Our community builders make all this worthwhile .
The poetry , prose and each new writing style
Encouraging compliments ; offering praise 
Will guide writers home , thro' life's lonely maze .
We've got Sharon and Sandra , they know what to do .
And Kristin is now ,the...

The One who remains Silent speaks volumes in his words-
while dear John Hamilton reminds me of my faith when unheard.

Sweet Sandra expresses great heartfelt depth in her rhymes-
while the lovely Eve's pen creates magical sunshine.

Lovely Alexis never ceases to amaze me with her adoration-
while Robert...

upon faith strength, prevailing

With the Lord propping your zest
patience you show by love’s best
steadfast though challenges test
praying for progress that’s blest. 

Life builders … such a great role
to raise kids well is your goal
mentoring to...

A single poppy blooms by the lake shore.
I can tell you how it came to be there.
Oh, I did not plant it, or give it care.
I knew the man who did and what it’s for.

Some men builders, others are destroyers.
Destroyers identified by this trend,
Nothingness and...

TWIN    BUILDERS


Took a break  from  years of research
And worked  in a  small town building a new church.
Local priest there resembled  me, so they said.
Old ladies in the post office would stop dead
And tell me about their addict-son...

Who ever declared you cannot?
Is a full blown, liar I promise you.
In their lives, they failed at some task.
And now?
The unmitigated gall, to drag you
into heartbreak row?

Do not buy losers' stories!!
To those with fortitude and gall ~
Comes an entirely, different story!

One where there was loss...

Kingdom Builders

Holy Holy Holy I must say to all.
Long day hard day I am with you.
Hot day cold day it is for me too.
Days months or years you I call.

You have displayed my visual doll.
Multitudes of truth seeds you grew.
Spoken for as spoken...

House built on a rock

will stand midst the elements,

on sand, it will fall.

For Milton I’ve nothing but praise
His comments lift me like sun rays

She is an exceptional bard
Posts ten poems each night
For our joy and delight
I hold her in...

All community builders in the world that is this poetry site
Lend it their own unique color and special, individual light.
Each person gives to Soup's structure, its depth and height
With their reading, comments, competes, blogs and writes.
All builders are a muscle forming Poetry Soup's total might.

Creek Bed, 
water flowing around rocks, 
bubbling through craw-dad holes,
churning, splashing, racing to lower ground,
sloshing about in the mud.

Creek Banks,
tumbling of rocks and dirt,
scratching, crawling to get out of the creek bed,
snapping, ripping of sod from the edges,
clods of earth and grass falling with a...

Great sensitivity only used
to find the next available space
hiding from or dodging the pressure, 
embarking on a fearful race
Just to avoid the necessary, 
clenching its fist to the face
But gradually, it’ll catch up the pace
And begin puncturing
like the perforation of a lace.

every obstacle avoided
germinates a...
