SouperTroupers

SouperTroupers that’s what poets are Writing away, everyone a star Having fun when their muse is on fire Until they have filled their heart’s desire. Some write odes to the love in their life Others write of their troubles and strife Poems about nature and all things nice Or of romancing beneath moonlight. Poets write to delight and entertain Never asking for fortune or fame Just to know their poems are being read Means such a lot, they feel truly blessed. In PoetrySoup the Soupsters group They’re an amazing, impressive troupe Joining hands across land and ocean SouperTroupers in rhythmic motion.

Charles Dickens defended his ending to Great Expectation, saying he writes to please his readers. So is the subject of your poem. However, I love to write the occasional dark poem to please myself. Blessings.

Dear Victor, us poets do write of dark happenings at times, I find it therapeutic to get negative feelings off the chest. Thank you for commenting and your constant support… Beryl

Dear Beryl, what a beautiful tribute to the Soupers. The title so much reminds me of ABBA SuperTroopers. I have made so many great friends who inspire me and my own writings like you. Blessings, MY Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear poet friend Daniel, thank you so much, I’m overjoyed to think that writes of mine and other poets have inspired your writing, the same can be said of your poetry too. Have to say that ABBA song was on my mind as I wrote this poem… Blessings returned… Beryl
