Poets around the world

Blog Posted:8/13/2006 6:44:00 PM

One might ask ,What can we do in a world so full of hate?

Well,there's something we are doing right now.We are internationally

united in our pursuit of one of man's purest endeavors: the fine art of poetry.

Quietly and with little todo,we go about our daily lives interacting with thousands

of poets around the world.

We sincerely care about each other and say so.

We are promoting peace and a higher level of understanding

within our human family world wide.Thankyou Poetry Soup for giving us the

place to do that. Jonji

You are in some ways like a poetical troubadour, not strolling around singing about courtly love, but spreading something much needed in this world. You have a subtle way of addressing issues and expressing anguish. These qualities are what make you great. :) They are just as effective, and leave the reader deep in thought. Very nice Johnette.

My dear friend, thank you. This made me cry. Always, you know just what to say, my heart just hurts. I will indeed keep you posted. Thank you for helping me feel better - I never thought of it in this light. You are loved, j
