What Poetry Soup Means To Me

Hearty haiku pumpkin squash comforts
 Flowery senryus fill my prism bowl perennially 
For poets' hungry hearts who crave and share, 
  It’s creamy chowder congenially
Addictive from the first taste with inspirational flavor,
  Aspirations of desire, longing colorful bites, I savor
Romantic rich bisques have me sighing with the saucy sonnet
  Bursting is a cheesy limerick, with Blue Bonnet on it
Buttermilk noodles tossed and soupy
  Diverse free verse, I’m a groupie
But as you know there is no such thing as a free meal
  What’s stressed musters up expressions I feel
When metaphors thickened, stirred in, I'll pour
  I loved, I lived, I sipped lyrics with many   
Favorites and treasures plenty in the soup d’ jour

Dear Anaya, such a delight! I love how you move from one poetic form to the next as if you’re tasting your way through a comforting meal, each image richer than the last. The energy is warm, inviting, and full of joy. You really captured the spirit of this place and the way creativity feeds us. Beautifully done. Blessings, Anaya Daniel
