We just wanted to say THANK YOU Soupers. You have made December (and it's not over)
the BEST month in PoetrySoup's 10 year history. We've had more comments, poems posted, and new members this month than any month in history. We cannot believe the incredible poetry that is being posted. Unfortunately we cannot read all of them, but the ones we read are fantastic. We look forward to 2014. That should be a very exciting year for the Soup. Thanks Soupers and keep the great comments and poems coming...
Don't forget to welcome all of the new Soupers!

I must be honest with myself to say that Ive been tremendously enriched by critique and friendly suggestions of other poets from this site. And as if that was not enough, the fact that one's poem occasionally get published is another challenge on its own. In all, this site has been a blessing and a source of encouragement to many people to keep on dotting until the ink finishes. Kudos for providing this wonderful platform.

2012 was the year I discovered PoetrySoup and your site has helped me grow as a poet more in the last year than in many of the years before

PoetrySoup has given me the opportunity to express my feelings. The website is so valuable for beginning poets as well as veterans. It is a place where we can visit daily to unburden the daily challenges of living. It is a haven where the freedom of expression is encouraged. The positive comments are great and infectious enough to enhance creative thoughts.
