SOUP, Poetry without profanity
Poetry is like soup for the soul

The Society of Urban Poets, Inc.
The acronym SOUP was adopted because it suggests a variety of tastes
and textures tastefully mixed together and ending up as a savory dish
that can be appreciated by all.
SOUP is good food all year ’round, not just on a cold winter’s day!
Some of SOUP’s goals are to promote poetic expression
without the use of profanity, and to establish an outlet
for poets to display their works and share their talents and art
with the community and public at large.

SOUP SOUND OFF
What is the SOUP Sound Off?
It is a regular feature of Monday night Open Mic programs.
A SOUP member poses a question to the audience, usually pertaining to a spiritual, social, or political issue of the day.
The audience, whether SOUP members or guests, are then invited to come up to the podium and answer the question, sharing their own unique take and opinion on the situation.
If there's an issue that you'd like to have discussed , please send an e-mail to SOUP OKC.
We value your participation!
