Four Years On Poetry Soup


Four years ago, I joined this site!
So much I’ve learnt from all who write.
Reviews, and contest placing too
A great big THANKS to all of you.

Good friendships made with much support
Genuine, free, and never bought.
Soup members, many on this site
Impress me with their words I like.

The words they write I must extol
Often, they’re left upon my soul.
I do suppose I’ll stay a while
Write mostly rhyme, sometimes free style.

Poetry Soup so are the best
For this I know, and can attest.
My writing skills have since improved
Since joining you, I’ve been approved.

I hope I’m still around for years
Stay positive when change appears.
May we keep writing with such style
Then read our poems with a smile.
