See Ya In Heaven

Having trouble keeping an active brain Is it poetry that's kept me alive Poetry's a major activity that's filled my void Ten long years since I retired Owe my well being to this wonderful site Anxiously checking my inbox To see who's sent me these glowing responses Check it before putting on my socks Addicted, I'd have to say that's true But life would be quite boring without it You people boost my ego every day Might survive but I really kinda doubt it So on my tombstone they'll probably inscribe He died in an extremely poetic way His last words rhymed as they closed the casket “That's all I have to say today”

Not planning to but we don't actually have a say in the matter! Plan on hanging around for a while though! However I don't make the rules!

Bravo, Jack. Well said and inspirational words. I think many here on Poetry Soup share your sentiment. Many people of the 'older' persuasion find purpose, validation, and camaraderie on the site. I have to admit that this 'older' gal is a wee bit addicted. Enjoy your Sunday, hugs, Sara
