Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Being a True Poet

          I wrapped a red ribbon on my finger!
          Stunned me to go thousands 
          of poems back, I had penned.
          To discover some dazzling zingers.

           I realized I lost something satiny soft.
           Like a diamond ring that is
           far beyond cost.
           I got lost in the poetry form.
           
           Thinking that was the way to please 
           others came first, for me, oh so wrong!
           Use the hot, tempered blood of who is really me.
           For another poet, I shall never be!

Robert L. Hinshaw April 20, 2021 at 3:24 PM Very well said, Pangie. I too look back and wonder at some of the stuff I wrote, some good, a lot of it, nonsense. No matter, I attribute any talent for my meager attempt at writing to God who is very patient with me - ha! Panagiota Romios April 20, 2021 at 4:15 PM Hello Bob! I am in your camp. It's God's gift is all I can say. But is not all of our lives. simply gifts from Him? Spouses, children, grandchildren and homes? Living stupendous lives? In my case,add surviving death at least 5 times! I could never have done this without Godl Hugs, Pangie xx

Connie Marcum Wong April 20, 2021 at 11:13 AM I can relate to this Panagiota. I have forgotten many of my past poems. Sometimes I fit them into another form. Have a great week and “to thine own self be true”. Blessings xxoo. Panagiota Romios April 20, 2021 at 11:35 AM Happy Monday Connie! I know you have a ton of your own. I have seen some at SHADOW POET..,,,a great site. ***** Interesting...I never thought of fitting them into another form! What a great idea. It's hard for me to not be me.)) Blessings from CA, Pamgie xx
