Poetry Soap

It’s almost time and I must run to watch/read Poetry Soap for fun. It comes on every day at this time and I don’t want to miss a single rhyme. Some are about a long-lost lover written by a secret poet undercover. Some are about jealousy and some about trust with rhyming lines filled with lust. Competition is part of their game with bards and musicians hiding their name. They covet a prize and praise galore laid at their feet and virtual door. But when Poet A falls in love with Poet B you can bet there’ll be flaming words from Poet C. Or when Poet D gets Poem of the Day Poet E will have something to say. Sometimes it’s fun to read the rhymes of hate whenever I can’t sleep and stay up late. Battles of wits, Poets who have fits, Some who sing, Some who sting. Magical flights to lands of old written with passion and pens of gold. But it’s the humble ones I adore whose words are pure, their egos left at the door. Each episode an unending story with poets and their pets seeking glory. It’s addicting like dope. I don’t want to miss today’s episode of Poetry Soap.

Carole, I have clicked on ten of your poems and I keep seeing I have commented on them. Do you know of any I have not seen? Anyway, returning to this one because it came up as your BEST poem at Soup. I think everyone just loved it because it was about all of us and so much fun.

HOT DAMN. If I have ever failed to call you a name, TALENTED, please hear me loudly now. Wow, chickadee - you go. I do not FAV often because I'm such a forgetter, but I am FAVing this to hopefully rediscover over and over. You nailed it, should be the site's theme song. Just great. If this were a concert, I'd be hoping for an encore. Pls don't be gone ... CayCay

Carole, I just read Poetry Soap and listened to Vevo's Addicted to Love. Both were great, but your poem was the best. It covers every emotion one can find on Soup. Great write. I enjoyed it and the song.

You've captured this place well, Carol. Poetry Soup is a microcosm of the world, and you can bet all these things go on in everyday lives. Soaps wouldn't be so popular otherwise. Great write. Thanks for reading my work.

Third read, chuckling enough to blow soap bubbles! My mommy used to wash my mouth out with soap when I recited bawdy lim'riks. It did clean them up a bit. Soup as microcosm. At least we haven't had a massacre... yet. Cheers ~ john
