Letter to Poetry Soup

The laptop screen flickers as I turn to you. A dream lingers and a branch outside my window waves. I browse posts and comments and I’m connected. A bird off somewhere sings a world waits outside my window. I wonder what to poem and what to share. In quiet moments reflections take shape to fill empty pages. Although we’ve never met we’ve always been friends. I must let you know regardless of how far I’ve travelled I’ve always come home. The sun pokes through clouds a touch of gold. And the sky above— it’s an endless ocean.

Such a beautiful poem of warmth and finer feelings. We all feel connected through poetry soup though most of us haven't met anywhere in life. Still we share a camaraderie. After being away for sometime, when we come back to poetry soup, we feel like having come back home. This poem is so beautifully composed and I enjoyed reading it much dear Mike.

Oh how incredibly tender and real! What a unique way to come at this challenge...I love that your poem is addressing poetrysoup as a person. Which, at heart, I guess it is... it's all of us here who share and read what others share. Really solid write! Xoxo<3

Home is where the heart is, as they say, and this is certainly a heartfelt nod to 'home,' Mike. Excelsior! ~ Gershon
