Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

Crossing Poetic Waters

Why write all this poetry when the
most comments I get are three?
The answer is quite simple, don't you see..
I write for me, not and never for thee.
                .....
Being an entertainer is hardly my goal.
I realize I came here to share my total
life and my soul.
                 .....
Perhaps my poetry is worse than meaningless.
Perhaps it  lacks a thesaurus's finesse.
                 .....
I started to post primarily so my family would 
have a written memory of me.
Long, long  after my spirit is gone, and I no
longer be!

Tom Cunningham September 16, 2020 at 6:09 AM Well here's a seventh, you write for you, a million comments, no comments. Shouldn't make a blind bit of difference, you write gems for you, no one else. Remember the circle,!!! Tom Panagiota Romios September 16, 2020 at 7:38 AM Everyone likes recognition and some acknowledgemt. A poet has to acknowledge themselves first. Never mind the numbers after that, or the contest winners or POTDS. Joy comes from within. Word Hobo is wise to have no comments.)). Merci, Pangie x

Robert Lindley September 15, 2020 at 3:09 AM My friend, you write from your heart, from a soul that seeks to give to others. That is the essence of pure poetry. Comments are fine and a moral boost but in the long run what exists as -your-- poetry is what matters. You and I both write for the same reason and with the same intentions. A fav.. God bless.. Panagiota Romios September 15, 2020 at 10:41 AM So glad to know we write for the same reasons and with the same intention, my dear friend. Wonderful of you to FAV this! Thank you. Panagiota xx

Quoth Theraven September 14, 2020 at 9:02 PM Panagiota, It may be a small consolation I hope. -Richard Panagiota Romios September 15, 2020 at 10:36 AM It is a consolation! See my comment to Gershon. Thanks for your comments in over a year and a half. Panagiota xx

Gershon Wolf September 14, 2020 at 7:44 PM Love the title... And guess what: I too write primarily so my family will have some record of what I actually think... just in case anyone's interested... I know that I would love to know my grandparents' thoughts. But alas... Keep going for it, Poet! Ride that train down memory lane... :) gw Panagiota Romios September 15, 2020 at 10:32 AM Gershon, so glad to know you write for family. After we are gone, then they will wonder.)) but in our case, I think it's a fabulous heritage. Money inherited, is gone fast enough. We will be here forever for them and their progeny, and the progeny after that. So though we pass away,our thoughts and poetry remain eternal. Panagiota xx and our DNA walks with them.
