Poetry Soup Guffaws

My Soup friends are out of sight When I’m lonely in the night Their poems I read And come up to speed And everything seems alright Poems in shapes and sizes Poets in different guises Some are really hot Their words hit the spot So welcome to the prizes!! Some write of nature and plants Though not one about the ants Some hot body parts Some mention the arts While others write raves and rants Each has a story to tell Most poets are really swell Some write about sex Their great big "dog" Rex Or how love has turned to hell! There are lots of contests too One’s sure to appeal to you Footles may be fun Word games and a pun I stick to the tried and true I cannot write on demand Or my muse will have me canned I write what I feel And that is my deal But well wishes to this band!
