I have looked for lots of places where I will be able to post my poems and know they will get read. None have I found where I have been made to feel so instantly welcome. Thank you Poetrysoup.

Poetrysoup It happened quite accidentally As if by chance, this anomaly I did not know how it could be That here is where I’d post my poetry A poem I had written today Remembering World War One Day I’d written what I’d had to say Not too long winded as is my normal way It seems so strange as I recall How I did through google trawl Fishing for a place I’d call A library for my poems all And there it was among them all Poetrysoup as I recall “What a strange name” I thought out loud As its name just seem to stand put proud I opened the site and what surprise Myriad Poets and poems before my eyes Like a child I clicked from “room to room” And voraciously did verse consume People read our verse and comment some Each and every word all welcome What a friendly affable lot This worldwide kitchen in one pot At last, a place to call my own Along with others for their poems’ home This meeting place; this PoetrySoup Makes me feel so cock-a-hoop

I definitely had to stop by and read one of your first poems on Soup, Thomas....and I'm positively impressed. Looks like we both joined in the same year (2014) and lots of water has flowed under the bridge since then! I hope your opinion re Soup has stayed the same. ~ Regards // paul

Well hello, Thomas! I am a late bloomer here posting my comment, and I've been here since Oct. 2013. A great tribute, written to all of the PoetrySoup™ members, I believe is safe to say. This place is grand place to me, and lately, met some awesome writers/poet's. I welcome you many years after your posting. Looking forward to reading and becoming more familiar with your writing, and knowing you as well. God Bless and bid you well. Best of Wishes, William

How Thomas: Welcome to the Soup where everyone's a poet in their own fever. I enjoyed your heartfelt Dad poem. Please read my fathers day poem when you have a chance.
