Dancing With Poppies



                              



                                 Dancing with Poppies
                                      9/21/2023






In love with sunrises and sunsets, I began waltzing with poppies with glee.
Then came the stark realization,  that someone might be 
watching me!


For to express one’s spirit so fully is not appreciated in today’s
uptight, online society.
Even, the words “ online society” presented me with base, lonely , staccato keys!


Where we really do not know the other, sadly, only, the keystrokes,  what totally, odd hegemony?
Who is real and who is not~ gives one plentiful food for thought aplenty!


These thoughts are always with me, and play a strange, melodic,haunting,
lonely , cacophony!
I decided to cast my fate to the winds,,dance in sunsets and poppies forever, my heart , its drumbeat, forever, dancing in glorious glee!

What a wonderfully floral inspired presentation of raw emotions! Woven in to an observation of societies double standard and disconnect brought about by faceless interaction. Thanks for the wisdom! By now it's hardly a secret but I have a soft spot for monorhymes. Thoroughly enjoyed this one on my favorites list it goes... A.S.

AS, it’s OK you like mono-rhymes…I delight in your honesty. Will have to do a dance dedicated to that special aspect of your character! Be in charge of your mind, do not listen to trash! It hurts us all. We are netter and bigger. Pangie xx

I agree that expressing ones spirit is frowned upon, yet we seem free to pen all we wish from heart. I like your poem.

Bless you for your honest and open heart., Karen I was raised to be a quiet, obedient child, I was, but as we grow, we learn self expression is important. Some never grow to find that joy……some will even dislike us, it’s OK. Be you….Pangie xx

Let them watch you dancing Panagiota mou, show them how to live life amongst the poppies. Unfortunately there are not many of them in this chaotic world, but may I join you. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Pangie, I'm glad you decided to dance in the poppies, instead of feeling shadowed by those other unknowns. Hopefully it's just us poets, the keystroke masters, watching what you write, anyways.
