Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

What Poetry Soup Means To Me

What Poetry Soup means to this old duffer

Now let me see where do I begin

First of all, the very first thing I do each morning

Is to log on to the site and check out who's there

Now that's even before my first cup of java

Next I post usually two of my most recent poems

I can't seem to type fast enough these days

Don't want to lose my train of thought

Then it's coffee time and I hurry back to check out my inbox

And what do I find... others obsessed poets just like me

First thing every morning and last thing every night

Obsessed? Possibly! Worried? Not a bit!

It's a lot better than running amuck through the streets

Three cheers for Poetry Soup

And all the warm friendly people residing here!

Carol Eastman December 10, 2014 at 11:25 AM Dragon 's and my life seems to revolve around PoetrySoup!Oh and a bunch of Christmas Cha-Cha-Cha's! We take Hubby every morning to work then run back after any necessary grocery shopping on the way... Then we check for comments a thousand times a day! Santa Jack inspires us in every single way... Merry Christmas to you and Cathie... And keep Cha-Cha-Cha-ing ... along each day! Jack Ellison December 11, 2014 at 6:53 AM Now you see... this is the reason there's no place like Poetry Soup to hang out! And a Merry Christmas back to you, hubby, and all your gang of creatures! A bunch of love heading your way over the snowy terrain... XXXX
