With Hesitation
It was with unease I entered in and opened up the door
I found such a hearty welcome that I could not ask for more.
This little forum I have found is an accepting place.
I could come from any venue, I could spring from any race.
With timidity I posted a short poem I had written
Without a thought that anyone would be especially smitten.
My email started clicking with kind comments my poem
And now for years I’ve nestled in my Poetry Soup home.
It’s a little haven, where we claim no one to be inferior.
There’s not a hint from anyone, she thinks herself superior.
Or it could be that’s she’s a he, in here we all are equal.
But that’s another story, I’ll just have to write a sequel.
