A Full Soup Bowl With One Less

A full Soup Bowl,
that is full of red hot writers,
with many creative words to read.
Some write funny,
some write romance,
some write true to life,
some write tales of old,
some write very short,
some write very long
but all write from their heart.
 
A full Soup Bowl,
with one less.
Many of our wonderful writers have left us,
to a better place to write.
Heaven is the place,
a place were we one day will join in.
Another one of our writers went from our Soup Bowl,
writer Panagiota Romios left us Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2025.
Now in heaven writing away,
as she joins the other Soupers.
Many have left,
they have paved the way.
One day there will be a great reunion,
we can all join in together.
May They All Rest In Peace.....

Jerry T Curtis November 23, 2025 at 9:21 AM Paula what a beautiful tribute. The difficult thing for me is to know whether on not one of our peers has passed on or is suffering difficulties in life, or simply move on. Regardless their are not here and I miss them, and I'm certain many others do to. God bless Paula Goldsmith November 23, 2025 at 12:43 PM Glad you found this to be, a beautiful tribute. Thank You... I sent a couple writes Soup Mail. I had not seen them. They all are OK, just busy. I wish there was a way to list the ones that have passed on. Some are old, some are sick, some have given up on writing, some have moved on and some are too busy. I wrote this because I found out about Panagiota. I wanted this to be about all the Soupers that have passed on. I love your amazing work. Have a blessed week writing away..............

Valsa George October 17, 2025 at 9:12 PM Dear Paula, for me this is a shock. I didn't know that she passed away. I knew that she was recuperating after a fall..... but didn't know that her condition was so bad. This is indeed a loving tribute to Pangie. Along with her, remember all those who left before her. May their souls rest in peace. Paula Goldsmith October 18, 2025 at 7:54 AM "A Full Soup Bowl With One Less" is a tribute to all of the Soup writes we have lost. Glad you enjoyed it.

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 15, 2025 at 8:15 AM Dear Paula, a tender tribute to Pangie, warm and quietly devastating in the most beautiful way. You captured something sacred, how writing isn’t just words on a page, but a bowl we pass around, full of soul and memory. Pangie's absence and the love you poured into honoring her are such a great tribute. Thank you for keeping the bowl full, even when it’s missing our dear Pangie.
