Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Sweet People of Poetry Soup

How can so many sweet people congregate
In only one place at one time
What is it that draws them, money or fame
No, it's the friendships they all find

They're the nicest down to earth happy souls
Nothing but love in their hearts
So proud to be friends with these gentle folks
Makes my days all shiny from the start

Surely owe it all to you sweet lovely people
We chat almost every single day
Friends I've become with such gentle souls
You chase all the grey skies away

Without Poetry Soup my days would be lost
In a sea of nothingness thoughts
About ugly stuff happening around the world
You guys keep our moods way up top 

Thank you P-Soupers from deep in my soul
You give my life real meaning
First thing in the morning until late at night
Reason my face is always beaming

Sarai Virden November 14, 2013 at 4:02 AM Jack, you have made such a loving impact on my life, and to do that from simply leaving comments online is a serendipitous event that makes you wonder just how accidental fate really is. Much of our poetry is a sharing of the deepest level of our lives, so when the kindest souls such as yourself identify and encourage the way you do.... Well, you know <3 loves my friend A precious poem Jack Ellison November 14, 2013 at 6:23 AM Where have you been all my life, dear Sarai??? Whooooa! What a sweetie you are!!! That has to be right up there with the nicest responses I've EVER received! I am so humbled!!!!!!!!! I'd like to say more, but believe it or not, you have left me a blithering babbling idiot! LOL All my love dear friend, Jack xoxoxoxoxoxox

Carol Eastman November 13, 2013 at 10:18 AM We enjoy your company... Without you... Dragon would be in a lonely and less happy place. Your poems stir my imagination, and allow Dragon a lot more freedom... Your's and Cathie's friends... PS. Dragon wants to know if Cathie's let you out of your rooms yet? To play in the sun... Dragon used his fire power to unfreeze the bird bath for me yesterday... Thankfully our birdie friends were only slightly singed... But don't worry... The Mary River Turtles Rescue team, administered first aid... LOL Jack Ellison November 13, 2013 at 11:08 AM Read this to Cathie... says she's fallen in love with Dragon! Says she has enough love for both of us! She was also happy to hear your little birdie friends only got slightly singed! Love kooks! That's why I love both you and Cathie! LOL xoxoxoxox
