Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

---Fear and Darkness---

     The still road was abandoned 
     and onyx-painted dark.
     I was walking from waitressing 
     near the park.
     The stars were Spring bright.
     And then~I heard wandering
     footsteps behind me!

     Too frightened to turn around 
     and see.
     A decision I had to make!
     To turn and face danger for my 
     sake!
     Within three feet of me, stood
     a huge, burly man.
     I yelled, "what do you want?"
     Amazingly,he turned from me 
     and he ran!

     I shall always remember that
     Spring, frightftful night.
     To look fear right in the eye, 
     No matter what, still gives me 
     everlasting might!

Tom Cunningham April 21, 2021 at 2:06 AM What a terrifying experience, such a relief when he ran off. Tom Panagiota Romios April 21, 2021 at 8:55 AM Dear Tom, it was awful....such a relief? Indeed. Let a bully Here or anywhere get in my face! I cam handle them. I know who they are. They mess with others....viciously. Too bad. Pangie xx

Caren Krutsinger April 20, 2021 at 7:58 PM You called him out. "I yelled, "what do you want?" Amazingly,he turned from me and he ran!" I love this! Panagiota Romios April 21, 2021 at 8:50 AM If this ever happens to you, use your best judgement! I figured he was a rapist and if confronted, they go running. I had read about that. It terrified me! He ran away so fast,)))Caren. But more importantly, I don't let people, or issues scare me! So that event, changed my life. I never live my life as a victim of anything. Thank you.""Pangie xx
