Listen to poem:

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 Jinjagoliath 31st August 2023 *Premiere Contest winner* Contest: No 1240 UNPLACED Sponsored by : Brian Strand

Thought I visit one of you older poems Christopher and perfect reading about soup now autumn’s here! Makes you quite hungry reading this enticing poem. 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. Smiles and blessings to you :):)

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.

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 :)
