Why Are You Here At Poetry Soup-Contest

Why Are You Here At Poetry Soup Sponsor:Jerry T Curtis Alone with the innate ability to accomplish my passion for writing... months came and left, years flew abroad, no one listened, no one cared, I was just me and my pen, drifting slowly across the lined pages of my journal... I was inspired by happiness and aroused by divine influence... A discovery was made, allowing my expressions to be revealed. After the summer, I was searching... for outlets and a fellowship of my dreams coming true. I found it, I read it, I loved it. Poetry Soup soared beyond my expectations, there I was, just a baby fascinated about this whole new world of rhyme, free verse and haibuns, and many more forms that I adore. I had been longing tirelessly, searching for a dim lit room, with acceptance and realizations of my true nature. Things I have grown to love about myself, manifestations of the highest degree, and lost reflections had been found. I would have never guessed I could find more encouragement from the poet's I have met through out the world. I was greeted so nicely, I was no longer embarrassed to express my most intimate sensitivities Above the sun, and below the moon, what a treasure I have found... on Poetry Soup.
