Notes About The Poem

A Poet Needs Compatriots







There is magic in life, but you must let go of anyone,out to destroy your soul.
Of these there are a plethora. 
Are they descendants of Sodom and Gemmorah ?

These poets…simply cannot let you joyfully be!
Unless, your ideas match theirs in tandem, in modern poetry, do you see?
Dare you be different, they turn against you, indeed, hastily!

So, you must find other writers of sterling integrity.
If not, you are cursed to ever be a nothing poet.
Sadly doomed, to their odes to mediocrity!

Pangie, if we can't say what we feel. What fun would that be? Not much that I can see. Different views are the foundation of poetry. Keep Rolling.xx

RJ~ there are already things we cannot say here, like “korn” you know I can spell it correctly.There are “korn” words in use here. I complained to PS. They allow it? Yes. Our kids,OMG. Boys go to school dressed as boys but can change into dresses when in schhol? Yes. And schools support Trans. It’s up to us to speak. Up. The US gov will label you as a “terrorist” If you speak up as a parent at a school meetinG! My daughter is no longer in school, she writes here. . Her son is in a sane Christian School.men ruining women’s sports and Beauty pageants? Yes there are different views, but only the far left are respected. Even if you lean right, you will not be liked here. Are you aware of that? Pangie

We find our brothers and sisters as we match theirs in tandem. I try not to pay attention to the ugly ones, sorry if someone made you feel that way. The picture of setting yourself free just hit the spot! xhugs

Pangie, as usual, you have a soothing command of words that express in poetic form, words that need to be heard! Bob H

Good evening, Bob,I was watching RFK Jr, and Rabbi Boteach….last week RFK JR was called and anti Semite.why don’t the Democrats just shoot him in the head like Sirhan killed his father? Such liars. I refer to the leftist loons in Congress. Not voters..Let me know if you want to want the link. Instead, the Congress wants to make him into a drug addict and have four more years of the commander-in-teeth. As POTUS’ dog is chewing on the Secret Service and WH staff. A nice follow up to the plastic bag that they destroyed. Sheesh. You know you couldn’t make this up. Not even Tom Clancy could write a comedy.this funny, Hannity tonight repeats a town hall with RFK. He’s going to give the GOP a run for the money. No kidding.. Pangie

Several here get pleasure from reducing souls to playthings. Bully pulpits to deride sweet poetry. You're calling them out, but best to spend your time on what is beautiful, refreshing, reverent, wholly holy. Their darkness cannot overcome your light. :o))

Leaders do not make believe ugliness does not exist. As you noticed Arlo, I am not here with 300 poems. Far more.And yes, they were typed with one finger. Take a look at what I did with one finger on an IPAD,. Look at my comments! ..same deal.rare oy write short comments,,,))One finger on those too………ihave had multiple POTDs also. I want no followers just friends. I have them and am grateful for each.I am hardly perfect. I do what I can..I wish I had NO limitations so ,like you,just a human being. We write poetry despite negative people.huzzah…Pangie

Hello Stephen, hope all is well with you,each poet must not attack another.Worse, for entire groups to Put us on a No ReadList, they do exist here. I think of that saying, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want” if desiring the approval of other poets and forgetting God. Worse, wanting comments so we follow others as mad dogs chasing cars. And pen one word replies in baby Talk? I thought we were over 7 years old. If one can pen a poem, please use a thesaurus and stop the drive by….one word comments. Poets have feelings., right? Pangie
