Notes About The Poem
My excitement at the beginning of my PoetrySoup journey was uncontained. As I look back at some of the early poets who encouraged me to post my work, I wonder what became of them. I miss the inspiration of their poetry and the engaging spirit of their comments. Maybe I have changed but I have lost my enthusiasm to participate in this site. I still love poetry but am reluctant to share the heart of my poetry. I, occasionally, use the contests for inspiration and peruse the new poems section. Maybe I will write a poem about how I have changed since my first introduction to PoetrySoup.

PS - I Love You
As I peruse the poetry
and look with awe on all I see,
my mind and eyes need a rest,
for Poetry Soup is greatly blessed.
To speak your mind in verse and rhyme
is often hard and takes some time.
A poet is a special breed;
writing poetry fulfills a need.
You breathe the life into your poem;
it's measured on life's metronome
and stands alone for all to judge
while members offer a friendly nudge.
Support from our cyber family
increases our confidence and ability
to say the things we keep inside.
Our deepest thoughts, we cannot hide.
If I only stay a little while,
it's long enough to make me smile.
I love you all and what you do,
Just wanted to say a quick 'thank you'.
My hunger pangs have been appeased.
I'm full as well as very pleased
but I'll return another day.
You know I cannot stay away.
