As the Soup Stirs

I stand here with my warm cup from the pot...
All the poets are the ingredients, none I forgot...
Some combine to form a spice we can savor...
Others create an aroma that brings a sweet flavor...
Without all of us adding our taste and turning the spoon,
there would just be some hot water and a meal ruined...
No one adds more then the other, otherwise it wouldn't blend...
It's a pot of soup cooked up by all with poetic hands to lend...
So gather around my table and smile as you share a cup...
And across the world we shall taste and raise our glasses up...

It sure needs some different flavours to cater to everyone's taste MJF, quite a gem and a reminder that each or us has a unique element to bring to the fore! Love this xoxo
