Present

Obliged by my soul's desire to bask in each moment. Flares of streaming brilliance nourish and balance my fortitude. Joy tugs the breath caught in a less inflated self. Awake, alive, and alert at the boardroom table of my life.

As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :) Drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish.

Stephanie,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Linda, Wow...I'm moved by your support and kindness. I certainly welcome all constructive criticism and look forward to any insight you offer. I'm a new author in this life and fancy myself a sage in my last. My recent dreams have compelled me to seek a like minded community of poets such as yourself. I look forward to reading your works and again, thank you for your gracious welcome. Steph
