Souper Tuesday

Happy Souper Tuesday
To my buddies on the Soup!
Despite our different backgrounds
We’re united as a group.

We put our thoughts in writing
Hoping other souls will read,
Acknowledgement the one reward
We really want or need.

If we could meet in person,
Very few of us would bond
And not because we’re states away
Or even ‘cross the pond.

Yet that’s the beauty of a site
Where we can feel at home,
Brought together by the notions that
We craft into a poem.

So here’s to Souper Tuesday
Where there is no need to vote,
Just read and maybe comment
On the words somebody wrote.

This is perfectly expressed and the way most of us here on this poetry site feel Ilene. I am so glad to see this honored as POTD! Sorry my congratulations are belated. I was away five days visiting my granddaughters. Carissa turned eight and begged me to come over for her special day. xxoo

:) Your thoughts bring a smile to my heart. Even though we are miles away from each other, it feels like we are in the same room. It feels that way to me, anyway. This is so beautiful and uplifting. Congratulations Ilene, on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy
