Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Poetry Soup

Poetry Soup

If I took all the friends I've known
and put them in one group.
I have to share they can't compare
to friends at Poetry soup.

Through life and love and tragedy
I knew right from the start.
In the poems that we love to write
we all share just one heart.

From sunsets over mountains
and sunrise on the sea.
I could write forever
and miss what you mean to me.

As each we bare our heart and soul
and pen so many things.
Each word like one more feather
creating angels wings.

With a heart so filled with gratitude
in spite of all that we've been through.
The best that I have ever known
when I found understanding you.

Edwin C Hofert

Jan Allison April 14, 2015 at 11:42 AM Such a beautiful tribute to the many wonderful people here Edwin - it's a 7 from me:-) Hugs jan xx Jan Allison April 14, 2015 at 11:56 AM Your comment made me smile Edwin but I am no leader lol - I have many friends I have made here and they have been a great support to me both on and off the site... I am sure there are others who do not like me or my style - but our poetry is what brings us together as a group and makes the soup mix so exciting:-) Hugs Jan xx Edwin Hofert April 14, 2015 at 11:49 AM Thank you Jan :) You are the leader of the pack :) Hugs back.

Judy Konos April 13, 2015 at 6:59 PM I agree Andrea. First notice his poem "between lies and denials" and I seldom read lengthy poetry but if we were talking about football, he'd be known as a Sleeper.... Edwin Hofert April 13, 2015 at 7:23 PM LOL A sleeper :) Thank you Judy <3
