Ladies of Poetry Soup

I read their words and stand in awe
Poetic words that have no flaw
For an old sailor who has seen his day
These ladies still take my breath away

They write with passion and hearts of gold
And as they write, new worlds unfold
Their legacy will be carved in stone
Each has a style all their own

I read each word and dwell on each line
On a dreary day, they make the sun shine
I sit at my computer as another day closes
I feel like a thorn in a bouquet of roses.

Superb closing line! What a wonderful tribute to our talented ladies... again, your cadence and rhyming are exquisite and your content sublime! BRAVO my friend! Best wishes, Keith (PS when you have time please take a look at 'Portrait;' you need comment only on one part. Also, 'Nightscapes' and 'Forecasts.' They are all tributes to T.S. Eliot.) Thanks! K.
