To All Our Poets True

When I sit still and calmly read the works of Poets True It is nice to know I'm not alone because of all of you There are stories being told here in such different forms and ways We have happy times, some joy and pain, and some for special days There are some who write in Haiku, there are those who love Quatrain We have those who write sweet Sonnets telling us about the rain But we also have some Poets True who write as though they sing With a Rhyme Royal or Limerick that will cause your ears to ring How about the Free Verse Poets and the Funny Poets too Those Acrostics and the Metaphors that can help the sun shine through There are Ballad Poems and Lyrics truly wonderful to find And the Epic Poems and Tanka's that will stir things in your mind On a quiet night with softened light we'll read an Ode or two Or a Villanelle or Couplet that someone has shared with you What about those Nature Poets who can rhyme about the Earth How the flowers grow in colors even different kinds of dirt We have those who write of waterfalls; and sounds that fill the air; Of deep mysteries and great mercies that reveal how we should share Some are Kyrielles and Kwansabas that find their way to you Those Alliteration Poets can help you think of things to do We have Poets True from nations far that share the things they see There are dreamers here with mighty words that say we can be free We read Love Poems so sweetly said they cause your heart to melt They will talk of Love lost or Love found that's truly deeply felt Well, I could go on forever speaking of the Poems found Here on Poetry Soup with you and these true treasures that abound But I guess I'll stop and thank you all for sharing what you do And I'll say right here that we are blessed - We all are Poets True!
