Soup Addict

I just can't believe it
I'm addicted to soup
I can't put the spoon down
I continue to scoop

So many flavours
I can't get enough
It's like there's heroin
They put in this stuff

Sure I can quit
Any time I want
But wait a minute
Look at that font

A few more minutes
Perhaps an hour or two
Good thing I kept reading
I got introduced to you

It’s hard to believe I’ve been here for almost 10 years and 2000 plus poems later.

Just like to say, that reading your poems, to me is an education, something i sadly missed out on as a youth.

This lovely piece sums up Poetry Soup completely. It's been my poetry home since 2009. More off than on recently, but hopefully on more as the months progress. Fine tribute to this fine site Richard. Thank you also for your kind comments and my placement in your contest.
