Life At Poetry Soup

Some tell me they are tired of Poetry Soup. It's changed a lot, so, I get their distress! Then, I am told they have no time for it. Then why keep posting, if it is the pits? I have my aggravations, too. A few people keep me stuck here like glue! They know who they are. They are my encouragers, and never afar. I truly am grateful for those frequent few. They keep this poetess penning for all to view. 4/30/2021 ~ 2~ ~Dedicated to my special encouragers~

Whatever one writes with feeling, is written to the spirit of humanity. So...keep writing my friend. You are a light and a blessing to all of us. Joe.

Prince de Mino, greetings. I think your comment is a clear example of why poets reply. There is warmth, Humanity and your personality sparkles in it. You connect with folks.-))) cold comments should be axed. Nothing human in them. Cookie cutters need to be axed also. Most here can type for heavens sake. Delete cookie cutter comments. I mean it. They should use Plus signs. Like four pluses or one. They always type their name, however, and long, boring poems. Your Poet friend, Pangie xx

I remember when I joined four years ago it used to be so busy, your poem wouldn't be on long as the amount of traffic soon pushed it off the bottom. And comments were plentiful back then, but sadly no more. Hope it picks up soon. Tom

I don't think it ever will, Tom. So be it. Other sites encourage notifying your Poet Compatriots of your works. I invite anyone to soup mail me of a poem you would like me to read, better than the hunt and peck version. Would save time.and promote reads and COMNENTS. Pangie xx

Hello Darlene.. I face whatever situation as best I can. I am neither a total optimist nor pessimist.Just me. When 45 Jews died, In one day, I am sad. And all must be buried in 24 hours. Glad you and Alexis are close. It's what I give to the world that matters to me. I am grateful for all friends here. I has both the best and the worst in my long Life. I always am chasing a goal. I have been since I was 16. All my dreams came true....to date. Thank you...Pangie XXOO

Hi Panagiota, For me, Soupville will always be a safe haven. Especially during the trying times due to the Covid lockdowns. If I didn't have this place, I probably would have gone insane. I agree the soup has changed, and it's not the same. But I try to focus on the positives instead of the negatives. Such as my amazing soup friends. Thanks for penning such a write. Have a great day and weekend:-) Alexis

Dearest Robert, Golly! So glad we share the same emotions about the Soup. Those who keep us going are treasures beyond measure. And especially thank you for saying something positive about the poem itself. The Soup clearly encourages that. They do NOT say.. Repeat the Poem back))) waste of time! Pangie xx Leaves me ice cold.
