(Click for Poet Info...)

I was born and still live in the beautiful city called Cape Town in South Africa. My view in the morning includes the magnificent and stunning Table Mountain (Now one of the 7 wonders of the World).

My birthday is on 25 December every year and I self published my poetry book called "Whispers from my Soul" in April 2012.

Writing is just a hobby for me and if someone walks away and are able to identify with what has been said then I am a happy person.

Wilma Neels Poems

OMW!!! It's been a YeAr!!!

Blog Posted by Wilma Neels: 5/31/2011 2:57:00 AM

I cannot believe this!! It's been a year since I added my madness to the "Broth"... There has been a little sadness and a whole lot of madness!!! Mostly laughter and friendship I have found..

A journey of discovery NO DOUBT, somehow I found my little voice in this huge

SOUP Pot..

I am trying to think what lead me to TPS in the first place... hmmm I just remembered, it was boredom at work.. That made me take the leap into the unknown and I have never looked back!!!

Thank you guys and girls for an amazing journey!!!

Ps: HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY Missy Lampshade :)

I heard somebody calling my name and associated it with cake -- hahaha! oh burp! too late again! I just finished off everything!! seriously though I have to bake that carrot cake that I have been planning, being a good friend that I am I will gladly eat on your behalf, also for Caryl's behalf :) heehee

Hey there Caryl, I would gladly share some of my cake with you as soon as I can get Nikko to bake me another one :) Congratulations on your two years and here is to many more sharing and reading each others writing on PS (*-*)

Congratulations Wilma!! Time goes by fast when you're having fun. Do you mind if I have some of you're cake too I let my birthday of two years go by without even the first year celebration. I shouldn't have missed that, I won my first PS contest with my first entry. Poetry Soup has brought out a lot of creative work in so many worldly people. Looking forward to celebrating you're second birthday and reading so much more of your wonderful writings. Caryl
