Poetry Soup Friend Tribute

A tribute to a poetry soup friend
A friend who inspires me and encourages me
along the way
A tribute to a friend who is always interested in what my poetry has to say
A tribute to a friend so warm and so true
A tribute to a friend who's as wonderful as you
A tribute to a friend who's feed back is always kind
and from the  happy thoughts which  we can recall
you are all very special friends
so this tribute is a tribute to you all.

Diane, this is a wonderful write and oh so true. I too had trouble picking one so I was not going to enter at all. Then it happened... I was sitting here at my kitchen table working on something totally different and "The Man" popped into my head and would not leave...lol. So I entered the contest with that one. Thank you for your wonderful comments and for being an inspiration to me and so many others both in writing and in Spirit. Best of Luck in the contest! ~ Smiles from Lolita

Hi Diane, You are right when you say that poetry soupers give positive coments. It is those comments that have helped me write even better. I always look forward to that positive reinforcement. It is just too difficult to pick one. I started to write some acroustics for as many as possible, but I couldn't find the words that expressed how much they mean to me. I can tell by your poem that you feel the same way. God Bless you. Love, Dane

Thank you for your kind words Diane. It was written many years ago, and needless to say I am no longer in the same place. KC x

Diane, a most cosmopolitan, and politcally correct write ... it shows courage of departure, that you are true friend of all ... I am glad you are who you are ... inspiring always. Love.
