I am in a mighty institution called marriage.I am employed by my hubby and three kids in a workplace called the house,which I like to call home.So I like to call myself a domestic engineer.


I got back to writing poetry again after a hiatus of eighteen years,that's because I found this wonderful website called Poetry Soup.And all the wonderful poets from whom I learn and who continue to inspire me to write better.


I started writing poetry at a very young age.That's because I did not have the happiest of childhood.As a little child with no one to turn to,the only respite I got was by putting down my feelings on paper.I still think I wrote my best poetry during those early teen years.


My motto in life has always has been,Live and let live.I would like to see peace in this world before I die,its asking too much considering the current state of affairs,but its always good to hope,optimism,I think brightens life,its sunshine in the mind.


Adios dear friends.Take care and stay safe.

The Soup on Wiki
Blog Posted:8/31/2012 8:30:00 AM

 

Hello soupers,just a thought I had..I was browsing the web and then went to wikipedia to check out poetry websites and  interestingly I found one poetry site.well, then it struck me that maybe we should have PS on wikipedia.
I don't know the legal aspect of all these things but it would sure thrill me no end to find PS on wiki...
That would be so so cool.what do you think????
I want everyone's esteemed opinion on this...
have a gorgeous weekend,take care.
Au revoir!!!!

    Not familiar with Wikipedia or what benefits it would provide other than more exposure. Tell me more... Jack

    oh, I thought you meant our site as being referenced on Wiki. Oh, no, yasmin. we couldn't HAVE the actual site with poems ,etc on there. I heard things can be changed. But I never understood that.

    Wikipedia isn't a reliable site.. we are not allowed to use it in school either.. Not sure that would be a good idea.. have a nice day

    I don't know the legal aspects of all of this, but in just the surface this seems like a brilliant idea Yasmin. Wikipedia has there own little rules that one must go by in order to be on its server and site. I'm sure PS would like to be on Wikipedia, if not just for the publicity aspect of it but also for the wandering poet. This is a wonderful idea Yasmin, maybe PS is listening and would look into it.
