The Souper Integrity: Truth in Every Verse
Thou who would bear the name of truth-teller,
Reverberate the sound of truth with words of flame
That the gen’ral mind daren’t whats’ever.
And set forth a heart of righteousness unrestrained.
Neither friend nor acquaintance matter not,
Thy words thou shalt heed and to thine own self be true.
For only hyp’crits utter without thought.
And the awareness of mind thou art

You're a soupster, I'm a souper, Let's make Poetry together!
I'm a soupster, and you're a souper too
We write from the heart, with a passion anew
In this world of words, we find our place
Together we'll create, with a smile on our face
With every line, a piece of us we share
Our thoughts, our dreams, our hearts we bare
As soupsters united, we'll make our mark
Leaving a legacy,

Souper Warriors
Souper Warriors ride on steeds they call Muse
Defeating enemies with words they choose
There steeds take them where the wind blows
Word warriors whose poetry grows
They battle mythical beasts in lands far away
Wielding metaphoric swords on their prey
Sailing oceans, riding the storms
Each adventure brings new forms
They battle

Poetrysoup gives in plenty the literary opportunity

Sensual poetic passion of soupsters enriches the mind,

SouperTroupers
SouperTroupers that’s what poets are
Writing away, everyone a star
Having fun when their muse is on fire
Until they have filled their heart’s desire.
Some write odes to the love in their life
Others write of their troubles and strife
Poems about nature and all things nice
Or of romancing beneath moonlight.
Poets write to delight and entertain
Never asking for fortune

SOUPER NOVA
SOUPER NOVA
I had never thought it was a community
As I just entered contests with impunity
But across all the cultures, there’s unity
Unique angles offered from each nation
As a regular vistor, I sought inspiration
But in the end, both discipline and fun
From supportive critique, no immunity
But for poetry, always an opportunity
Even when it has challenged credulity
Both left and

A Souper called Sara Etgen-Baker
My dear Souper Sara Etgen-Baker
tastes bittersweet moments.
Sweet, because she's riding
on a beautiful horse
to be a number one.
Bitter, because she doesn't
have the same time
to spend in the PoetrySoup
with her brothers and sisters.
We've already missed you
my Texan friend,
you must know.
Let me give you my advice
my dear friend:
Ride well on this race
that life

Poetry Souper
My collection of poems I've shared with you.
To Poetry Soup I am grateful it's true.
We all put down thoughts with paper and pen
Or is it, " type on computer" so as not to offend ?
With a network like this my mind is amazed
We've all something common, just in different ways.

Souper Brand of Brian Strand
I shoulda seen it comin’ my way -
The Judgment Day
Bears the brunt of judging as gold
Rakes piles of entries, old and new
Insists - "completely up to you"
As long as you do as you're told
Note, read the blog to make it through
Submissions, like lava, pour in
Tempting many soupers to win

Boxed Souper
"I now wish I had your eyes...it wasn't yours, it never was." By the poet.
Still...
There have been a few too many,
I take into account,
those flatteries, good and plenty,
...that spurt, I do not doubt.
Cause and effect make the river stream flow,
Upward or downward and what beats the path,
Pleasant repertoire or a

If Shakespeare Was a Souper
Each morn when the alarm says it's time to get up
To my Mac I rush to before pee
To see who's commented on my silliness poems
It's a good thing this option is free
Pretty damn sure paying a few extra bucks
Comments would be fairly rare
Let's all be realistic, my very good friends
Paying would make us not care
If
