Notes About The Poem
To all of the friendships that I've cultivated here on Poetry Soup. My 100th poem a dedication to all of you to your love to your kindness to your inspirations but most of all to your friendships. This is a work in progress and it will be updated from time to time a living poem that will live on long after I die.

A Century To the Soup Combined

Eddie currents confused the conduits in this mind
How can the transformers in the brain go not blind
Confusing is the light, direct me as it's straight shined
Hundreds of emotions imprisoned and confined
Thoughts going back to teenage years deeply pined
Worrying about the love effects totally enshrined
Consider this cancer, your thoughts are far too kind 
This melon has been carved deep, right to the rind
Missing all that I've lost, forever rightly defined
Penned for the world to read like riding bare on equine
A century, now I've given the soup all I have mined
Mentored by Sotto, DT, Mo, Anaya, and P. Hind
Mused by Constance, Brandy, Sunshine, Anna, I've refined
Influenced by Gershon, Paula, and Dilly, like whine
Holding fast to FJ, Charles, Eve & Deb my heart relined
My love for you all wide openly is to remind

The pen bleeds, yet that accompanying light headedness isn’t due to blood loss. Poets are lucky that way. No other blood loss lends itself to immortality. Well, except for vampires. Damn, I was deep there for a mo. ;), Thank you my poetry friend. xomo
