Me and the Pea

How are you today?
My friends on Poetry Soup.
I trust you are feeling well,
And put your worries at bay.

I think Poetry Soup is a very apt name
A macedoine of people,
Not one of them is the same

A mixture of people
All in an enormous pot
Not vegetating
As we all write poetry a lot.

If we had to have a veggie name
I would choose to be a pea
There are many peas in this pot
Similar to me.

The pot is full of flavours,
Some are bitter, some are sweet,
Making taste buds burst to savour
A deep-rooted treat.

Belonging to PS
It has broadened my mind,
I question things now
More than I ever did before.

It has brought kindness,
And encouragement,
From Penpals to my door.

A beautiful mixture of 
All different kinds.
Who at times beg to differ,
Or find a marriage of minds.

If you read this rhyme,
I hope you will see
The sincere thanks,
Appreciation and love
Sent to you from me.
