Notes About The Poem
Tom Woody's Contest...19 Feb 26

Premiere Contest WinnerTangy Sips Of Poetry Soup

Slow- fire gleams across the horizon as I gather words from twig-like strips adding creamy broth to stir the brew under a moonlight of summer’s heat … The mellow breeze warms my thoughts where hands pour lemon mint, in a campfire kindling essence of lines for Poetry Soup: then to grasp fireflies brightly adorned until cheeks flush with tales spun nightlong. The purée explodes to drink the light of my muse, her delicacy soaked in potion with a dash of tangy sage to flame verse or rhyme Oh the meal is simple but rich, delicious, releasing a flavour uncommon even to me… a concoction different each time , when a tribe's mix of language , time zone, and blogs heal, excite, and char each sip of soup blended from the heart’s campfire. POTD and 1st prize premier glory

Huge congratulations on your win Your poem is a stunning piece the imagery you used is particularly striking. The way you blended the domesticity of a "creamy broth" with the wildness of "gathering words from twig-like strips" creates a beautiful, rustic atmosphere.

' the meal is simple but rich, ' and ' delicious. ' Yes, in many ways. Each flavor adds a little something to the soup. So delightful to taste. : ) Congratulations Nette, on your win, and on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. : ) Hugs, Brandy

Dear Nette, such a sensory feast. I love how the campfire becomes a gathering place for creativity, and how each ingredient you stir in mirrors the mix of voices and time zones that make this place feel alive. A beautiful, flavorful tribute. Winter Blessings, Daniel
