A Taste of Life

Having drank deeply of life's many flavors, I still thirst. May the hunger of my soul's palette, Never be quenched. May my eyes find beauty, Where none seems to be. May my ears hear harmony, When no one is listening. May my tongue speak truth, When lies seem to prevail. May my hands always help a brother, Even when i need help. May my heart never grow cold, Or my soul too old.

JOHN, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
