Have read both poems of the two lovely poets, Arthur. THANK YOU for supporting Poetry Soup's talents. I believe that despite the many things that happened, this is one of the site's objective, that we support and encourage each other in ways that will have a positive impact to the community as a whole, while we ourselves grow in our poetry. We must never forget the wonderful things you do for the community. hugs!

Congrats to Jan and Casarah too. Arthur, it is nice of you to share your site with other poets. I looked around your site and found what I was looking for here. More freedom on your site writing about hens than you would have here. I also liked how you kept the record of his blog. There may be no hope for the hen or his little chic, but I do pray for them.
