"It was prevalent everywhere. Hunger started up from the filthy street that had no offal, among its refuse of anything to eat.  From Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Mission

Word Soup wants to end hunger one poem at a time.  To that glorious end, we are an online poetry journal that solicits well-crafted poems on the theme of hunger.  Imagine "hunger" in all its possible meanings, from physical food deprivation to hunger for love, acceptance, actualization.  Be creative.  Then, send us three to five of your best poems.  The price of consideration is a donation to a food bank of your choice.
