A Tribute To Poetry Soup (Repost)

A tribute to poetry soup

T hat's been coming for a while
R egardless of your age or group 
I t always makes you smile
B eginners are made to feel at home
U nderstanding, they are poets too
T eaching or learning they're never alone
E ven though they might be new

T aking time to hold their hand
O ffering some great advice

P atiently, til they understand
O penly, and always nice
E ven if you're a master poet
T eaching, may be your gift
R eaching those, who just don't know it
Y ou can set their minds adrift

S o thanks to all that help us write
O r who's keeping us in the loop
U ntil my fingers, no longer type
P raises, to all at the soup

It is a great place to share our work, Larry. I'm glad you reposted this as there are many new people here who don't know how encouraging fellow Soup members can be. Enjoy your Fourth! Love, Carolyn
