Meet and Greet

The people I see 
Are not who I know,
Nor will I ever meet.
But something inside 
Has made me feel compelled
To want to go and greet

To hear their stories 
Would be great fun,
The tales of old and new
And when they're done
I’d say goodbye
Maybe even, thank you.

The people I see
Are not who I know, 
Nor will I ever meet.
But what's inside
Matters the most
For our little Meet & Greet.

Jenna, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
