Dig In Deep Poet

Dig in Deep, Poet 9/7/2023 Life is for living, don't wait for the Grim Reaper? Take your shower, have breakfast, dress, take a walk. Breathe God's air in and out. So much so that..... With joy, you almost want to shout! Have a chat with a good neighbor, Tell another how very nice they look. Get out of your head, stop pondering That only you, are the outstanding best Do say kind thar words soothe and elevate others. See your smiling neighbor coming to you? In his shiny electric wheelchair? He lost both legs in a war. Smiling so brightly and proudly,walking his dog. Yes, you have a delightful, cordial chat? And you realize that now, you have what it takes. And you finally, a lovely poem do pen. What's so dang hard about that? Your if I can pen a poem, transformed like magic,,, Into..not how, but the joy for …when!!

Ah, dearest Ayana, this poem is so very simple, was surprised it had POTD status, but, I am no fantasy- pants poet with a humungus vocabulary, imagery, etc., still have a ways to go. All I write is what I love and experience and never seek recognition.Poetry is not a bowling alley. Poetry is an art form. Thank you! Pangiexx

Robert, who never left my side, all these.years? I must thank you for always having my back! I finally learned a learned a lesson from you….you aRE SEMPER FI!. I admire your support and teaching of others here. Honesty comes first. Forms are great, but not trying to fit myself into them, like a cute ballet dancer! I did that when I was seven!I don’t think poetry has to be pretty all the time nor a joke.. It’s OK to write of dark topics. Or loss,for that matter. I am honored you came back to celebrate this day Bless you, Pangie xx

Dear Panagiota, you're always finding the positive in any given situation. (We are alike in that way.) Life is worth the living, indeed. It's best to share a kind word, a smile, and to be a light in someone's world. Your thoughts lift my heart, my dear friend. Thank you for being here, for being you. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Brandy~ You already must know how much I admire you.I would trust you with my life. Integrity Ruiz a key to tour heart, you watch over other piets, you are not here to be Queen of the May, the others queens dare not sign this as if I were a leper. They know I tell the truth, top male poets are not here either? It is OK, I know how to forgive. A genuine heart beats in your chest. Friends suppirt us, non friends never will. Doing good bears doing harm.and love, in the end, conquers all. Thank you for being a bright star and good example to me! Gratefully, Pangiexx

This is such an evocative and soul stirring write that reflects that we have everything that's needed to create our own world of magic and peace only if we realise and rise above the darkness that's hovering above our eyes and see beyond. This is also a messenger to remind our hearts to cherish small moments of joy and to be grateful for what the God has so kindly gifted to us.. Definitely a well-deserved POTD dear, heartiest congratulations, enjoy!! :)

Hiya, never dreamed this simple poem would be liked! I am no linguist or imagist or dabble in multiple forms. But then, some of the sip,est piets can touch our hearts, truth beats being fancy, Ee Cummings, a great poet changed my life, poetry is a heart connection, I feel.. I have no desire to impress anyone.along the way, I connect with a gew souls, that is sufficient for my simple soul, Hiya. And thank you for coming by.It means so much Pangie xx

Your poem is sooo dang good ! This ashamedly is the first of your poems I have ever read. What a sweet soul you have. I feel sure that you wrote it to me! So much trouble to navigate the chair out of the house, so I stay home. Cant write any more, am off for a "walk" (though I wont be walking). I will follow your poems from now on. Congrats on the POTD that led me to you.

I accept you congratulations with a huge smile,I think there are 3,192 poems here. Pangiella is a fun one,))) you have a sense of humor and a warm heart, do you know it? After I broke my thigh bone two tears ago, walking now only with a rollator,boy, I miss running and dancing, even belly dancing. No more stand up comedy, can’t stand! SoI guess there are no comedians who perform in a prone position? LOL I wrote this for me, to be grateful and laugh, so many cool people in life.they taught me all you see in that poem and more. I am not online all day. That’s why you haven’t seen me, but I have produced a lot in a short time, andever in a contest or blog, I get attacked in blogs. I have a tendency to say the truth, a mistake. It cost me! Pangie xx

Hi friend of many years! I didn’t think I was on a roll a little. LOL. And I never thought that would be POTD. I guess the angels were at work! Remember to write me here at soupmail as I goofed up my email box. So I can’t check it for notices as I have to run back to PS. iPads are great until you do something stupid like press the wrong button.. I obviously did that. Elaina won’t be here till this evening. So any messages soup mail me Thank you for being my friend and many blessings be yours. PangieXx

This is such a deeply moving poem and you’ve conveyed a very important message and reminder to be grateful and embrace little things , and live a little while we can and through that, we learn and find inspiration and faith again. Simplicity of life has so much to offer, and sometimes those that has been through such challenging times smile wholeheartedly. This made me think. Well deserved POTD. Congratulations

A very encouraging, upbeat poem and look at life, Pangie! We take so much for granted and get caught up in our own little worlds, that we tend to ignore all the beauty and treasures around us. Congrats on your well-deserved POTD! Blessings, Kim M

Hi Kim! Glad to see you here. How right you are! We forget that which means the most, too often!I have to pep talk myself frequently. And cannot lose contact with God. Glad you are here today.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:1?, ?3?-?7 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/1co.13.1-7.NIV
