Gratitude

I became a souper writing poems as best I could. At first there weren’t that many, and they really weren’t that good. As I was learning what to do by reading other soupers writes, I felt if I applied myself, that I could reach new heights! I began to enter contests, but just one at a time! Cause the only forms I ever knew were Limerick and Rhyme! I was shocked to learn how many forms of Poetry there are! Most I still don’t understand, I find them real bizarre. I’ve taken shots at three of them Haiku, Senryu, and Quatern. I really didn’t do too bad, but I have so much more to learn! I've entered many contests, all-in-all I've done okay. A few have even won first place which was encouraging, I must say! I was very happy that I could do that well. I had very little confidence, but you can never really tell! You all have been so gracious with your comments on my stuff I know that I would be remiss not to thank you all enough. So thanks to all my Souper friends for doing what you do, cause I wouldn't still be writing, if it were not for you! Thanks and Bless You all
