Wassup Poetry Soup

I thought I’d write a limerick (As sonnets now just make me sick) But can’t for all the friggin’ rules That always trip up southern fools; So, thus, a couplet has to do For me to say what’s next to you: Howdy, Soupers, guess who’s back – It’s Phil, the convict “poet” hack! Free at last aft’ 90 days Spent missing all through orange malaise; I'm finally here (and glad to be) Where brilliant friends live poetry. Hello. :)

This poem had me laughing soo hard, Phillip. I agree w/Daniel ... been there, done that. I hated having to watch out for the morning drunks. But I am in perfect agreement w/your sentiment ... never again. Such a cool poem, my friend.

John, you know dang well I'd rather do life in prison than venture into the world of free verse! Thanks, my friend. It's amazing to be back

The Soup always gives me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for all your kind words during my sabbatical. They were very much appreciated

I can definitely do without the pumpkin in my life for awhile. My mom did send me a few of your masterpieces and They certainly went a long way towards lifting my spirits in a down time. Thanks Jan!
