Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

A Poet's Coal Glinting Eyes

I think I have a mild cold!
Big deal~ complaining daily, a habit of the old.
But I suffer from much gratitude.and if I dare write 
a poem about true reality, it's labeled as bad as having
a strong, negative attitude?

Some here, never read the Bard, not even of his             
Romeo and his beloved, Juliet?
Wherein, Shakespeare actually spoke of death.
He did not write in iflowery platitudes!

Some  hide in poems, pretty, and run like deer from
anything that touches the soul.
Each night, their empty, soulless, eyes are black and 
empty as a piece of coal.


Life is not a laughing carousel, on which we are     
condemned to pen with smiles till Hell.
A poet can write whatever, they choose, I say, 
and not be condemned to a positive-oriented,
doomed, quilled-padded cell!


Be you, always!

Gershon Wolf May 18, 2021 at 8:13 PM Still and all, a steady diet of negativity consumes the poet as well as the reader. There is a time for this; there is a time for that, as Solomon wrote... :) gw Panagiota Romios May 18, 2021 at 8:43 PM You think? I am not sure. I don't watch news out to destroy the USA, EVER. That helps.but am aware of the hooliganism being wrought on us and not afraid to pen about it, tbe poem clearly states that. I don't write all negative nor all positive poems. You can peruse all my poems..love is my fav topic..Familial or otherwise. I am direct in my poems also. I stay away from cliches. Just do my best)) Pangie xx
