Sharks In the Soup-Soupers Beware

Soupers beware! This place is dangerous.
There is a shark on loose. But he is a coward.
He goes around pretending be a friendly fish.

Don't turn your back or go into deep waters of
the soup unless you are prepared.

You must beat him at his own game. So that
 “ his  “little” fish costume will start to crumble, 
and you will see him for the shark he is.

Stand in your own truth and “ bite” him with your 
amazing poetry flow.There is no rhymes like yours. 

Your “bite” will send him packing. Now that you
have been warned go into deep my friend.I am 
convinced you will be ok.



Inspired by the Shark In The Water contest.

CayCay Godwin December 18, 2018 at 6:06 PM Hey, I took 'shark' in a complete different direction - a shark that devours time preventing us from reading/writing all we want. I SO ENJOYED your visit, was most good to see you and visiting you via your comments. Thank you. I think your effective write is what might be desired and you laid it out with optimism and encouragement - that's excellent. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Jan Allison December 18, 2018 at 4:14 PM I'm writing on a similar theme Alexis, I still see such nastiness going on even today and there is no need for it and the person involved should be ashamed of their actions:-( hugs jan xx
