Reflections Over a Cup of Soup Ii

‘Tis many days since I have joined this cyber family, some even say my old poems suck, to that I may agree. I struggled then to free my muse to speak more fluently; What got me through, an eager heart to learn with constancy. As I reached out with every poem they welcomed me like most kindhearted ones that read my page and leave comments on posts. I do believe without these men and women who comment I would have stopped posting the poems, full of angst and lament. They all are there, day in, day out, my cyber family. Some are parents, brothers, sisters, some are still like babies We laugh, we cry, we disagree but make up the next day, send notes to friends when they’re absent and then for them we pray. Though now I still am far from great this thing I learned, I’ll share: People will care ‘about what you think when they think that you care. Allow me then to say my thanks, my deep appreciation For stopping by, for your replies and all the inspiration. 21 July 2015 My Cyber Family Contest Sponsor: Mystic Rose image credit: gbb.org

Goodie, I found one to read!!! Sometimes I struggle to find poems to read when I have read a lot of someone's stuff. If you have some poems you really love, let me know. I would enjoy reading the things you wrote that you think are your best. This, for example, is so nice, Kim. And it is a poem to make us feel good inside.

Some are still like babies.... Hahaha awwww this is so sweet, Kim! I love to read your work, dear and I mean to explore some of your older poems posted on here as well. I doubt they suck! Anyway, your kindness and appreciation is so so inspiring. Poetry soup has always been a very supportive group, and you are by far one of the nicest and coolest people on the site! Always, Laura

Great write, Kim. Outside your real family circle, someone came into a circle of friends not allied by blood but stay connected with each other to strengthen a family-like bonding. You will always go with extra touch and attention to be around with your cyber family. Good luck to you in this contest. 7 (^_^) Noel.
