Thankyou Poet Friends

There are so many Poems 
I wish I could read
So many to choose from
These words on which I feed

Pools of inspiration
A present for my soul
Each piece fits together
Filling in every hole

I am reading so much
I have no time to write
Enjoying my word feast
Delighting in each bite

Time's my limitation
I wish I could stop by
If you do not see me
This is the reason why

So if you forgive me
It's not that I don't care
With so much to choose from
I can't be everywhere

To all my new friends at the Soup, sometimes I feel bad
I do not have the time to visit and appreciate your amazing words.
Please know that I have been touched by so many wonderful 
people here. This is my small thank you to all of you.

Hi Richard, you speak the truth. It's hard when you're bombarded with talent and all you can do is try to choose some to partake of and you end up skipping others -torture. But fortunately you were found. All I can say is -keep up the good work!

I totally understand THIS one. I have the same problem!! btw, on that pill of life. That's why you have to take it with water from the fount of youth. otherwise, you are stuck with a long HARD life instead of healthy one. haha
