Listen to poem:

Three hundred cans of soup

In three hundred, I pulled without fear,
From my dentition, a grin quite sincere
Clichés serve as my balm,
In the chaos, my psalms
Yet to some; I might seem quite unclear,

With words throbbing back in my head,
I ponder the things that I've said
Did commentation run dry,
As I reached for the sky?
Or am I just tangled in dread?

The gallery, it holds all my grace,
While some think I'm lost in the space
But in laughter and rhyme,
I still bide my time,
In this curious, chaotic embrace!

I am very glad to have this medium in my life. There is so much talented expression to be found here. In every corner of this kettle there's a wonderful ingredient. I figured for my three hundredth poem (on the site). I would try a form that I've never done before. While trying to make a little fun of myself in the process, hopefully the humor comes through. Thank you for the consistent support Paige! Much Love A.S.

Thank you Yann! With every one hundred I write, I try to pay homage to the people that I hold very dear. All of you; on The Soup. Finest regards A.S.
