Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Create Beauty,Not Blues

"This is the day the Lord  made!  
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
          ~~~
We woke up today, alive, I might add!
Had our coffee and put on the news.
Loaded with negatives, photos that so
darken our hearts, it made our toes curl
in our house shoes.
Numbers that chill us to the very bone!
There's positives which are never shown.

Listening to this? Not very smart!

Take your shower, get dressed and get
out of the house, happy as a lark.
You are a poet with a pen!
With the ability to create a world full of
hope and stunningly golden.

Make it your business to pay special attention 
to your pets and to others.
This is no time to give into depression, hiding 
under our covers.

Jennifer Proxenos April 2, 2020 at 2:26 AM Hi Panagiota, we are in severe lock down, only allowed in our gardens, no walks, no runs, no doggy walks - but I agree with our President, he made a wise decision - we have so much to do, cleaning the house, writing my poetry, sketching, making jewellry, scrabble. Elias helps me with the house thank goodness. He has his toy room which is his double garage which is filled with toys for boys - then we have Netflix to watch or a braai in the garden. Love your exquisite poem, Blessings, Jennifer Panagiota Romios April 2, 2020 at 10:05 AM Well, we are only in stay in place in CA for approximately the past two weeks. We can run, walk, bike, doggy walk too. Store hours are getting limited. I have been in self isolation for two months as I am in the high risk group. Eddie called me last night. He cannot come in my house. That is the hardest of all. There I was sobbing on the phone. He goes to school online daily.I never get bored. My calico cat is a warm fuzz ball. Gratefully, Panagiota xx

Tom Panagiota Romios April 1, 2020 at 11:34 AM You remind me of the words I recall from a song long ago... "Let your smile be your umbrella, on a rainy day" Thanks my friend, Panaiota xx

Gershon Wolf March 31, 2020 at 4:42 PM Great advice, although here the police have taken over the streets. Not much fun 'taking a walk.' Oh, well... Cheers, Gershon Panagiota Romios March 31, 2020 at 10:41 PM No police here.....))). You can still walk, right? Soupmail coming. Thank you. Panagiota xx
