All the Poets On the Soup!

Be it day or late at night
They fight

To pen their next thoughts
Charismatic, romantic, sadness, fights

Friendship, hurt, hate, war, or plain silliness
Poets reach for their inspiration and access

While others thrill with anticipation to absorb
Floating in another place as an orb

Are poets …

Though we don’t always know their face?
But should all embrace

These wonderfully talented people
Share their work shout it out as high as a steeple

Poets are everyday creative folk
They’ll have you laughing at one of their poetic jokes

Poets will take an event or place
And step it up a notch with grace

They can make you feel and see, is thou you were right there
I declare they have a unique flare

Today I say I wish to celebrate the poets on soup
What a fun interesting wonderful group!


(Thank you all of you for your wonderful work and passions)
And thank you to the owner of soup for making all this happen!

This is just an awesome tribute to all the poets on the Soup's site. I like the message and the feeling of great esteem it sends. There are times when we have to bribe the muse. LOL!!! Great job! ~Joseph
