True folks,
True folks have no colours.
When I hear about true folks,
My heart beats like a silent african drum.
My body moves to hug them.
There is always happiness to swim
With true folks in African rivers
Drinking pure waters.
There is much trust to share
Important knowledge with true folks.
Remember, where the truth controls ,
There is always freedom.

Massachusett's Willianm Cullen Bryant
The first 'All American' poetic giant;
with verses in 'American English'
Focussed the new nation's eyes
as his poetry became widely recognised.
Bryant(1794-1878) found fam with 'to a Waterfowl' & 'The Prairies' & also helped lay the
foundations for 'American' poetry as well as creating Central Park NY
Carolyn
Cares about other people
Actively writes poetry and novels
Reads and comments on a lot of poems on Poetry Soup
Open-minded and understanding
Likes to fish and enjoy life
Yearns to understand and follow God’s will
Notices and nurtures talent.

Poetic form: Name
Ive just joined a group called poetry soup
A troop of writers , Ney intellectual fighters
They lay themselves bare , Pray you care
To take the time , read there rhyme
and ask them the question
What inspired there direction
Enquire if poetry has salvaged there soul
or has it just papered over the hole
Because we've all been tainted
had our integrity painted
In a light that displeased us
Thankfully humility cleared us
To have another go
Get on with the Show
For the actors need words
Otherwise they cannot be heard
