Simple Soupers

They are kids and kings from poetic places
Wooing wealthy words with friendly faces
Their pens and pads filling saintly spaces 
They are brains and brawns from right races

They croon with curiosity, creativity
They ring in rhymes and rhapsodies
They pen poems for pride and posterity
They move with marvelous melodies

Simple soupers, daughters and sons of sages 
Sincere soupers painting passionate pages
Serious soupers, printing proud passages
Simple soupers… strolling with sincere sages
