More Soup Please

In a cabinet they sit,
                              untouched collecting dust..
                                Even the doors hinges
                                 have began to rust..

                                On the words I wrote,
                                only cobwebs appear.
                               I thought I wrote them,
                                  for no one to hear..

                                I wrote them for me,
                               I don't even know why.
                                I guess it's my outlet,
                               with the pen I can cry..

                                I would pull them out,
                            when the moon shines blue.
                                And recite to myself,
                                  a verse or two..

                             But now with the Soup,
                            my thoughts I can share.
                                Just being read
                        is like a blue ribbon at a fair..

                               I am not a poet,
                          this site is over my head.
                       I never could imagine the joy,
                           of simply being read..

                            Thank you so much,
                          for giving me this joy.
                      And my pen thanks you too,
                  for it knows now, it's not just a toy..

Thank you so much Jerry, Just a poorly educated Carpenter, I'll write the poems from the regular guy perspective .. No one will have to get out the dictionary for obscure words.. :)
