Poetic Sensibility

I felt the need to say
Thank you,
To all P Soupers
Who honoured me as the poet of the day
It helped to blow away the blues
When I read the fantastic news
This honour meant more to me
Than writing this poetry
It made my heart aglow
To think that people I don't know
Read my simple observations
And offer kind congratulations
P S has been a boon to me
Like an extended family
Their encouragement and remarks
Fire my brain and make it spark
Which puts more ink in my pen
So I may try again.
To write another little rhyme
Anytime.
Thank you, everyone
I am feeling overcome
With emotion and glee
For the honour you bestowed on me
