A Short Apology To Soupers

I must take a little time here to say what I feel. I apologize to all soupers, for lowering the tone of your site, with my, so-called poetry. I have always tried to belong here but I have never felt that I do. I think on this often, wondering whether I should just go for good. I have a few ideas I would like to bring to fruition first. After I try out these ideas I shall see whether I leave or stay. I thank the few friends I have, for sticking by me. I guess I am still feeling low. The apology is most sincerely given and I write once more, I apologise for lowering the tone of your site with my words. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Your friend....Mike.

You are not alone. I think most poets are prone to these emotions. We feel things deeper and long to be understood. Through our writings we provide a glimpse but many times others are dealing with their own doubts and have veils over their eyes.

Definitely staying Richard. Ready to start the next part of Alahsar. I shall put it on, tonight or tomorrow. I was actually off-line because of the arthritis in my hands. Better now though. Have a wonderful Wednesday when it comes. Blessings....Mike.

Personally I have always felt you are one of the most talented and kind poets on the site. You are generous and attentive. I know at times for me it is hard to keep up with many here who I consider friends. If I do not comment for a bit it is due to time constraints not desire to connect.

Hi Richard, thank you for dropping by and the comment, it is much appreciated. When I wrote this I was on an all-time low. I don't know, it is actually me and my illness. I have never felt as if I belong on the soup, in writing this, I do intend to stay. I still have friends on the Soup . Have a wonderful Wednesday when it comes. Blessings....Mike.

Dear Mike, Yours is a truly humble, sensitive soul, and I can understand how perceived rejection can be extremely painful... I am a guilty party here, as I stopped commenting on your poems a while back, and I really don't know why. They are romantic treasures, my friend. Please write on, despite schnooks like me. Thanks for reading and perhaps re-considering. Warmest wishes, Gershon

Hi Gershon, thank you for dropping by and the comment on this post. You are no guilty party my friend. I wrote this when I was feeling really low. I have not removed the post and I truly believe at this time that I do lower the tone of the site. Still, I write as the heart dictates my friend. Have a wonderful Wednesday when it comes. Your friend....Mike.

Mike, Never set your clock to another man's watch. You are the star that shines bright in the skies that you belong. And you belong to our skies too. -Richard

Hi Richard, your words are so true. I was on a real low when I did share this post. I do intend to keep posting on the site. I think I shall stand by the apology though. Thank you for dropping by, it is much appreciated....Mike.

Hi Heidi, thank you for dropping by and the comment. I think I reached a real low last night when I wrote this. I do believe it though, so |I stick by my apology. Today, I know I shall not be leaving. I shall carry on here, on the soup. Have a wonderful tuesday. Hugs....Mike. XX
