On Soup

(A TETRA-PENTAMETER...)

(8 Lines, 10 Syllables)

Many a talented writer features
Here on Soup. Whatever dreamt up creatures
Rise and shine in the poetic limelight,
They're inspiring! And most Soupers just might
Develop their own for the site. Alone,
Creatively, their own skills hone. Mind blown!
But proof they've grown... In order to succeed,
Indeed, write to make others want to read.

Many a talented writer
Features here on Soup. Whatever
Dreamt up creatures rise and shine in
The poetic limelight, they're in-
Spiring! And most Soupers just might
Develop their own for the site.
Alone, creatively, their own
Skills hone. Mind blown! But proof they've grown.
In order to succeed, indeed,
Write to make others want to read.

I think each writer finds their comfortable form. I never knew about all the different types to me a poem was a poem however it came lol. Yes there's so much more to learn. All the best.

I was encouraged by a fellow Souper to give this form a go. And this was my 3rd try, and as they say, "3rd time lucky!" I got it!! Was quite a challenge... But that's the wonderful thing about how poets on this site help eachother to grow in their writing. Thank you for your encouraging words :-D
