Sharing Soup Ct

I smiled when I saw the poets
each blessed with a magical seed
Some were lyric and some stoic
each shared a hunger that we feed

Straight from their heart with quill and ink
power with words, they made me think
Some were cryptic and some were bleak
others sad, and caused tears to leak

When I saw the poets, I smiled
a magical seed, each blessed with
Some stoic, some were lyric and
a hunger that we feed, each shared

Talent is joint within this group
Nourished and fed from sharing soup

Hey Mark, Great poem and message my friend. As I said to others, it's prob my fault for not explaining the contest well enough, but unfortunately the format was a little off. (my apologies) Anyway, thanks for entering my contest and Congratulations on your placement. Hope all is well...Charlie

Thanks Jenna! It was not an easy task for either. It took me way out of my comfort zone. It took me longer than anything else I have written
