I Checked Out the Soup
Sitting at my desk, pen poised to write
I was going nowhere fast all day and all night
When my Muse suggested I check out the Soup
See what was up with my friends in the group
So I turned to the poems of those that I follow
They soon had me a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'
Jan's sweet marriage proposal gave me new hope
That she and I would -- LOL -- soon elope
Sam K's delightful, serendipitous 'Poets at Play'
had me planning a virtual picnic by light of day
Mike Gentile's tender poem had me nearly in tears
while Ilene Bauer's had me smiling ear-to-ear
And so many others deserving of mention
Sandy Adams, David McHattie had my rapt attention --
When I finally finished in a short hour or two
All I could say was, "Poetry Soup Poets, THANK YOU!"
