Poem
Well, it has been one year since I joined Poetry Soup. I smile now, because I have met this wonderfully diverse group. August 7th, 2013 was a day that would change my life. I finally found the place where I could express my cares and strife. I know that I say this often, and yet it is still not enough. Thank you all for bringing me happiness on days that were rough. To Linda, The "Poet Destroyer" and her sister SKAT. You both welcomed me warmly and I will never forget that. To Chan Hurst, who is much more than "Just That Archaic Poet". We will always be friends to the end, and you know it. To Nature Boy, .... well ..... what more can I say? You have helped and inspired me to blossom in every way. To Gail Angel Doyle, Debbie Duncan, Cheryl Dunn, and Michael Clarke. Thank you for knowing that good things can come from the dark. To John "Jake" Posey, who mentioned Poetry Soup while on another site. You were actually the first person to tell me that I could write. To Isaiah Zerbst, with whom my first collaboration would be. Thank you so much for seeing the poetic potential in me. To Mustapha Mohammed, a true "partner-in-rhyme". Thank you for allowing my poetry to take up some of your time. To Peter and Vera Duggan, Liam McDaid and Carolyn D. Your kindness and friendship always meant so much to me. To Bindu Vijayan, Johnny Rhinem, Yasmin Khan and Becca L. Thank you for truly understanding my words so well. To Andrea Dietrich, Nette Onclaud, Debbie Guzzi and Giorgio A.V. I truly appreciate the encouragement that you've given to me. To F.J. Thomas, Mystic Rose, Richard L., and Anne-Lise A. Meeting kind-hearted people like you has made me want to stay. To Thomas Simunsen, Karen Anglesey, Dr, Ram Mehta and Drake E. I think you have read almost every poem ever written by me. To Matthew Anish, Charmaine C., Shadow H., and Dave Wood. Thank you for making me smile more than anyone ever could. To Robin Davis, Danesh Morgan, Roger H., Litan D., and Sara K. I appreciate all of you visiting me nearly every single day. To Christopher Thor Britt, Carrie C., Justin Bordner, and Craig C. None of your written words have ever failed to inspire me. To Casarah N., Robert Lindley, Paul Callus and Arthur V. Thank you all for just being so friendly to me. We all share a common passion through the writing of a poem. I am so lucky to have found a place that feels like home. There are many friends that I have met along the way. So, thank you all for brightening up the last 365 days.
