Happy Thanks

Poetry was my passion
A passion I never denied myself
Myself I held responsible
Responsible for all the pain
The pain that I always felt
Felt my work was useless
Useless for others to read
Reading it could only bring
Bring shame and laughter
Laughter it did bring when
When I was fortunate
Fortunate to join the soup
Soup became my force
Force through which flowed
Flowed words and rhymes
Rhymes from the heart
Heartfelt thanks to all my friends
Friends who always supported
Supported and encouraged
Encouraged to enter this New Year
New Year with cheer and joy

Smiles as I read this, Tahera since I could very well relate to the Soup being a "force" behind writing poetry-- I don't think I would have been as prolific in writing this year if it weren't for the inspiration and encouragement that I get from the amazing poets here such as yourself... I sure am lucky to read this- thank you for this inspiring poem that affirms my thoughts on the Soup :) May 2011 bring you to more wonderful poetry, Tahera & thank you for your inspiring comments :) -- nikko :)
