Notes About The Poem

What Poetry Soup Means To Me Poetry Contest. ~  Sponsored by: Tom Woody

What Does Poetry Soup Mean To Me???

What Does Poetry Soup Mean To Me??? 
This may seem like an easy question,
expecting an easy answer.
I find each writer,
writes for different reasons.
Each writer is looking for something different,
wanting their needs met.
Poetry Soup is a pot where we all come together,
to express our creativity and imagination.
We can make friends,
and get help with our writings.
Contests gives a writer a chance,
to learn and grow.
No one is perfect,
I do not want to be judged so I will not judge others.
Poetry Soup has let me grow as a writer,
and find friends in other parts of the world.
Poetry Soup,
I want to say Thank You....
