Sotto Poet Poet Free verse

I Miss

Written: July 30, 2024 For Ink Empress Contest

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My blood is infused with poetry
I hope to share with you my inner views
We should all praise our poetry
Without resentment or jealousy
We've been doing this ever since
Check out how many friends we miss
That's what brought us together. 

We must respect and trust each other
We all experience bumps and suffering
and boost one another's spirit
Everyone here is extremely lovely 
Our hearts reach out to wide horizons
to exchange thoughts or emails
We have become and will remain a family 
The best friendships never stop.
It will only last a lifetime.

Still, I found myself missing you here
A gnomish jigsaw piece vanishes without reason
I was absent from both prose and stanzas
Then it hit—maybe you were away
Trophy-winning freedom for others
I'm glad to view you squiggling around
in cyberspace again
An audience is taking in our lyrical poetry.

Ink Empress August 8, 2024 at 6:36 AM Ah dr sotto, a very different write from your ink this time, and yes sometimes we miss what we had and also it isnt easy, being on top as theres so many that get jealous, in the world of poetry art and many more, all we can do is express sincerely and give what we wish to receive too. What a thoughtful and heartfelt poem well woven this is. I love the way youve expressed! Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your win

Valsa George August 2, 2024 at 11:17 PM Dear friend, I didn't know you are back after the trip. I too have been too busy and in the shadow of a horrendous landslide that shook a part of our state. Though we remain unaffected, most of my time is spent on watching the news of those who survived the tragedy in which hundreds died and who lost everything. Your poem speaks of friendship. When we are away we miss our friends. We have a big gang of friends here on Poetry Soup. Happy to say you are one of my dear friends who always encourage and boost me with your wonderful comments. Welcome back.

Jay Narain July 31, 2024 at 11:28 AM Nice to see your spirit of comradery and respect for other poets. Winning a contest is not everything, being there counts.

Hilda Greenhough July 31, 2024 at 8:42 AM Good luck with the contest. You have well described the comradery of poetry.

Miranda Hawley July 30, 2024 at 8:07 PM What an opener you have with "my blood is infused with poetry". I mean just wow on that. I think we here on Soup do a better job respecting each other than in other realms like, politics.
