Poetry Soup Connections

I have truly become fond of many poets here on Poetry Soup And to be quite honest that has completely surprised me l never believed a human connection could be made via a screen Yet…. l have proved myself wrong completely I do have a gullible soft hearted nature Thus…. l am easily taken for a ride So , l do question at times if ‘some’ of those connections are mutual Or coming only just from one side I hope these poets feel the connection as l do And our cyber connection is honest and real I would be sad to think otherwise Disappointment and mistrust l would feel!

I am like you and have a soft heart and would feel sad if our connection was unreal. I thank God for all who are real and honest in my life and who have best intentions at heart. Nothing is gained by being false. Thankful for your friendship. love phyl

Hi Deb you are a good soul and as I feel I'm not too bad either you are a true friend for me. What do people gain from falseness or being unkind or cold or being awkward or arrogant in their remarks . So sad so very sad. I thank God I have wonderful awesome witty friends on soup who are part of my life. Hugs blessings Jennifer

I think the vast bulk of us here are genuine, Deb, at least I like to think so. Alas, with the advent of AI, I find myself looking for signs of ‘computer brain’. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to distinguish between that and plain simple ‘numpty’. Yours, honestly and truly and ever so real, Terry. Hmmm… could you transfer 900 Austrailian Dollars, by Western Union, for my great grandmothers operation. I would be ever so greatful ;-)

I so agree with you Deb! I do find it amazing that the sense of friendship grew on line like this. Really though, it seems a great way to know someone as though fiction is often written, often, true deep feelings are expressed and perhaps more easily than on person! Anyway, my feelings are genuine !! Happy Wednesday xxoo

Oh Deb it is refreshing to read from another heart on sleeve poet! I’m feeling the same and in fact just wrote about my feelings as well! I’m so grateful to you and other kind poets who are friends and I feel sincere! This is a heart warming poem and thank you for writing and sharing it with us! Hugs

We love each other's poetry. Each is still unknown. Use caution.

Dear debx, i am the same as you and i trust easily and i can be quite gullible but having people like silent one in my life that constantly remind me of how the virtual world can be like, is helpful. Hah! I also have been through few betrayals and people turn against so easily but i think on soup people are very straightforward with what they think and feel and i surely hope also are more mature than other platform crowds. So I expect better: i made only one friend from soup. And she is sweet, i have a lot to learn from soupers and im grateful for all soupers: without soup i would have been really in a bad place last year. And you are a beautiful soul! Sending you light always

I'm with you, Deb. I guess that's why sites like this one are called "communities".

Hi, Deb. I can assure you that the connection (between you and me, at least) is very genuine. Enjoyed your poem, just as much as I enjoy hearing from you. Cheers from Canada, Jim.

I've been blessed to meet 4 soupers on my travels - we would never have met except for connecting on Poetry Soup! there are many i would love to meet and some I'd avoid like the plague but that's life! hugs janx x

you've described this very well, deb! i have also made some very cool poetic connections on the soup, some with people i'd have little in common with in any other part of my life. still, it's a lovely feeling to get and give comments to these online buddies...

Deb M
Date: 7/27/2024 8:22:00 AM

I'm with you, Deb. I have made some very nice connections here over the past 6+ years. And you are one of them... Cheers! ~ Gershon, a fellow 'gullible' soul

Thats nice that you have connected.... But always be careful as people in the virtual world can pretend to be whatever they want to be... some even get a bit brave behind a screen.... nice to see you have made good connections..

Deb M
Date: 7/27/2024 3:47:00 AM

Hi S.O....that's exactly what l am saying...l just hope l am not being my gullible self and the connection is reciprocal. I have been bitten once on here already.... So l am very aware but l am also very gullible...However, l do not trust or divulge private matters of the heart or my private business ....that always stays with me. I like the anonymity of just Deb M also....Thanks S.O.....Debx

Are you a Pisces, Deb? If not what sign are you? I was much like you when I came here. I still likeconnections. But I did learn that some people are not what they present themselves to be. The majority are.Like the real world, the online world has some destructive people! It is a reality, The only perfect world I see is after death. It is prudent and in my best interest to stop thinking me or my poetry wont be attacked,. Pangie xxxxx

Hi Pangie....no l am a Cancerian! I am aware and wary of the fact not so nice people out there and know everyone is not who they say they are. I am gullible , open and write from my heart....to a certain degree….both private business and private matters of the heart stay with me always...l think that comes from my mum as when we were children she used to says don't tell anyone any of our business" haha and that stuck with me!! I just hope all my poet connections are genuine and reciprocated...l believe most are!…..but who knows Haha!! Thankyou my lovely Pangie!! Debx

Hello Deb, Well just like you , I have made many friends here. I have a good connection them. I feel like i have known them for a very long time. example: I feel like I have known you a long time. /Darlene/ x

Darlene…You are truly the sweetest poet on Soup! Just like l said in the poem l wrote about you quite some time ago…in which l meant every word! Are you still dancing to Neil Youngs ‘Harvest Moon’ haha! I am a Neil young fan and l will always think of you dancing away now when l hear it!! I won’t forget you! Thanks…Debx

Yup, I feel the same! Connections made. We learn a little bit about one another but unless our souls spend time together we can never know each other well. Still this is a fantastic community I have loved for many years. As I ruminate on past contests and comments with some that have gone on, by death or choice, I am touched. Hugs, Deb!

Deb M
Date: 7/27/2024 8:09:00 AM

I agree Kim….it is a different connection for sure than meeting in person face to face and spending time….yet special connections nevertheless are made here for sure and it is a nice place to be. I had my closest connection on here leave this year and l am saddened by her not being here…it isn’t quite the same for me without her! Cuddles Kim…Debx

Paula…l believe you are one of the humblest most unassuming , encouraging poets on here…if l am wrong about that then l am way of signal haha!! I feel the same about our connection!….Thankyou….Debx
