Feasting on the Soup



                            Feasting on the Soup tonight,

                        A scrumptious fare of pure delight

                           A wonderous place, assuredly

                            And nary one darn calorie!

Aw yes, calorie free and rich in wholesome energy packed delight! Its sort of feast or famine with me sometimes, I haven't often been able to feast at my favorite site over periods of time, but I believe that being away from Poetry Soup for long periods of time causes heartache, so here I am again, and trying to catch up on all the sweet comments I had missed! Thank you for all your visits and encouraging comments to my poems Victor, I :)

Mmm, it is delicious! It seems its feast or famine, I love devouring and savoring the delicious rich array on here, and then away such a long time, but here I am, catching up...somewhat! Yes, I love the spicy ones too, scrumptious!

Dear BJ, You had me grinning from the first spoonful to the last rhyme! Just the kind of joyful mischief we all need more of so delicious, clever, and guilt-free! I love how you turned a simple pleasure into a whimsical moment of pure delight. Summer Blessings, Dear BJ, Daniel

Dear B.J., this is a pretty humorous poem. Relish every last drop of this delicious dish of soup! Pleasant to see your return. I appreciate the carefree atmosphere here; a free of fat meal looks like my ideal evening! Wishing you smooth sailing.

Thank you Valsa, yes, I am far too sporadically on site and enjoying all the fare of this wonderful Soup. I wasn't fine, had been struggling for a bit, but modern medicine along with a healthy dose of joy is bringing me back around :) It is good to be back again <3

Mhmmm!! I love second and third helpings, guilt free indulgence! With flavors of every kind and a few Haiku sorbets to top it all off!
