Where Have All the Poets Gone Revised

Where have all the Poets gone, I wish I knew, cause I miss them some? Do you think there wasn't enough deserving praise, and they decided not to stay? Their special words, touched us like Poe's, I wonder, where did they all go? Was their passion missing when they went to write, or did they find another site? There were so many through the years, bringing me joy, laughter and some tears. I think of them from time to time and wish they would post another rhyme. They touch you with their special writes, and keep you reading through the night. There are so many that went astray. Comeback, I yell to them, don't run away! If you must go our special friends, remember to please stop by again. Michael Tor

- First of all ... nice to see you back Michael :) - Someone comes and someone goes ... there are many I really miss here on "soup" - Not many Norwegian members who stop over time ... I have the "record" :))) - I have experienced and learned a lot, both good and bad .......................

- Every time I have trouble (with the "bullies on the soup"), I see who are my real friends - Trifiatis Demetrios is one of my best friends, I would like to thank you for supporting him today (he posted two poems today ... and he did it for me - even though he himself has trouble with soup for the time being) Together we are strong - Again, many thanks :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Hi Becca, I'm fine missed you guys thought I'd come back slowly and write some more. It is nice to see you all especially you. I notice Tom is not here and a few others this saddens me. I wrote this for them. Demetrios my rock is still here. So may have parted though. I will visit later going off to work. Hugs to you Becca.

I have felt this same way about so many of my friends who have left the site, Michael. I wish they would come back. Perhaps some will at some point in time. I feel with you.

It's always a pleasure to see writers stopping by to post or comment after having taken a break. It is also a pleasure to see new faces, but it's sad when others leave. Wishing you all the best, Michael. // paul

How lovely my friend, Michael you are back posting again. This is a delight to read your beautiful poetry again! What a superb tribute to all your old friends my friend! I was much touched by the feeling of your poem. Fortunately some of the old friends are here but I am certain a loving poet like you will make new ones! Your return fills my heart with joy!

There are many people on my list that no longer are active Michael, some are not here for health or family reasons and sadly some are victims of the bullying and sniping and they get to the stage they can't take any more:-( hugs jan xx

That is so sad Jan. I hope and pray for the sick and those that have been bullied I hope they can forgive those that have hurt them and come back. Thank you for your thoughts...
