Poetry Soup Heroes

I can’t remember quite her name
Or what the reason for her fame,
Why she stood out tall and proud,
In this game of poetry out loud

And then there’s him, a should’ve 
Been, often read but seldom seen,
He hides his name with this or
That, is he thin or grossly fat?

We’ll never know these hidden 
Bards, who hide their names with
Fibs or cards; how silly to remain
Unknown, when talent such as this 
Is shown

So whose my hero in the soup
Individually, in pair or group?
If I knew I’d tell you plain,
How odd to hide your given name

7/11/15  Names?..him or her, or so and so, I’m sorry Catie I do not know.

Ha, I like this very much. I think, we all have a reason for it. I'd hate for poets to call me by my real name. I like using my sisters name sometimes, lol, then she got mad. Anyways, my nickname is Siddy. But I like going with SKAT... Cheers to whoever they are. SKAT

A fun little mystery, but it goes to show how frequently a poet comes into our live, inspires us, muses us, and drifts away..and do we really even know them behind the mask of an avatar.
