Yellow Ochre Sun

Hi Andy; I am glad that Peter wrote that poem about you. I am one that had not read any of your poems. I am glad that I read this one. Within your poem you painted a beautiful picture for us to see. I just started writing again for a long time I have been very sick. I welcome you to the Soup. Please stay and you will find out that we are a pretty good bunch. Many blessings .... Lucilla

Robert, nature is the beast and beauty of us all. Mostly I like the crimsonstides before the approach of darkness in which gives us the end of another day that opens up to another beautiful sunrise. Your first poem on the soup is excellent for the readers!! Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. Wishing you the best when it comes to your poems.

Thank you for your kind review, nature is where I feel at home, walking the hills and bogs in Ireland where I was born was such a pleasure as I watched the wildlife in the world around me. I will certainly pop by thank you for your friendship. Andy
