Poetry Soup Has Soul

PoetrySoup has illustrious wordsmiths,
	Helpers, counselors, encouragers. Human muses.
I jumped on this site with eagerness, not daring to hope for
			Even a partial bit of what I have received.

I took the leap of faith, joining right away,
	Without any idea how these new friends would soothe my soul.
And squelch my fears, and my doubt that what I wrote was actually poetry.

	If I die tomorrow, I go satisfied,
Fulfilled by friends I have only met on paper,
		Best friends who send me SoupMall,

Friends who have 
	Embraced my soul, and lifted me with the purest love.	
		Thank you.  Your energy is appreciated with awe.
