A Place In the Sun-May, 7 --------Potd






A place in the sun shines for me.

Under the acknowledgement tree.

I don't mean from others.

They are too busy to be bothered.

Only from my experiences in life,

I find them full and ripe!

Only you, really can crown your poem.

Put it in your warm heart~

The poem's true home!

Line, honored by your visit. Thar topic is significant, I , personally do not write to please others. Best poetry addresses, beauty, truth and has a sublime meaning. I am not into new forms. I only speak from my soul.Plato defines poetry, as that addressing the sublime. It uplifts us. Graciously, PANGIE XX

5/14" Robert.some disagree with you , that this POTD WAS AN Error. Wonderful to hear, is it not?? No, it is unkind, contrary to what you said, apparently many here think I am a toad of some kind unfit for their royaal road? I am no big deal here. Soupmails that say this, are not wanted by any Poet. Only here two years....much to learn love Pangie

Writing poetry sets the poets heart free by sharing their happiness, love, sorrow or grief. Read or commented on doesn’t matter at all, poets poems are gems they’ll treasure forever more. Congratulations on poem of the day with this wonderful write Panagiota… Belle

Dear Bette! I so admire your attitude. I hope ve all valoe are gems. Some see them as trash? Not our problem it is theirs. Keep judgemental poetsvfar away from both of us, is my wish. I don't write to win a trophy or a POTD,. THE POEM ITSELF, IS THE THING. THE accolades are wonderful, to be sure! Write out of love of writing,,of Life. To encapsulate an idea, a scenes a realtionship.... Thanks, Belle. You are great.

Congratulations on another POTD Pangie! Agreed! Any poem not written from the many secret chambers hidden in the heart just wanders aimlessly like a lost ghost without purpose or meaning. Wonderfully penned my friend! Blessings and a hug!

Dear Sam, you're back! I think the earthquake from the Sierras caused the second POTD.)) surely, I jest. It's hard to read poems that the Poet cannot communicate. Get the point across if we can, eh.? Some I get lost in. Have no clue where the poet is going. Anyway, again,....thank you for the hug and the blessings.. Earthquake Pangie xx

My dear Kim, so grateful to see you today. I really do know how easy it is to get down. I try my best to open the truth about any topic. I never pretend. Some Poets do not understand this. I am not here to entertain the troops. I am here, like many others, to tell it like I see it. I can't hide that. Keep posting Kim. A bright light you are. Thank you. Pangie xx

Hello David., thank you today and for the other days you have read me. No matter who reads you, you don't need to be Mr Popularity here to be a good Poet. Just connect and share your lovely heart. I don't know who said this, but remember this. "Writers, write" . I hold my feet to the fire. No excuses for not writing. No blaming a muse. Ever! Hand, Paper, pen ,heart. That's my recipe. Much to learn,as well. CHEERS to you, as well. Pangie

Lisa, I never expected this! Your comment is true and accurate. I love warm Poetry that I can understand. Sometimes I feel a poet is talking, in a car to themselves. Unaware we are there? I think you know what I mean. Your comment shows deep connection with others. It is emotive not just a cold comment. I feel you in my living room. Thanks. Pangie xx
