Words of Encouragement

Sometimes you need this from the ones you admire most
The best compliments are from those who are close
High fives can't be given by someone with a closed fist
Commending others isn't something you should resist
Receiving it is like that boost of energy that keep you going
Its a warm sweater when winds of discouragement start blowing
We would never know what a couple of words can do
One day you might need those same words to be used on you
Motivation gives everyone a reason to strive harder or start new
So always give others that extra push with a few lines or two


Premium MemberMy Treasure Box

I fill my little treasure box
With things that people say
Each one a precious tender note
To bring joy to my day

And when life turns from friend to foe
When days are long and drear
I pull each little keepsake out
To fill my heart with cheer

The words you say, the words you write 
Leave echoes in my heart
The sweet resounding dulcet chimes
From me will not depart

For I am one in love with words,
and what each one conveys
The ones that are so genuine
touch me in many ways

So thank you for you gift of words
wrapped up in bows of love
The blessings that these words impart
are what my heart dreams of

There may be

Encouragement

For the possibility

Of a rising fullness..

Yet fullness is

Already present

And may appear as

Arising of the 

Encouragement...



"Live a little, comfort a little, cheer thyself a little."  As You Like It.

WORDS

My pen is poised above the page
What shall I write about today?
My creativity is flowing
There is no way of knowing
I write poetry about anything and everything
Who knows what today will bring?
I am a very emotional soul
Writing poetry makes me feel whole
Words can be happy or words can be sad
Words can bring hope to the worst day you’ve had
Words of encouragement are like a gift
Words can help your whole mood lift
Words are like magic and my pen is my wand
All I can really do is respond
To whatever is inspiring me
And then just let the words be free.

words lacking compassion - love - kindness - encouragement - or optimism are words only silence should suffer - endure - swallow - dissolve - or sustain for such words are dysfunctional and powerful enough to coat lives with false paint


Premium MemberSo Cool To Write

Writing has become for me
such a real favourite pastime
it's brought peace deep inside
no stress to feel ain't no crime

Thinking back to my school days
really like composition writing then
but got no encouragement to pursue
forgot about it just wait for when

That when arrived years later
when a friend said try to write
poetry maybe your vital link
this proved so cool and right

Looking back to pleasure known
gained perspective of beauty indeed
focus eyes on many poetical gems
gain inspiration for words to speed

Premium MemberRhymisa - a Thing of Beauty

There she is with pen in hand
looking for inspiration so bright
what will I write about today
something to inspire I hope I might

Always seeking to help some others
to show they also can do likewise
encouragement and confidence a real plus
for anyone young or old whatever your size

It’s such a beautiful thing to look upon
words put together with lines in rhyme
this indeed is a joy to behold
a lovely sight this hand in prime

Wish we could be like Rhymisa
knows all letters so well able to connect
bringing out such beauty with little ink
she holds the nib so elegant to select

Then the brain cells work so elegantly
selecting exactly words that do fit
this lady sheds her rhyming beauty
to amaze us with such splendid writ

Premium MemberWords of Encouragement

You've given me encouragement every single day,
You have helped me to fly, in your kind and loving way,
You lifted my wings with your wind, so I could see,
Which is more than anyone has ever done for me.

How do I put into words, things that I can never say,
Your words of encouragement are always here to stay,
My love and thankfulness, if I can repay it I would,
I am writing this because only you knew that I could.





This poem is dedicated to my Mom, Janet Deschler.
She is always the "wind beneath my wings".

Premium MemberThe Tongue

The speaking voice is a rare thing
It speaks what is in the mind
With our tongue we speak many things
Whether they be evil or kind

The Bible speaks the truth
Saying with the same tongue
Things spoken good and evil
Such force it brings from our lungs

So many words speaking waste
So few words speaking light
Why oh why can this be?
Needing encouragement in this fight?

Let’s be so very thankful
To have a tool that can speak
Making sure we speak of good
So to build up those of the weak

So use our own tongue
To be sure we do say
Things of comfort and peace
That brings light to someone’s day

She cried, "The whole world is against me!
The whole world hates me!"
I told her, "That isn't true.
Most don't even know you."

Premium MemberWhat - No Comment

What?  No Comment?


I read your latest poem today
     But did not leave a comment
I don’t know what you meant to say
     Couldn’t decode your intent

I wanted to be supportive
     And offer encouragement
Wax poetic with adjectives
     I didn’t have to invent

You’re not the first whose verse I’ve read
     And sat staring bewildered
Filled with an awful sense of dread
     Like theater of the absurd

Mom suggested I say nothing
     If I’d nothing good to say
So to the air my arms I fling
     And go on my merry way

I am always seeking the good
     In every Soup poet’s work
I’d rather stay misunderstood
     Than come off like a cruel jerk

Premium MemberWhite Flowers of Beauty

Within the soul of my experience
Unconscious seeds of tomorrow's joy,
Awaiting the warmth of encouragement
Lay dormant,seeking inspiration's light;
Words,verbs,adjectives,aimless,without form,
Times,past,times present,amalgams of verse
Unshaped,until imagination's birth,
Bursts from the spring of my maturity.

Let
your
talent
flow and grow
as
words
on an
arid world


An encouragement to all PS poets
inspired by your poetry this morning as I read and replied to my PS mail.

Premium MemberMe

It is me 

Don't you see

I could of gone on any site

But God's timing made it right

It is friendship I have found

A kindred spirit in the written word

Encouragement and praise

Truly, an inspiration to me

It must be His plan

To show me wisdom of fellow man

To open my eyes and open my heart

To a new art

He created a poet, so new

And placed me among you

If  the Lord had a master plan

I truly, hope he is my biggest fan
