My Poetry Soup Recipe

Along the regular hustle-bustle of my daily life's distraction I know, I need to cook poetry soup - food of poets. So I heat my pan of imagination on flames of inspiration while I assort juicy words enriched with insightful meaning. Then I pour inside my pan, my fluid stock of emotions and add the words to simmer in it, to blend in properly. While the words get poached in my lucid intuition, I prepare my seasoning to enhance the flavor of my poetry soup. Depends upon my mood and the way I want its impression, whether to make it piquant or mild; searing hot or icy cold. I add hot-red paprika of scorching temptation that spices up the romantic soup and makes it very steamy. Some sugar lumps of longing love and passion can really turn up the love soup very sweet and lovely. To make it tangy, I add scraped orange zest of social disruption and vinegar of political corruption in my serious soup. To make it touchy and sad, I add acrid herbs of bleak depression and for funny soup, fresh mint leaves of humor is must. I guess...no, I'm sure! I have shared all the information about the special ingredients that I add in my poetry soup. Finally, when I am done, I serve my soup bowl in fashion garnished with some special characters and well formatted. ~*~ Profitez de ma recette de soupe ~*~
