Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

What Poetry Soup Means to Me

In life's busy race, writing poems keeps me sane, 
If writing is a boon, Poetry Soup's my bane, 
I have many friends here who've welcomed me with joy, 
Then there are some, who leave comments if they enjoy, 
There are others, who never bother with a hi, 
E'en if I read them, they're too busy to comply, 
But despite everyone, my journey has been smooth, 
I've grown as a poet, I think, and that's the truth,
I've received premium gifts, for which I'm grateful, 
I'm glad, PS wellwishers, I have a plateful, 
There have been times when I wanted to quit this Soup 
Due to writer's block. I needed time to recoup, 
But I crave Poetry Soup, I can't quit writing, 
And that's why I'm still here, making soup exciting.

Valsa George February 25, 2026 at 8:06 AM You have expressed your sentiments openly. There are times when we feel like quitting due to reasons many like other responsibilities, occasional writer's block or lack of encouragement. Yet we are more inclined to come back as Poetry Soup has become part of our life. Congratulations on your POTD

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 20, 2026 at 8:35 AM Dear Joanna, you make the "Soup" exciting because you are honest. You aren't just posting polished verses but you’re sharing the reality of the struggle. Thank you for being one of those "wellwishers" who makes my own plate feel full. I’m glad you didn't quit. The community would be a lot more bland without your spice! With warmth and appreciation, Daniel
