Best Holidaywords Poems
In early spring I found you on Poetry Soup
A haven where wordsmiths congregate to recoup
Some sense of sanity in a world filled with grief
Your friendship, dear Highlander, has brought much relief
Being new to writing, I decided to try
So I joined the Soup, and a name caught my eye
Carolyn Devonshire, was the name in question
Her guidance has taken me to a different dimension
Who'd know the Soup would bring a Scottish writing mate
It was our destiny; now I believe in fate
A braveheart's pen paints history and mystery
Erasing fear and lifting me from misery
No sooner had I arrived beautiful comments were received
My writing was enjoyed and I now started to believe
An American lady has become a soul mate and teacher
Her words of kindness enhanced my words to be featured
So much loss I'd incurred just before we met here
Never had I dreamed of finding a comrade so dear
He reached across the sea and took me by the hand
And together we've escaped to fantasy lands
Before the Soup, I posted somewhere else
If you were not one of them you were left on the shelf
But the Soup's beach babe led me by the pen
I was absorbed in her circle right there and then
James and I propose a toast to many Soup friends
Whose talents are displayed here again and again
Too many great writers to mention each one's name
A new year comes as you enter our Hall of Fame
Happy New Year from James and me to all of the Poetry Soup Family!
