Poem Title:
Poem
I have met some wonderful people on SoupVille Lane. Without this extraordinary and fantastic poetry community, our paths may have never crossed. I just want to let you all know (you know who you are). Who has supported me continuously on my poetic journey. That I don't take your support and friendship lightly. Especially during these difficult times. Being away from family can be so sad and depressing. I log into the soup and find laughter, inspiration, encouragement, and kindness. Just having you in my corner has meant the world to me. Some may say friendships such is this isn't real, I beg to differ. What is friendship? Opening yourself up to another, being your true authentic self, I have done that with some of you and I consider you a friend. One thing about friendship is, you have to be a friend to gain a friend. Some friends go deep, and some don't, but my (soup) friends, we have poetry in common, and I feel we are friends because of our shared love of poetry. With that being said, is this place perfect? No Because we have feelings and feelings get in the way. But we should strive to be respectful no matter what. If I come off as preachy, I apologize; the things that I express, I say to myself first and foremost. Just sharing my insight and personal reflections. I know 2020 has been bad for us all. I hope and pray, 2021 is much better. Happy New Year, my soup friends:-) Alexis 12-26-2020
