The Grandfathers Of PoetrySoup
I hit post and send my words
into this busy, glowing website
where I’m fifteen, the youngest voice,
surrounded by grandmothers’ stories
and grandfathers’ quiet smiles,
moms who cheer me on
and dads who nod like it matters.
I don’t mind being the baby here
your words feel softer than home.
You read my late-night poems,
drop comments like warm blankets,
and make me feel safe
when

Poetrysoup
I found my muse
And added a pinch of euphony
A lilting dash of beauty
And wafting cup of imagery
I stirred in two tablespoons of fauna
and sprinkled a half cup of Flora
I boiled a gallon of rain drops
Cooled my creation for five minutes
And ladeld my secret family recipe
into a large bowl
Presenting my favorite poetrysoup

Through the

Twas the Night Before Christmas in PoetrySoup
Twas the night before Christmas…
…And I finally sat down,
After last minute shopping, running all over town.
Deciding to rest now, I opened my phone
To visit the Soup and read a few poems.
As soon as I pulled up the soup’s website,
My home disappeared in a brilliant white light!
Suddenly I was in a large

I BREATHE POETRYSOUP
I breathe PoetrySoup, a haven for literary freaks;
A wordsmith's furnace, where inspiration peaks.
Elysium in essence, fueled by epiphany;
Tales and fables create a vivid symphony.
Verbal ammunition, ready to depart—
A mindful escape from a mundane start.
"Poem of the Day" reveals a novel theme,
Honoring enthusiasts and their unspoken dreams.
"Poetry contest", coaxing fledgling bards;
Soupers raising the bar, metaphors in

Soupster Symphony
In the quiet of my restless nights,
My poems waited, hidden from the lights,
Each word, a piece of my heart,
But where to start?
The struggle felt like endless fights.
Burdened and lost, I wandered in doubt,
Searching for a place to let my soul shout,
On a fateful day,
In a serendipitous way,
I typed “Free entry Poetry Contests” and found my

He's candid and curt
