Thank you Linda, for informing me of this great news. I feel privilidged and encouraged that my write was featured poem of the week on the soups front page. JoanMarie Peranteau

Thank you John, for viewing my poem and for your kind and encouraging words expressed to me. I will try my best to allow your encouraging words to help build my confidence in this endeavor. I read your poem, Absolutely Beautiful. Looking forward to reading more of your writes when I have time. Thank you again, JoanMarie

Me as well, I have not been educated as a poet but am learning as I go along. I think it is our spirit that determines if we are a poet not wether or not we follow a certain set of rules. Our ability to express our emotions is of much greater consequence.

Bonsoir Richard, Thank you so much for viewing my writes and your encouraging comments. I appreciate it, however; I'm not sure if I am a poet yet. I'm not educated at all in poetry or creative writing at all, I don't even know what the meanings are to the list of different forms of poetry, and don't even know what form of poetry I am writing..LOL and when reading others writes here on Poetry Soup, I question myself. My writes come from feelings and/or a certain word or expression and I build on it. Are you of French decent, your name is French I believe as is mine.

Thank you Doris for viewing my writes & for the compliments. I have been writing since I was a youngster. Writing my feelings, thoughts, observations, experience of myself or others, even a word or phrase I may hear may trigger me to write, like clay to a sculptor. However, not really sure if it's poetry. I have many writes that I would call lyrics. Wish I knew how to get them into songs.
