Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

A Simple Poet Ponders

A Simple Poet Ponders..

Along a lane of glowing orange
trees, I leisurely sauntered.
Reminiscing of my lovers in the past
Then,suddenly, a strong wind blew them 
all away in a one, refreshing gasp!

Instead, I pondered my virtues and failings, 
in the stillness of the autumn morning dew.
Hugged by loving trees on either side.
Knowing that in God's hands, I did abide.
The crunch of His leaves beneath my feet.
I longed for the day, the face of my God to meet.

Lindsay Laurie November 6, 2019 at 6:22 PM Hello Panagiota … you really have set the scene in this poem for what a writer does best, and that is his thoughts to share - Thank you Panagiota - Lindsay Panagiota Romios November 6, 2019 at 6:31 PM Laurie~ how well said. have fun writing today, my friend Panagiota.

Gershon Wolf November 5, 2019 at 9:14 PM I certainly was entertained by that strong wind blowing away thoughts of your lovers, 'a refreshing gasp!' Like the way you put that... and your transition into the meatier, meaningful 2nd stanza. Poetically and profoundly done, my friend! Warmest wishes, Gershon Panagiota Romios November 6, 2019 at 7:13 AM Thank you, Gershon. Blushing, Panagiota

Caren Krutsinger November 4, 2019 at 7:50 AM This seems to be the crux of this season. "Instead, I pondered my virtues and failings, in the stillness of the autumn morning dew." Panagiota Romios November 4, 2019 at 7:54 AM Hey thanks, Caren. Mice to see you back in play. Panagiota Xx

Line Gauthier November 3, 2019 at 1:16 PM Delightful poem, Panagiota. Panagiota Romios November 3, 2019 at 3:36 PM Merci, Line!

Silent One November 3, 2019 at 6:17 AM No one is saying get out.. you do your thing.. don't worry about those things... also, people are busy, and when there are lots of poems, they seem to comment on those who comment on theirs.. sadly thats how it works around here.. expect for some who do not do it this way... and when there are hundreds of poems posted, it is time consuming and difficult to go through them all... smile my friend :) Panagiota Romios November 3, 2019 at 10:52 AM Thanks ))))

Silent One November 3, 2019 at 5:33 AM you are not a simple poet.... you are a great poet and i like this poem.. especially the opening lines.. Panagiota Romios November 3, 2019 at 6:13 AM Alas, I wish I felt as you.its like a whipping post putting my poems online. Some of the best here are ignored....look at the read numbers. I don't think I am a best poet, I hear a message to GET OUT. Other really great poets have low reads. I know of nobody new ever, who gets 200 reads a poem. But it's going on now. Hardly a mystery, Thanks. PR

Mystic Rose Rose November 3, 2019 at 5:23 AM all away in a one, refreshing gasp! , LUCKY HE DID OR ELSE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE MET GOD IN SUCH A POWERFUL WAY. LOVE XO Panagiota Romios November 3, 2019 at 6:03 AM He had second thoughts before he did. Recall, He asked his Father to let the cup pass from Him. Yes, If He had not died...but He did. What a sacrifice! XO
