Ode to Soup

Next on my World Poetry Day-a-thon, the topic is soup.

Homemade

Broth is love.
From the bones of a chicken
Comes a new beginning,
A seasoned pot of potential.
What will we add to make it new?

Garlic, potatoes, cheese, thyme,
Milk, pepper, love.
Combine and stir.
Heat until good.

It needs tasting,
It needs more.
Baby it,
Then leave it alone.
Make it hot, make it cool,
Let it breathe.

It will be soup
When it's ready to be soup.

Waiting.
Worth it, but hard.
I'm giving birth to soup.
It starts with broth.

You're thinking it, you may as well type it. The only comments you'll regret are the ones you don't leave. Also, replies to threads make puppies grow big and strong.
