Ive Just Joined a Group Called Poetry Soup

Ive just joined a group called poetry soup
A troop of writers , Ney intellectual fighters 
They lay themselves bare , Pray you care
To take the time , read there rhyme 
and ask them the question
What inspired there direction
Enquire if poetry has salvaged there soul
or has it just papered over the hole
Because we've all been tainted
had our integrity painted
In a light that displeased us
Thankfully humility cleared us
To have another go
Get on with the Show   
For the actors need words
Otherwise they cannot be heard

"A troop of writers" with compassion and encouragement. Welcome to our Soup family. And yes, I think writing is a part of our souls. Interesting reflection. Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Karen

Christopher, How right you are. The Bard rightly called us all actors and we do need our lines. We few devotees here at the Soup try to keep ourselves and each other well supplied. Welcome aboard. Keep writing. Always, Will

"Intellectual fighters" who "lay themselves bare" is a very good observation of the Soup members, Christopher. Welcome aboard and the last two lines are awesome! Best Wishes, Carolyn
