Gershon Wolf Poet Sonnet

For All You Dear Soupers

The poem I'm writing right now's number eight
   For me that is special; I must save the date  
I've been cranking them out, one on top of another
   For all you dear Soupers, all my sisters and brothers

I'm really quite lonely; that's the reason I write
   The family I come from was nervous, uptight
My parents and siblings were rather difficult folks
   Had trouble relaxing---couldn't tolerate jokes 

I understand it's not real; I comprehend the illusion
   Yet all you dear Soupers are my daily (blood) transfusion  
You comment so kindly on my poems each day
   Better than money, your words; they're my actual pay
 
So as I conclude these lines of inadequate appreciation
   Let us meet again tomorrow ~ same time and same station

Michelle Faulkner October 26, 2018 at 10:55 PM If I had won the Billion dollar lottery, I would have held the First Annual Poetry Soup Convention and paid for eveyone's travel expenses - and you (and your lovely wife) would have been the first ones invited! Gershon Wolf October 27, 2018 at 7:58 PM Michelle, I should really buy a ticket or two for you for the next lottery! Thank you for the sentiment. :) gw
