Interesting community here in the Soup. I have come to meet some dynamic personalities many of whom are always supportive and made me feel at home. I did not expect this - a family atmosphere. I instantly felt the need to visit the work of others and offer detail in critique of content and technique with the use of supportive language. I am teacher so that is a responsibility I frequently use - just not expecting it in here.
I am appreciative to all of the tremendously talented poets who have befriended me and even added me to their favorite list! I am sure I will get to know others as I continue to explore the art.
