Christopher Grieves Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

31.08.2023 - Soup Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori

Listen to poem:

Soup

It's liquid love
A favourite glug
A bowl, a cup
Perhaps a mug

When Winter calls
With icy breath
Some steamy joy
Puts cold to death

With hands enclosed
Around this pot
Enticing fluid
Nice and hot

Tomato, mushroom
Hard to choose 
Or leafy green
Asparagoos

A steamy broth
Like joyous sea 
Soft stilton paired
With broccoli

A swirl of cream
With pepper grounds
Bobbing crouton's 
Crunchy sounds

Assault the senses
From all sides
In super soup 
My heart resides x

Soup is definitely good for the soul - one of my greats is leek and potato! Love the last stanza is particular. Hope you post again shortly. Enjoyed this one.

David Smith September 5, 2023 at 7:31 AM Great ode to the winter dish that sets the tone for warm thoughts. We had soup during covid made from vegies in our garden. When food is scarce soup will always save the day. Christopher Grieves September 5, 2023 at 9:40 AM Soup.. so under-rated. It does warm the soul aswell as the body. I love the idea of the freshest veg possible too, thanks for your appreciation, David :)
