Hot Soup/Ladies

I have been gone for a while
needed time to regroup
this delectable mixture
this poetry soup

When I am not here
I wonder with query
uplifting comments of Karen Leary

Kristin Reynolds my friend
this is not a wrap
as she weaves you into her poetry trap

Sharon Weimer my sweet
just how are you
she molds you into her poetry stew

Patricia Adams, Heidi Buys and Chitra Lakhera
I hold none closer or who are dearer

Janice Herzog, Carrie Richards, and Christy Hardy
pour in the ingredients of this tasty party

Rhoda Galgani, Elaine George, and Laura Mckenzie
who stir up the words and stir something in me

Sara Lokken, Farah Chamma, Fathima Dawood
so inspiring the ingredients so delicious, so good

Teresita Cailo, Adell Foster and Constance Lafrance
this smorgasbord, so hearty it makes one dance

flavors and seasonings that makes up this group
all the ingredients enhanced by diverse poetry soup

TO THE ONES THAT I MISSED 
NOT AN INTENTIONAL SLIGHT
SO MANY TO ADD IN NOT AN
OVERSIGHT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW OF
THE DIVERSITY WITHIN
BECAUSE WRITING UNITES AND ALL
COLORS BLEND
BECAUSE POETRY IS COLOR BLIND
AND WE SHOULD BE AS WELL
MAY WE ALL HAVE A BETTER YEAR
AND LIVE TO TELL THE TALE
