" I am posting this as its one from a past life that was deleted when I was banned from Soup, wrongly accused of bullying someone. I wont be around much longer and this was one of my favorites. To all those that believed me and stood by me, thank you, I will remember you til the end." The poet There’s a little log cabin, nestled by a big, fir tree. It’s the place that my daddy built, before there was me. It’s the warm cosy place, the place where I was born, He made a little wooden cradle with carving to adorn The colorful wooden blocks daddy made when I was one He would pile then up for me to knock them down, such fun. There was a little rocking chair daddy made when I was two He made a bigger one for mummy and one for him too When I was three he made a wooden doghouse for my new dog The dolls house he made when I was four was made from just one log. I was five when he made a tire swing hanging from the big fur tree My daddy went away to be with the angels and forgot to take me. And he didn’t make me anything when I was turning six We moved into a big house that was all made out of bricks We couldn’t take much stuff, mum said we had to travel light I miss my little dog and toys and tire swing, it just doesn’t seem right but most I miss my daddy, I need him here with me I'll be very good and when he comes home he will see Mum said he is making stuff for the angels now But he left all his tools behind, so I really don’t see how. ~Fiction~

Sorry for the late response Suz, I am just seeing this now. My new venture did not inspire me (or my husband). A niece kindly set up a studio in our house for us but it really isn't something we enjoy, maybe because neither of us are good at it. There is no contact with the outside world ~ I lasted a week without writing a poem, but was thinking of lines to write as I slapped paint . Thanks for your lovely comment.. I guess Soup and its members are stuck with us.

Your eternal poems will always be in my heart. I hope you are equally successful with art. I'm sorry to not be able to read you anymore. Thank you for sharing your genius.

What a special comment, dear Hilda. Your lovely words have lifted my spirits so many times, thank you hardly seems enough. Please find another that needs encouragement and offer the uplifting graces you have endowed me with over the last few months. It honestly makes a difference to a heavy heart. I thank you.

You will never be totally gone my dear friend. Your muse will call, as will ours call to yours. Perhaps your paintings will inspire a write or two. ;) Merry Christmas to you, Merry and family and a very blessed new year!! :)

So many nice things about soup, it almost outweighed the treachery, but not enough to make it bearable any more. I have gained much wealth, in true friends like you Laf, and I assure you that the inspiration of your fun and friendship will be reflected in anything creative that I do. A simple thankyou is hardly enough. Luv Wen
