Friendship

From the time I joined the site
Really lovely poets have helped me
I have learned so many new forms
Even tried writing a few haiku poems
Never ever dreamed I’d be a writer
Doubted people would like my style
So many different forms to try out
How much joy writing has given me
I’ve even met some other soup poets
Poetry soup has changed my life!

I've known poets for over 12 years. We lose a poet every now and then. And some of them are the best you can read. I had my dry spell for maybe three years but I'm back now.You can also keep friends on FB.

It is wonderful to have you back , my friend. Every time I see one of your poems listed I know I am going to laugh, or cry or be deeply touched. Your acrostic is filled with such joy and appreciation - a gift to the soup! I so agree with your last line. PS has changed so many lives, mine included. A gift for sure. Best wishes in the contest. Hugs and blessings!
