Notes About The Poem
What Poetry Soup Means To Me Poetry Contest, Sponsored by Tom Woody. Date written: 02/17/2026
The Fertile Ground That is Poetrysoup
I come
to Poetrysoup,
Because this is where
The tallest trees of poetry
Grow and thrive;
Season in, season out.
Her fruits always ripe for the picking.
It is a poet's Xanadu. Well, mine, at least.
I come
to Poetrysoup
To plant my own seeds,
Water them and fertilize the soil.
'Tis a welcome diversion from
The hustle and bustle of my everyday life.
It's my safe space to explore, to discover, to create...
And boy, do I have creative wings to soar!
I come
to Poetrysoup
To sip her mouthwatering soup
Served daily by the finest poets she has to offer,
Known and unknown. I've read and sponsored
Literary masterpieces too numerous to count;
Many bringing a chuckle, a tear, or two.
Her flaws are sizeable, but I overlook them.
I come
to Poetrysoup
To learn from superior poets,
To read poetry and support other poets,
To touch, and be touched by,
To inspire, and be inspired by,
To inhale the aroma of poetic brilliance.
My home away from home...
That's Poetrysoup!
