Poetry Soup

A world community like no other, this troupe Of writers and lovers of insightful poetry Gathered under the imprimatur of Poetry Soup -- Delightful, inspirational, sometimes contrary With verses ranging from wildflowers to poop. Something for everyone in these lofty environs Even historical forays and pedantic endeavor From sonnets to limericks, epigram, and puns, Versifiers here are creative and extremely clever Someone might even write something that stuns. Here we meet trolls, gremlins, and a gleeful fairy Playful nursery rhymes and some serious thought An occasional juicy bit like a fresh ripe strawberry, An incredible story with a convoluted poetic plot Poetry Soup can make a most stressful day merry. So, join us here and find pleasure in our pieces Take up your pen and write for us a few keen lines Find a place where your pent-up anger releases, And all the best muse in you matures and refines Expression is welcome where wonder never ceases.
