Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Dawn Greets the Poet

Dawn Greets the Poet

            It's cold today and my fresh cup
            of coffee is coming to me.
            It's the petrol that jump starts my
            sleeping, poetic brain.

            Ah, here it comes in my favorite red plaid kitchen cup.
            I can hear those brain cells waking up!

            What's this today! Oh, how sweet!
            A Christmas tree-shaped tiny cake!
            Indeed, oh my yes! I can smell the aroma of fresh ideas, 
            start to bake!

Gershon Wolf December 12, 2019 at 10:12 PM Those ideas baking in the oven sure smell delicious!! Congrats, Panagiota, on POTD! Happy Day! Cheers, Gershon Panagiota Romios December 12, 2019 at 10:37 PM Nice the hear from you Gershon. Thought you had me in mothballs! LOL. Yessss..my head is forever creating. Grandson playing in concert tonight. I will hear him play at home on Christmas Day. Did not want to go tonight. Watching UK results on BBC and Bozo and his clowns in DC. At least Bozo was fun and not into creating pain and playing on the people' stupidity. It's actually, very sad....((( Panagiota ~ Pillbury Dough Woman xxx

Kai Michael Neumann December 11, 2019 at 4:41 AM Up to the last line, that was exactly my morning, but then making is not in my repertoire. Maybe I should start, because at times I can put the pro into crastination. Kind baking and Christmas wishes to you, Kai Panagiota Romios December 11, 2019 at 12:15 PM Greetings Kai, and I understand the "pro"))). I love the Keurig coffee maker. Simple, fast, delicious. Writing a poem is much harder. May your Christmas be the best ever, Kai! Panagiota xxx

Robert Lindley December 10, 2019 at 12:43 PM Dawn, coffee and a brain waking to enjoy God's green earth are the stimuli that has birthed many a great and beautiful poem! To wake to a bright cheery morn is a divine blessing!! Your poem has cheered my day my wonderful friend.. God bless... Panagiota Romios December 10, 2019 at 2:45 PM Dearest Poet, I find happiness in things many do not. I see we share many of the same ideas! Knowing you are in my corner, whether down or up impresses me. You have never trashed a poem of mine. You have never been on a high horse here and yet you have every right to be! Conceited can never be an adjective for you.You don't bellow about your greatness. It simply is. Love, Panagiota

Quoth Theraven December 9, 2019 at 9:45 AM Panagiota, I love this poem's cup. The gift that keeps on giving. My filled dollar store cup runneth over this morning. -Richard Panagiota Romios December 9, 2019 at 11:05 AM My cup is actually China. It's plaid as stated and has a gold rim around the top and a gold handle. But any cup will do, my friend. This one, I get all nutty about, or shall I say, grateful. Enjoy...Panagiota

Jennifer Proxenos December 9, 2019 at 9:40 AM That first cup of coffee in the morning is like fuel being put in a car, I couldn't agree with you more, the brain cells don't wake up without it, and, have no muse right now either! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Panagiota Romios December 9, 2019 at 11:01 AM Coffee....vintage drink from the gods at Mount Olympus. Your muse is showering with another.. Woo-Hoo. )) I think I told you our shared Greek grandson is making a book of poetry for me for Christmas. Cannot wait to see it. Thank you for the sweet words. I love Greek Frappe coffee..OMG!

Ann Foster December 9, 2019 at 8:42 AM Oh wow... pass a cup... smells delicious. Wonderfully written. I was there... I want to be there... I wish I was there...
