Poetrysoup Collective Odyssey

Poetrysoup collective odyssey 

If ??

Popularity,  Adulation, Admiration 
&
Affirmation 

Are what you are seeking 

Then I fear you best look or seek solace elsewhere 

For a True Poet doth care more about 

Inspiring other's than recognition 

A Silent Odyssey 

Performs Louder 

Rises far above Self Promotion 

Ever can or could or should 

Humility is the Written Miracle 

The Pen is the Wand

And the force of spirit is strong 

Within the collective 

We call Poetrysoup

Trooping the Light Fandangos

Sara Kendrick April 17, 2019 at 11:43 AM Enjoyed reading your work. I enjoy reading some poets who have gone on to meet their reward and I can't tell them how much their work touched my mind, heart, and spirit but it would be nice to do so. I enjoy reading some still alive who post on many sites but this one has in the past been the best at uplifting, reading one of my works when I read one of theirs. On some sites to post a poem one has to read so many poems and comment before the poet can post. Sad that people don't want to read Christopher Flaherty April 19, 2019 at 4:17 PM Bouganvillea took on a very sad dark meaning after my second read. Both touched me and hurt me I can't find reason in others pain and misfortune. There is always someone worse off than you is little comfort I feel and pity doesn't rectify the situation. Cheers be well Christopher Flaherty April 19, 2019 at 4:10 PM Yes it is sad that some people don't want to read Sara . Quid pro Quo if that is right or as they say. To read is to be inspired or question one's point of view Sara Kendrick April 17, 2019 at 11:44 AM other poets work in return for the gift of that poet reading their work. Thanks for re-reading "Bougainvillea". Sara
