Soups On

Writing is my challenge each day But it's not the words or what to say. It is the connection with other writers here Because I feel I'm not worthy or equal I fear. The talent expressed by so many others Often makes me want to hide under the covers. The gems that are written and ones that I read Are so inspired, personal, and give me a need. That's why I come here every time To see what others have put in their rhyme. Carolyn always has a message for me to ponder And others write things that make me wonder. I often race to the "New Poems" just to see If by some chance there's one by which P.D has destroyed me. And Carol, Bob, Nick, Emily, Wilma, and "the Sweetheart" Write things that sometimes I just can't pull apart. The Doc has written so many things I am amazed sometimes at the thoughts he brings. Others are here who write so well Their words do me so oft compel. For like unto them I want to be Writing words that have meaning for others to see. Will they be worthy I say when I'm done Or will they be read by others, as I've intentioned. You know I feel so many emotions just now Because of all these writers, I just don't know how. For they are a driving force for me And part of my challenge each day is to make them see. That because of them I have to write Sometimes into the wee hours of the night. To pick a favorite writer is...well a difficult choice So I pick them all, because they shout with one voice. "Write, you fool, then write some more" Words I hear and cannot ignore. So I choose them all...all here in this group The ones who have made me hungry for Soup. There, I've said it...and you know that's not in haste The Soupers that are here are the best of all to taste.
