Long Live the Soup

Long live Poetry Soup My life without it is inconceivable What did I do before I discovered it Seems I've been here forever The joy it's brings me cannot be put into words Recently, there has been a bit of an upheaval Feelings have been hurt We've lost some very, very dear friends But the spirit of the Soup is strong And lives on These recent events will fade Restoring the haven the Soup is known for It resembles life itself The up, the downs, but through it all It is surely worth the struggle Long live the Soup!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Well if you don't read the blogs, you wouldn't know about it unless somebody tell you about it! which is how I heard about it Silly childish nonsense! Lost a couple of sweeties because of it but it seems to have settled down now though! Stay away from that stuff dear Donna! Loving hugs XOXOX

What struggle? You mean Dragon? Naw... He's a pussy cat... ER... Rather a Dragon... But with Dragon: if your in for a penny...Then your in for a pound... PoetrySoup is quiet by comparison... Love you Guys... and Dragon loves you too... In his own way, of course.... He says to: Live Long and Prosper... Er.. Dragon... You can't fool anyone in that costume!... Yea... I know you're not Spock... Today's my turn sooo...I AM! HAH! LOL

Was never involved with differences some people had! All seems to have settled down now but could flare up again! Silly childish people! XOXOX
