First Draft

"Work in Progress-A poem saved but never completed or posted- the idea is fine, the structure needs a lot of improving" The Poet 

 Poems from over the world Africa to Thailand
 From Yorkshire to the Scottish Highland

 Every one a jewel in the right light,
 Every one is good, every one is right

 Poems on Soup are like links in a chain
 Reading each one gives us something to gain

 There are many whose poems are extremely fine
 They know who I mean, some have become friends of mine
        
 Some touch our heart, make us laugh or think
 But there's no such thing as a weaker link

 Unfinished

Tom Woody Date: 1/31/2024 8:23:00 AM Very uplifting, though I would suggest the last line may not necessarily be true. I do like the eclectic feel of this site and love African poems rich in culture Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 1/31/2024 11:12:00 AM Retrieved this from my "Well that didn't work" file, for Suzette's contest. She wants first draft poems that never made it to be posted. One day I will "fix it up". I agree about African poetry and art also. Thanks for the comment Tom. Cheers from Wen

This one became forgotten before it was made worthy of posting. I found it when looking at my Doc file of unfinished poems. The idea behind it was good, and I thank you for your acknowledgement Anne-Lise. One day I will complete the chain. Best wishes Wen
