Poetry Soup

Poetry Soup

Evolution comes with a rage
To make decisions as I age
Discover with the use of words
To stir my brain or atrophy
Then write a line of poetry
Feel more words within my soul
Then open up to different forms
Awaiting comments at a turn
To learn from others as I write
Even till the dead of night
To read my colleagues every day
And share my thoughts so I can say
I’ve found another metier

Why are you here at Poetry soup Contest

Hi Funom: I hope you had a nice holiday and thank you for the kind comment. I thought a simple rhyme would sum up my feelings of Poetry Soup.

I echo your words, Ralph. Reading others' words at Soup and writing has come to mean a lot. One can go on a break, but will come back if only to read more of kindhearted people's words. All the best in the contest.
