Angel Falls, Usa

11/2/2023 * Angel Falls! Is a fictitious name for a city. It has nothing to do with angels. * Do you ever truly wonder who you are? Perchance a being, with the heart of a star? Who in this vast world are we anyway? Stumbling along on this grassy, human pathway! Thinking we are gods with pens, telling each other what to do, where and when?? To all this, conceit, I say ,Amen and Amen! I have done all of this, too and far more. As if one can find respect or love in trophies galore? Sought the loud applause of the loving poet crowd. Sometimes, in the end, you get in your back, a nice, sharp sword.! I am sure poets have experienced this sharp angst throughout history. Forgetting, that “the other” is possibly,far more important and significant than we! It is simply a fact, I wake to, every now and then. What good can I do for another, besides impressing them with a very dull and inglorious pen! Our mortal ends do come sooner, alas, than we think.. I am certain there is far more to do in life, than pen, with my dull, insipid ink! ~~~~~~~~~~ Note…. I an finding these poems I wrote a few years ago. I thought of erasing them? No reason to.! It is still timely. Let me know if you understand me, hugs, Pamgie

I think this is a fine piece of poetry, Pangie. Once again, you have so many great lines; the sword in the back took me by surprise, in a good way! How to do good for others is another one of those great thoughts that we should keep on a pad, tattooed (somehow) to our bodies to keep reminding ourselves to act on it.

Doing good( yes,( as in performing mitzvot!) Sometimes hard to do, right! Those swords in the back are awful! They are not like toothpicks. Being Pisces ….only worsens pain, in my case, in my heart. And I am not an intellectual. I think you know that I am more emotive.. and wow that gets me. Into loneliness and pain. Here’s to sunny days ahead. Pangie xx

Sorry, I missed this one earlier, Paula!. I big thank you for FAVING this also.hugs!,,,as usual my comments are never short. If we exist solely to blow our own horn, that’s a very empty life,…because you have to keep winning? What a pathetic way to feel worthwhile! That’s what the poem is all about.. to do good for others, not search for a crown. Hogs, Pangie

Hi Pangie, your honesty and perspective is so thoughtfully penned. I have my share of accolades, shouldn't chase more. Send me an email when you get a chance. Happy Saturday!

Regina! Truly, my honesty has been the death of me here. It’s much safer to say cute things. Much the same in the world, it cannot bear a genuine soul! I don’t fit in anywhere. You know how highly I think of you but I cannot say why without threats. I admire others here, but am long past commenting to be a star on the community board. My love and respect. Pangie xx

I just know I have to do what I do to survive, until one day my son says," Mom I want to be like you because you've always done so much for me. You've worked two jobs, and still came home to cook and clean without ever complaining." I was brought up that it was our duty to do and not complain. But I always loved what I did and would do it all over again. I didn't start writing until I was in my 60s. I love the person you are, Pangie.. Always stay that way.

Sorry for lare response! In my case, my daughter has outdone me! I wish I could be more like her.I do not know how she accomplished all in her life in a short time,I am no gift to her, She has gifted my days and blessed my nights. She just left to celebrate het 21 years of marriage. They were made for each other. Both you and I would really love our past life I know that. I think we are both compassionate people.. other people may not think that, but I know you and vice versa,. I didn’t start riding till I was 80 years old. I am 85 now, but I wish I was 29! Today is the anniversary of when I fell, and broke my femur two years ago. So I wrecked that anniversary with Maria.. Because she was with me all day. Nothing like having steel in your leg! . in your leg. I am here for you dear and I do consult mail me.. and if you don’t read me a plan that’s fine. I don’t read a lot of poetry anymore.. Nothing wrong with it. I just get tired.. granny Pangie
