Gee~ I was not talking about you.)))) I Do love costumes. Having been a ballet dancer, been on stage as an actress, later.,a belly dancer. Words and images are not us. They are just representation of us. I love real people. Poets like ee cummings. There is a reality to his poetry. No masquerade. It's a moot point. I use imagery also. But prefer to be true to who I am. Retired from theatrics, lights and images, Pangie xx. Thank you,

Hi Again! I do forget my Poems as there are over one thousand. Thank you for bringing me back to what I dream to be as a poet...an eagle, not a mouse! Unafraid to build her own poetry house. Blessings to you and more. Panagiota

Hi, Richard! Well let's jump in! I love that kind of poetry. I forget I am an eagle at times and think I do better as a conformist slug! It doent work. I just wrote a poem telling on myself..it's easy to get off track at times.Panagiota

Anthony! You and I are on the same page. I have commented to you many times because I see honesty in your Poetry. Puff poetry is not you. You always tell it like it is. Acceptance is a room full of insincere backslappers.I promise, not one of them would ever comment to my poetry. And that's a good thing. It's a sign I am a poet not a puppet. Love you, Panagiota xx

So very true. Also~ the beauty and joy of living. Our world is full of negative. Too bad. Was Shakespeare oppressed? ee Cummings? Worsworth? Whitman? Let me know who was repressed. Please? Thank you...Panagiota. In the USA and worldwide, there are words we can no longer say. That scares me..,,Panagiota. Thank you for your deep thoughts.

I am so honored Connie, to have you FAV this. A poet of your calibre, I have high respect for. So... Thank you from my heart to yours. Panagiota xxxx

Jeanne~ that a too kind a comment. But I know what you mean and appreciate your visit, always. Keep coming back.))) Love, Panagiota

Panagiota, I don’t even post ten poems a month, never mind ten poems a day.. I like to take my time and linger over each piece. I believe in editing and rewriting, so for me each poem is a true labor of love that takes time to finish. I’m not a prolific poet, that’s for sure. Sometimes I do wish that my creative process worked faster but I’ve come to accept my methodology:))

Thanking you from the bottom of my poetic heart! It's a joy to write a poem that I like. Not just write to rack up numbers by the shortest poems possible. What win in there in that? The worst part is people don't read them and honestly, I can't write 10 quality poems a day. If I can, I will. But time is short and quality counts. You and others, Susan have brought out the best in me. Amazing, the talent at SP! It is an honor and more humbling than ego inflating. Egos burst like bubbles. Love for others? Everlasting. Bless you... Panagiota xxxx

My Dearest Ann, what a moving comment, you have me in tears. I hope you enjoyed your holiday, Ann. Really, that's all I want to be as a poet and a human. Honest and passionate, everything else is hogwash. And a support to my fellow poets. But have stopped endless Comnenting to non responders. Thank you for being a blessing, Panagiota xxx

Jennifer mou You are one of my blessings here. Never expected this POTD you are great of heart and it shows in your poetry. Besides being a great writer.one learns who ones friends are at the Soup and who are not.Some we have to say goodbye to. You are close to my heart...Epharisto, Panagiotaxxxx Panagiota xxx

I was so glad you got today's POTD. I think I said HURRAH aloud.)) Thank you for a commenting,Richard. Panagiota xxxxxx

Sandra! Hello. I am so glad you commented. At times I do think I am the worst poet here. A POTD reminds me that is baloney in Thd mind. Plus have a poem featured on the Home Page this week, The Will to Win.its about my health Panagiota, with deep thanks.

I know you did not! ))) wonderful to share my pleasure with you,Love you, Panagiota xx

Thank you, Tani for sharing in this joy! Panagiotavxxx

My thanks and love, Panagiota xxx

Anne Lise.... Perfect! Wow! That's so sweet of you to say.it was a shock to me! Panagiota xx

Thank you Brandy. It's almost noon here, I had no idea this was a POTD. The nice part is the honor, part two is one finds out who their poet friends really are, ALSO...Brandy..NOTICE..I have never had Any Photo at the Soup nor icon. Whoever is there, is not me. I am only in silhouette format.))) Panagiota

And I see you have changed your photo back- once again. Perhaps you don't like this one of me.

Why,, thank you and I love your icon, It takes a big heart to acknowlege another. You have one. Panagiota xx

SUNLITE..I thank upu for your personal recognition! Panagiota xx

Maureen! Hello! I am ecstatic that it is a FAV for You and you liked it. One of my poems is festered on the Home Page this week. Hey, a double header! Thank you Panagiota xx

A perfect comment, John. Thank you. I sent you a Soupmail earlier Panagiota xxx

^WW^ how right you are. Thank you so much. Gratefully, Panagiota xx

Lol,Tom! I remember the last time you emailed me and told me the last time my poem had made POTD. Only someone sweet as you would do so. Bless you and Thank you. Panagiota xx

Robrrt, thank you and couldn't Agrree with you more, A lovely comment that deserves consideration. Thank you for supporting me. not feeling well today, so responded late to many, Sorry Panagiota xx

I do try to encourage others.but realize the price for that is not getting comments. You will doubtless be the only one. And that's perfectly OK. I know another poet far better than I. I mean more than 10, who get no or few comments, I fall in that group, I don't write to please others.Nor do they. I speak the truth as I see it. I hope you soar!Panagiota ~~~
