The Soup Convention Dream

L.A. moonbathing Soup convention is haunted Ghost prowls through bedrooms Scripca leads the search party Sheet falls down, Ruben is found For Michael’s “Tanka me a Dream” contest By Carolyn Devonshire *Actually did have a crazy dream about a Soup Convention in Los Angeles last year. Barbara Gorelick, Iolanda Scripca, Karen O’Leary and I were “moonbathing” on a resort balcony (like Morticia Adams would). We heard about a ghost that was going through Soup members’ rooms and Iolanda bravely led the charge to find the ghost. Barbara and I joined her, but Karen chose to keep moonbathing. When I posted a blog on the dream, Ruben Ortellao said it was he who had been the ghost. It was fun reliving this crazy dream.

A delightful fun poem which I chose lured in by the title, Carolyn. You wrote this poem about 3 years before I joined Soup...I'm delving that back in time to find poems of yours which I had missed. ~ Hugs // paul
