A Form of Abuse

Once espoused, poetry the cause
now even when aroused
I listen to my muse and pause
if only to take a second look
wondering if I will revisit
as I might a favorite book.

I feel like Soup is a comfort zone, even if not applauded, I'm not put down either, and as I read through so many poems, yes I rarely post, but am without doubt, inspired.

Oh My Gosh, I didn't realize any win, but thank you all and everybody. I know I'm not a world class poet, but is a strong passion, so I keep working at better.
