Harry Horsman Poet Name

Poetry Soup 2022

Poetry soup
Offering gifts of 
Eloquence and rhetoric 
This emancipation of candour 
Revitalized in common goals when 
Yielding seeds of open-mindfulness

Specifications spontaneously unshackled 
Oppression outlawed; this is indeed the 
Unreservedly unremittingly 
Punchbowl of purposefulness and literature.

Suzanne Delaney September 1, 2022 at 4:06 PM I love this Acrostic, Harry: I often wish I had known about Poetry Soup sooner. So often I don’t have time to be here as much as I would like to, but when I am able to be,it is just as you describe. So glad to know you. SuZ

Brian Sambourne August 25, 2022 at 7:56 PM Simply superb, Harry. You are a wordsmith extraordinaire here. What startling alliteration throughout like, "Specifications spontaneously shackled" or "Punchbowl of purposefulness..." A stellar write - a sharp snapshot of the hot soupers of this poetry site.
