the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

Gratitude and Honour arises from the poetry soup site

To those who sit, anonymously making choices, 
behind the soupy site
My gratitude, feel honoured to be chosen best new poet for two weeks  and also POTD,
inspired, so more poems I will write

At age seventy seven, told that I am old, my reply, "if I think that way I will be"
some are taken aback
This honour bestowed upon me, I now know, gotta long way to go,
before I regard myself, as an uninspired hack
