Reflections Over a Cup of Soup

These three things I have learned today,
no, not just one or two;
The lessons here I have to say
came while I Souped with you.

Real friendship gained has great value
there’s pleasure in it too;
though I expect not all of you
would want my friendship, true?

Another thing I’ve learned is that
when in doubt learn to ask -
‘Tis better to have known the fact
than make a big faux pas.

And still there’s that third lesson here:
Though one thinks he has class,
Soupers will know if not sincere
and be after his a$$.





*To all Soupers, this is not a slam, just having a blast with the gang!

Just found myself reading your poems. Though simple in it implications, the message itself is resonating up in its highest volume. Been writing poems since 2002 but just recently, I redeveloped my craft and evolved into what I am today. Seeing myself unto you so keep it up and enrich that talent you have. Cheers! ~screwster

As newcomer to PoetrySoup, it is interesting to feel my way into the poetry that is posted here. For the most part I love strong rhythm and rhyme and this poem has both... very enjoyable :)

Witty, observing, didactic! Excellent interlude to the Soupers! Welcome to the club that as any other club has all kind of people. Since though you learn so fast, you are not going to make a faux pas! Enjoyed it my dear friend, Kim!

Nice orientation to the Soup, thanks for sharing. Yes sincerity is key to everything, no need to pull punches or obscure truth. I can't see how anyone can write anything but the truth.
