Perfect Poetry Soup

What use is a poet, if without a pen, like a chef without a sharp set of knives. How bland is the soup, without sincere ingredients. Nourishing soul food needs fresh free verses of vegetables, sweet syllables of stock and an alliteration of parmesan, paprika or parsley. It is pointless being mute, when there is so much to say. But too much salt in the soup, can leave a bitter taste. No pen scribes with the same garnish, each pair of eyes focus differently. Like they say, too many grammar police, can spoil the broth. Too much pepper in a poem will lead to sneezing. Not all poets, share the same beliefs. Not all soup lovers, enjoy chicken soup- especially those with a vegetarian vocabulary. In the absence of judgement, words becomes pure. With the right ingredients, the soup is a symphony of flavours. Let the blood that flows from your veins, become the ink that creates the perfect soup.

SO, you have brilliantly described the essence of writing for poets and also left room for all of us who are so different in style. We can certainly strive for perfection in what we do and hope that the message rings in the hearts of others. However, at least we have the joy to see our own concoctions come together.

Within the heart are different emotions. With that being said, ' the soup, ' will taste differently as well. No one is perfect, but imperfect moments can be found in perfect poetry. Meaning: We don't feel each emotion in poetry the same way, and that's okay. Word of advice from someone who knows about cooking- never sneak a spice in someone else's food, unless you plan to eat it too. Congratulations Silent One, on Poem of the Day. This is so beautifully written and presented. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Congratulations on your POTD, Dear Poet SO. "fresh free verses of vegetables, sweet syllables of stock and an alliteration of parmesan, paprika or parsley" aren't these the right ingredients for a perfect soup? "vegetarian vocabulary" - that's me, Dear Friend! Warmest wishes ~

Very well deserving Dear Silent. Big congratulations on your POTD. Attending the function covers up for being late. I really love the metaphors and symbolism used. A fantastic recipe for writing. However, there are certain ingredients that a soup cannot do without and you've said it all. Cheers.

What an amazing poem SO I love it. Your poem has such character that it speaks to me about the ingredients I should add to make a perfect poetry soup. Not too much salt can leave a bitter taste and too much pepper in a poem will lead to sneezing 'In the absence of judgement, words become pure' .... 'Let the blood that flows from your veins, become the ink that creates the perfect soup'. Huge congratulations my friend on the much deserved honour of POTD. Blessings and hugs Jennifer,

Bland broth is tasteless but you’re right about having too much pepper. Finding the correct blend of ingredients makes it tasty and appetizing for everyone. Congratulations on having your soup chosen as potd.

Your poem has me craving for a good old fashioned soup, nothing like a perfect soup on a cold winters day. Let the blood that flows from your veins, become the ink that creates the perfect soup. I love these lines S1. A perfect choice for your well deserved POTD. Congratulations...Hugs
