Encouragement Binds Me To the Soup

A poet’s warm and spicy place to meet, The soup will stir emotions bright and rare. There, friends will write their best poetic feat. And inspirations season thoughts with flare. The words that flow may have no rhyme or beat. But formal forms are often shared with care. While contests challenge many poet’s mind. Encouragement from friends does my heart bind. © January 14, 2012 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen
