What Poetry Soup Means to Me
If the sun shines on me or if it rains,
if I'm together or falling apart,
on PoetrySoup, I unload my brains,
on other days, unload my hidden heart.
Some days my judgment slowly starts to slip.
I then write on politics, I admit,
or try to get a laugh and lose my grip,
but here, no one calls me an idiot.
The sisters and the brothers on the Soup
who reveal thoughts and feelings in their words
comprise a supportive communal group,
lifting spirits, as from the wings of birds.
Poets like roses, each have their own name,
each different, but yet, each one the same.
