I googled the internet  “Contest Poems for money”
I didn't know what I was doing since I didn't have many

But, I needed a way to vent with words I could use to create
Taking me to worlds I would appreciate

Much therapy needed, I thought I had found a way
Writing was an outlet I had discovered that day

Poetry Soup was the name of the game
I clicked on the icon, and enrolled my name

I found an old poem from my wedding day
So, I thought I would put it on display

Two comments appeared in my “In-box”
I replied and things began to unlock 

I have various poems of all types
And friends write me, this I like

They support me through my struggles with grief
Poetry Soup was what gave me relief

Thank you to all my friends in cyberspace 
And, thank you to PS for providing a creative place!

LOvely dedication Holly! PS is a great outlet for creative minds. It starts with one poem, then you find you have so much to share. Personally, I love the exposure I get to new forms of poetry and the friendships forged from a common goal. Keep on writing. Stay strong.
