Searching the early years at soup

Blog Posted by Harry Horsman: 4/20/2020 9:11:00 PM

Spending some time, re-reading my favourite poems list on soup,

came up with this poem from Michael Jordan, some of you will remember him,

he wrote and posted this in 2007. How apt this is for today..

Virus

unseen entities
malevolent in nature
inner-war begins

Michael Jordan. The master of couplets. Wonderful man who I thought should write his life story. So many life lessons he has learned. One of the Greats! Sincerely, Elaine C. George
