To All Soupers

When I was growing up
I fell in love with something
what it was, I couldn't figure,
I just knew it was in books
Years passed by and it started
falling into place.
And I discovered it is when I put
these puzzles called alphabets
into what I could think of and make
poems out of it.
Then I found 'poetry soup'
And I found friends borders away
from me I have never spoken to,
for every puzzle of alphabet I arrange to make poems
they are there to encourage me
and spice me up with kind words.
So I found what I have loved in books,
And to every souper that has encouraged me
to keep arranging the alphabets to become poems
Thank you.
I hope you all find the love you have always been looking for.
And if you have, I hope it never goes away.
                        
                       From a souper
                       To all soupers
