Robert Johnson Poet Narrative

Poetry Soup Is a Nice Neighborhood

Poetry soup is filled with people who have no other motive but to enjoy each other and just be kind. Sure, just like life, one or two throw in a gripe or two. But you know that they enjoy the kindness too. It's funny, I'm not being poetic. I'm just grateful to have such a place to come to where I know I will be treated nicely. I only hope that it doesn't go the way of lulu and leave us to find a new home. So much unreconciliation and loss of friendship. Poetry Soup is a bit of a life line to many of us. It gives us a place to be heard. So thank's to those of you who have extended yourselves in my direction. It helps me to make it through my day. Take care.

Debra Squyres January 20, 2012 at 5:20 AM I'm reminded of "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" as I read this. I too have found the Soup neighborhood delightful and a place to share without criticism. It's also a lovely place to be in the mornings with my first cup of coffee !! Lovely narrative. Debra Squyres January 23, 2012 at 2:56 PM It was nice to see you drop by my page once again.

Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2012 at 7:30 PM this is sweet as can be and very true, Robert. A suggestion. I'd label it narrative instead of free verse. Good luck in the contest. it's always nice to see you here. Andrea
