Play with Fire Till Your Fingers Burn

           ~Play With Fire Till your Fingers Burn~
                      5/20/2025

Experience life to its full brink,so sad, to witness any human, being had!
Just try to be a mirror of them, it will drive you  uncontrollaby mad!
The world is the jelly bowl, of jellybeans who just all shine and conform.
And yes, they will step on you, if you are not of their norm.
They’ll run from your space, they won’t talk to you!
As if you were an insane specimen from an abnormal zoo!


To be like all the others, is like a living death, all of your days!
Because what you’ve done, is live in fear, and given your precious soul away..
Just write poetry and make love with lif, and play  with fire,vool, .and 
Let your fingers  type with joy,and fully burn.
They shall never experience life on their timid, lifeless, terms.

You might even find yourself, rarely read.
That is a great sign, go bake a loaf of fresh f.aromatic, cinnamon bread!
I don’t want to find anyone being a jelly bean poet!
If you are a real poet, the first thing to do is to write a lot of the
of the invincible you, with immense courage, please do show it!

            Thank you! Outstanding Poets!

Elena Eagle Date: 5/26/2025 4:52:00 PM A motivational poem for all to reflect upon. Well done. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/31/2025 4:10:00 PM Hi Elena and thank you for reading me. I always appreciate comments. I know I don’t write as much anymore, but I do appreciate comments in any case.. I am still dealing with vision problems and I can’t be here as much as I used to. Thank you.Pangie

Mickey Grubb Date: 5/21/2025 1:44:00 PM I especially love the way you challenge the reader to write with courage--to let their fingers burn with the joy of creation. Your poem is a passionate call to individuality and fearless creativity! Beautifully written, Pangie! Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/26/2025 11:37:00 AM Hi Mickey, I had many mentors in my life, who so I’ll be on their own noses. And they made a difference on this planet.. I am not exaggerating. My current port mentor lives in the UK and his 50th poetry book is now on sale at Amazon. He is working on five books right now. I cannot believe it. I wonder when I get to work in line I guess when I get my new glasses, which is this week. So find some powerful people, not followers and make them your best friends. Thank you for saying this was beautifully written., hugs, Pangie

Kenneth MATTOON Date: 5/20/2025 6:42:00 PM Tell your story through your words my friend. Stay true to yourself. Your true friends will accept your for who your are and not what they think you should be. I too will continue to write.

That seems to be the story of my life and I’m sure millions of other people. That has gotten me in plenty of trouble with excellent results.. I don’t hang around conformistts, I make my own path! No matter how hard it is and no matter how lonely it is. Because in the end that is the only way you have an impact on the world.! Hugs, Pangie

Gray Squirrel Date: 5/20/2025 1:21:00 PM Stop Calling Me That. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/20/2025 5:35:00 PM Thank you Gray Squirrel. I was as always, encouraging others …to be themseves, that is the hardest thing to do in life for any of us. Because the world is trying to make us be like them..It had nothing to do with you in particular. “Follow us or else”.is no way to treat poets And please notice this at the end, that I did acknowledge all poets… I didn’t say don’t acknowledge this one and don’t that one.
