Notes About The Poem

I have looked for lots of places where I will be able to post my poems and know they will get read. None have I found where I have been made to feel so instantly welcome. Thank you Poetrysoup.

Poetrysoup

It happened quite accidentally
As if by chance, this anomaly
I did not know how it could be
That here is where I’d post my poetry

A poem I had written today
Remembering World War One Day
I’d written what I’d had to say
Not too long winded as is my normal way

It seems so strange as I recall
How I did through google trawl
Fishing for a place I’d call
A library for my poems all

And there it was among them all
Poetrysoup as I recall
“What a strange name” I thought out loud
As its name just seem to stand put proud

I opened the site and what surprise
Myriad Poets and poems before my eyes
Like a child I clicked from “room to room”
And voraciously did verse consume

People read our verse and comment some
Each and every word all welcome
What a friendly affable lot
This worldwide kitchen in one pot

At last, a place to call my own
Along with others for their poems’ home
This meeting place; this PoetrySoup
Makes me feel so cock-a-hoop

I definitely had to stop by and read one of your first poems on Soup, Thomas....and I'm positively impressed. Looks like we both joined in the same year (2014) and lots of water has flowed under the bridge since then! I hope your opinion re Soup has stayed the same. ~ Regards // paul

Well hello, Thomas! I am a late bloomer here posting my comment, and I've been here since Oct. 2013. A great tribute, written to all of the PoetrySoup™ members, I believe is safe to say. This place is grand place to me, and lately, met some awesome writers/poet's. I welcome you many years after your posting. Looking forward to reading and becoming more familiar with your writing, and knowing you as well. God Bless and bid you well. Best of Wishes, William

How Thomas: Welcome to the Soup where everyone's a poet in their own fever. I enjoyed your heartfelt Dad poem. Please read my fathers day poem when you have a chance.
