Reading On the Soup
Not quite disciplined to view every day
periodically, I stagger on the soup site to play
with random running thoughts to what I might say
but first
I scroll the newest entries down the page at bay
pondering both name and title on display.
Method happy and haphazard I begin to read
significant and meaningful poems that cry and bleed
or humorous and fun limericks to feed my need,
then names known well and also those unknown
I pick and chose to make them feel at home
and the emptiness once felt now tells me I am not alone.
Then i steal fast back
to check the poets that I track
and read their entries with subtle cries or laughs
it's a pleasant creative moment that grows
encouraging and commenting on my woes
as I read the soup alive and well in its poetic throws,
