Never would I have thought I would start writing at 73 years of age. I have thoroughly enjoyed my voyage into the written spirituality of poetry and am thankful for the opportunity.  In my seven years here I have met many new and wonderful persons. Having them accept me as a friend has been a moving experience.
                   

     

New Soup Rule

Blog Posted:1/20/2013 7:34:00 PM
Please be advised that poetry
soup has changed their posted
rules on the home page. 

The new number one rule as of to date:

PoetrySoup Rule #1:
Be kind and keep
PoetrySoup a haven.
PoetrySoup is a drama
free zone.

the other rules which we have
had all along are posted lower 
down on the page.

Where egos are involved, this will be a difficult rule to enforce.....and yes....as Ruben said, if nothing else, we have had reason to laugh out loud, shake our heads, .... and sometimes want to throw in the towel. But I haven't given up because of many friends who wear their grown-up colors.

Carolyn caught my mistake. I had not scrolled down far enough to uncover the bottom of the page, where the rest of them are posted as they have been all along. Shame on me.
