A poem's a treat when it's so sweet.
The words just flow when the heart's aglow.

Now don't be shy to get too high,
For it's nice to hear a message clear.

No fear to make any mistake,
For all is good in the land of could.

I'll just say,' Don't give up.'
For there's a day your poem won't suck.

Why here, this little corner?
What is this place we all gravitate to?
To me, it is living proof, that no-one has to be alone,
Even after years they return,
They’ve hit that wall, they can’t sleep, the midnight oil to burn,
Until they’ve written that verse, that poem,
That one that seems to bring peace, yet, less sleep,
Where perhaps, personal blessings are given,
Important things, thought about to forgive which in turn are forgiven,
And…..There we sit, no longer alone,
Logged in….Putting words together one by one,
The old familiar feeling, welcomed, as it creeps in,
Here….Where hearts can be mended,
Where fragile souls and feelings are tended,
It’s relaxing, stable, comforting,
Its……HOME!

They come in not sure of their welcome
post their words with trepidation
scared maybe of being ignored or mocked
not sure even if they can write at all.

You all know this feeling
once too you were new
if lucky someone held out a hand
gathered you under their wing.

Gave you lots of encouragement
by reading and commenting kindly
Happily you replied and learnt
and you too now welcome the new poets.

Carrying on the tradition
for to greet and comment
brings hope to faint hearted
so as you post remember this.

You were once new and unsure
so hold out your hand in friendship
comment on other's poems
and they in turn will respond.

on Soup we have 3 main greeters Anne Lise Skat and PD
I list below their individual greets

- Hello new member: Gavin - Welcome to P-Soup. - Thank you for choosing to share your poem here with us. - I look forward to reading more in the future. - Have a good time and I wish you good luck. - (Give and receive comments) - / / Anne-Lise :)

just some suggestions each greeter can use their own words
I suggest 3 is a good number it works best if 1 is in the Far East, one in Europe and one in states / Canada
At the same time anyone can still help and encourage
when I first came here the leader board flew so fast that a new poem
would be under the first advert in an hour or so and on to the 2nd page by end of day at latest.

I would love to be able to get more involved but due to running back to back contests on Soup I have little spare time once I have done my own commenting and writing. Yet I have a special place in my heart for CS as it is here I took my first stumbling steps and do look in from time to time

Please all of you make CS a place of welcome and encouragement once more

Loneliness how could it come to this,

Even the flies have wife's,

Lonely nights on an empty pillow,

Hearing nothing but the sound of an empty willow,

Down the well my true love fell,

Hitting her head off the cheating bell,

A knight I stand with sword in hand,

Ready to protect a true woman's hand,

For us to be honest and fair and bear the pain,

Together forever to build a light,

So full of love and pure delight,

That no pain shall ever block our,


Light.

At any time whatsoever
Whether day or night, night or day
There's always some CS blogger
Who is up with something to say

Some post blogs of their very own
Others merely make a comment
Some just peruse to see what's shown
And with viewing, they are content

CS blogging is taking place
All across the entire globe
With no barrier to creed or race
There is no need for any probe

Among all the differing views
There are times when conflicts arise
Such cases, CS mods diffuse
For bloggers here, that's no surprise

So let's all enjoy the blogging
And to the rules be attentive
In the process of so doing
Remember to live and let live

Along this worn out path,
Where many travellers pass,
Into a paradise isle,
It's poetry corner called Santuary.

Some have come and many have gone,
Still members never forget this home,
That's brings many minds together as one,
To share,express,comment and get inspired.

I Ancient Bullman bid you welcome,
Some tips and advice to share,
Give freely your comments and compliments
Coz we all are creatures of expressions.

Come explore different styles and learn,
Just follow your heart and soul,
In this magical place of the world,
Sanctuary is my home and now it's yours .

Let me give you an introduction,
If you are new in Poet's Corner,
It's also fondly known as the Sanctuary,
For we are the multitude voices.

We are creatures of a spectrum of emotions,
Different background,race and colour,
Giving remarks to one's work is voluntarily,
and we are the hearts it's faces.

Remember the joy of sharing,
And also the part of caring,
There is something for everyone,
For we are all and we are one.

Kindness begets kindness,
And no one wants rudeness,
Love and respect for all,
Into this magical poetic hall.
