Food for Thought

Some forms of soup both hot and cold to exercise the stomach, there's quite a few
 borscht, gazpacho, minestrone, mulligatawny, cock a leekie and there's a gumbo too

So many forms of poetry to exercise the mind, 
ABC, Cape diem, Crown of Sonnets, Double Dactyl, Villanic and Verse,  
Could it be that soup and poetry are somehow aligned ?

For all the years of consuming many different kinds of soup, a natural way made sense
This new found discovery of poetic form, yet come to grips
It's still  in a metaphoric thinking paddock, divided by a fence 

Learning sometimes feels  like mind is travelling in a thick pea souper fog 
A diversion, clearly now the time is ripe,  on a different site will log

And yes there is alignment !! Found a literary group
Wondered why it took so long to discover Poetry Soup
