Follow Your Starlit Goals

Do not allow others to define you.
You, deep as the rolling cerulean sea.
And believe me you are the bright
star on your Christmas tree!

Chase your dreams, they will not
fall into your lap!
Above all, don't judge your poem by  the number 
of comments you get.
That's no way to go, my pet!!

We all have different unique styles
Created in part by our unique life 
miles.
Behind your words your hear hearts and lives.
Just be your best and in that moment, to humanity 
you truly will do more than survive!

Soupmail me, if you feel passed  by.
I have seen the huge number of poets unread,
Believe me..here there is no Poetic godhead.

I try to remind people this is poetry, not comment soup!
Just be here to be original and the satisfaction of not wanting 
commenting from others is a true poet's hue.
It takes courage! I understand to continue!
Some of the very best here have unique poet venues.

what a smashing comment. I just was writing to Tom C. I don't want to be "like" another poet here at all. So true, Robert truth may be in the pen. I don't like it being used as a rocket launcher to besmirch, belittle or smear any human on this planet. Those uppity poets, I will not read again! Destroy thyself in front of us. We all have weaknesses.. I do))love you,,Pangie xx

My friend, you write from and with a true poet's heart. Your poems speak so well to the reader with clear and a reasonable, important message. *Carry on and let thy great pen amaze. *Life oft is a dark and confusing haze. *For clarity and peace one may deep search. * Truth oft rests within poet's pen and church. *Forgive those living to lie and besmirch.* I marvel at the soft heart that so sees.* Blessings- Heaven, Love, Life, Flowers and Trees. A fav.. a gem ..

Very encouraging words, especially to those who get discouraged. Loved the lines "We all have different unique styles / Created in part by our unique life miles." When one writes from the heart, their poetry is both unique and relateable. Also liked the 'chase your dreams' thought. Blessings on your day ~ John
