Poetry Anniversary

After a year, the Allure still grows
Delicate steps have become sure
Expressive through Nonverbal space
Blessed by the Favor of notice
From cloudy gray to Pivot into glorious sun
Comforting Consolation through lonely days
Dulcet words awake and sing
Bedrock steady beneath Mirage of glass
For those who share and give posts
Has inspired my muse the most.

This is very touching and so easy to relate to throughout. I think I'm 3 years old now on Soup and each year the growth, et. al, gets better and better. I am so glad that you are here, Michelle, and I really enjoyed your poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

There are many soupers with a shotgun approach (believing out of many, one may hit the mark), but your approach stays the course! Aloha! Rico
