me, coming from you... When you first join the soup, I was afraid, you'd stay away from my poetic pen, as many will, due to the name, and frame I'm in...:( Anwyas, thank you for the kindness.... If it was not for poets like you, I would have left this place 2 years ago... LOL, but the new poets are who keep me here, and the one's whit open hearts like you... Linda

Paul Callus
Date: 6/23/2014 4:13:00 PM

Hi Olive_eloi! Every time I write lyrics I form my own tune in mind, but I'm no good at writing music, so I depend on composers to see a finished product. Once set to music, you can sing it, why not:)) // paul
