Poetrysoup Unites
I’ve said it many times before, and so I’ll say it one time more -
the many reasons which brought me right here to this community.
I was persuaded by a friend to come here, for it was the end
of a poetic family I’d loved called Shadow Poetry.
My husband never liked to read my poems. I realized I need
a way to show my meager art and let the whole world see my heart.
The other reasons I’m here too I’m sure are just the same for you.
I love to write, so came to find the poets who are of like mind.
Although no single site can be the Holy Grail of poetry,
Soup’s International, and there are folks from almost everywhere!
For friendships found here who are dear is one more reason I am here.
I like the blogs, the comments and the contests. They are often grand!
At times we see a fight or two. That’s life; I shrug. What can we do?
I’m here inspired by contest themes- friends, their poems and writing dreams!

(the rhyming is internal, so I will just label this as verse)
