Lin Lane Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

The Flavor of Soup

watered down soup has lost its flavor ~ the broth is not one to savor

it's over peppered and there's too much garlic ~ sometimes vitriolic

nothing wrong with a little pinch of salt ~ but don't use words to assault

those who post AI should be put in detention ~ maybe suspension

don't ladle me a bowl of soup ~ if it's been tainted, and that's the scoop

Paul Willason July 17, 2024 at 5:49 PM A point so creatively and tellingly delivered...your usual skill on display dear Lin. Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:16 AM Merci beacoup, dear Paul. Your comments are always supportive.

Abdullah Alhemaidy July 16, 2024 at 7:35 AM I love natural ingredients :-) Have a nice day lovely Lin ~ AA Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:15 AM That's the only way to create something tasty. Thanks a lot, AA for your kind compliments.

Tom Cunningham July 16, 2024 at 4:07 AM It has certainly lost its flavour Lin, I think the whole batch should be thrown out and start from scratch, and fumigate the kitchen too. Tom Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:14 AM Aye, tis true, Tom. The kitchen needs a thorough cleaning! Thanks.

Tania Kitchin July 15, 2024 at 1:43 PM Lin, love your monoku's. it's sad that the soup has been so spoiled and tainted these days. Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:11 AM You've felt it, too. It's on a downhill roll lately. Thanks, Tania.

Paula Goldsmith July 15, 2024 at 12:48 PM I loved reading your creative "Soup" Monoku writes to tell a story. Looks like AI is here to stay. A true writer writes because they feel or see something. AI writes because someone makes them write. True Writers Write On... Have a blessed day writing away.................... Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:10 AM Thank you so very much for your thoughts, Paul. You're such a dear poet.

Jay Narain July 15, 2024 at 11:08 AM Nice Monokus. The presence of AI in my soup is worth pondering about. Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:10 AM No AI for me. It sours the soup. Thanks, Jay.

John Lawless July 15, 2024 at 6:34 AM "Waiter, waiter, there's AI in my soup" "Please be quiet sir, or everyone will want some in theirs"...A twist on an old joke concerning a fly in the soup Lin Lane July 19, 2024 at 11:09 AM An old joke but still brings a smile. I think my point was made in my lines, and I'm sure you comprehend my meaning. Thanks, John. Jan Allison July 15, 2024 at 9:08 AM ha ha ha love it John:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison July 15, 2024 at 6:02 AM Agree with you Lin, its pretty sour especially with nasty comments on poems and on blogs. I dont post much these days but as you know I am writing for my book and I miss the old days when soup was FUN! hugs Jan xx Lin Lane July 15, 2024 at 6:20 AM Your sour comment made me thing about Sweet and Sour soup. I guess it's palatable, but only if the sweet is more prevalent that the sour. Thanks, Jan.
