Michael Torres

It’s New York’s very own, Making Poetry-Soup his home. For we all know his caring heart, From his loving, caring, honest remarks. Not only does he remodel homes, His watchful eye loves to roam, On Poetry-Soup late at night, To bring us humor and delight. There’s times he speaks of things, That pulls on our heartstrings. He’s his own masterpiece, With loving beauty that’ll never cease. I read his comments everyday, And love what he has to say. Michael Torres you’re our friend, Someone special I’d recommend. You’re a kind and loving soul, That we’ve all come to know. And a fine contemporary bard, This poem’s for you, with my regards. Michael, this poem is for you and it's my way to thank you for all of your beautiful and loving comments. You have been a blessing and an inspiration in our lives and in our poetic journeys. Your love overflows in every area of your life. Poetry Soup would definitely not be the same without you, my friend. I hope my words are accurate to some degree, if not drop me a comment and I will correct them, Your poetry and comments are more than a piece of literature, They’re more like the chronicles of Michael Torres. With love, peace, and respect from one poet to another...Raul Moreno

Raul by reading Michaels poetry I feel I know him. By reading your poem about him I can tell that you too are a "kind and loving soul" just as you said he was.
