Demetrios Trifiatis

Greece brought forth a gentle man, a man with wit, who understands. Superior knowledge of languages he has taught. A PHD level, are his brilliant thoughts. You never know his accomplishments, if you talked to him. His humbleness, is deep within. Inspired by God he writes away. His masterpieces captivate. He inspires those that read his posts, and encourages others to reach their goals. His heart brings out his tender love, it comes from God from up above. His love of Jesus he shows each day, his heartfelt poems, do convey. A tremendous following read his writes. He encourages us to do what's right. He writes each morning for you and I, special thoughts that lift us high! He is adored by most. He is our friend. Demetrios God Bless Demetrios 10/17/2015 Dedication to Demetrios Trifiatis Poetry Soup Hero: Catie Lindsay Sponsor

Hi Olive Demetrios deserves this honor. He has written a book with a friend of his from Turkey to try and create a dialogue of peace between Greece and Turkey.. He is always giving of himself. He has written a book if you go to one of his writes you will find where you can order it. I am sure it is a great book if Demetrios has taken part in the writing of it. I will check ou the poem yo wrote on James Fraser. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Sandra thank you Dear. I wanted to honor Demetrios. He is the winner here. A wonderful man who just wrote a book with a friend of his to bring about peace for Greece and Turkey. Doing his part to end the war between the two countries. His writings are like Mona Lisa paintings of Poetry. He has the ability to inspire with his writings. A lot are inspired by God. His heart reflects his writings. Some are of the very best this site has to offer. I'm looking forward to reading his book. I will order it this weekend. I can't say enough about Demetrios he is one of Greece's finest citizens...

I am overwhelmed by the fellowship on this page. You brought 'love' and 'appreciation' together, a united force of good will portraying the best in human nature. Through you, Michael, the power of poems is demonstrated. Through Demetrois, you were inspired and this will go on through others. Being on this page is like being in the comfort of church, to me ...

CayCay you are so right. I love the description you used of being in the comfort of church. Belonging to this page gives you a peaceful easy feeling of joy with your peers. A special place honoring a Man of God and a kindred soul that Demetrios has. Being here with his followers and fellow christian is kind of surreal. Like were all in a special place honoring a special Godly man.

Michael, my friend, when one sees good in others it means that there is good in this person's heart, otherwise he would never have seen it! Likes are seen by likes! I came back, first, to thank all these good people here that have commented with such loving words and second, to let you know that my Ph. D. is in philosophy and not in English which is one of the four languages I speak, however, is not my main subject although I have taught it as a second language. Finally, God bless you all!

Date: 10/18/2015 10:07:00 PM

Demetrios your PHD is a small part of you. Your wisdom goes beyond that. Your capabilities are far reaching than any label can describe my friend for you have the spirit of our God in your heart and senses. Those my friend can not be measured. Only we get a glimpse when you write your inspirations, which as anyone would read, they are at the highest level of love, intellect, truth, and wisdom. Your abilities to transform your ideas into inspiration and truths is very difficult to do, you do these time and time again. We all appreciate your writings that you share so freely. Thank you Demetrios. May you be rewarded many times over again from our Father for you HONOR HIM...

Love this tribute Mike to Demetrios. It is charming, fun to write, and gives us the Bio. On him in away that paint a picture of him visually and with his spirit! Good job! E. Nau

Michael Tor
Date: 10/18/2015 9:56:00 PM

His spirit shines Edlynn. He always lifts my spirits up when I read his writes. He is inspired by the Love of God that he has in his heart. So many of us that read his writings walk away sometimes amazed at his spiritual abilities that are sometimes profound. He is very humble and if you congratulate him on his writings he downplays his work. He is very educated and he attributes everything to God within him. Nayda Negron also writes with our God in mind. I also love her poetry. I'm sure you read Demetrios writes if you get a chance read Nayda's she is very gifted like Demetrios. I'm sure both inspired by our God. Thanks for the visit.

Richard I have too. So many here on the soup appreciate Demetrios so much. He has so many friends that care and appreciate him it's amazing to read the love that is coming from all those that are close to him including yourself. It is wonderful to see how good people come together and honor such a caring man. I know he is noticing all the good friends and the love we have for him. He is a Godly man. Thanks for the visit and be blessed Richard.
