Gaining Inner Poetic Peace

For Those Who Fret 


When, within yourself, you are able
to joyfully sing.
And not from another want their 
commenting.

This site is for poets, not a therapy
group.
If you hang out for comments, your
head might just droop!

Just be the genuine poet that you are!
When you can do that, my friend, you will
Realize you are fully a star,

If wise, one learns to grow up here.
To develop your craft, there is nothing and 
nobody here to fear.

If no comments show, let it be,
Just keep writing and one day, you will grin,
When you get your first POTD.

Definitely use forms, this gives you
great power.
From this site or any other.

Ask for specific comments, this helps
you most.
Please do not forget you created your poetry coast,
Your poetry is always, always, the foremost!

Takes eleven years...a good poet to be!
I am not one, just look and see.

Have a sense of humor, it’s OK to just
get a comment or two.
People-have family, jobs,illnesses and things
to do.

Love your poem, love yourself.
Even if ignored, God sees your work.
And smiles at it there, on the moonlit.
walnut shelf!

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 10/14/2021 8:35:00 AM Hi Pangie,, Yes God sees everything and wants us to enjoy whatever it is we do and if we are a poet, we connect with Him often , he knows us all very well, that should be enough for us. Great message you send out here Pangie mou, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/15/2021 8:48:00 AM Jennifer mou... how well said! Better we be in God’s favor than the multitudes.Hope that makes sense. And love and respect each other. Such fabulous people like you...here! Love, Panagiota. Thank you for being you,

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/13/2021 2:09:00 PM Such a heavenly thought in the last stanza. And it's the pure Truth. Something for me to keep in mind and ponder -- That's for sure. Thanks, Pangie. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/14/2021 2:27:00 AM Gershon, that last stanza is powerful ..,I am so glad you got it! I was listening to Hativka tonight, wow! Moving.+ Pangie.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/13/2021 12:50:00 PM I enjoyed this read and also the comments people made below. We are all so different in what compels us to write and in what we want out of being here. It's "all good" as they say. But I love how authentic you are and true to yourself, Pangie. I notice this poem is for those who fret. I think I stopped fretting very much a long time ago. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/14/2021 2:37:00 AM Andrea, I know you well, you do fret))) about significant things. Poets have shared this nonsense about not having comments. I find it unethical for me to comment only so I get one. I will ask people once in a great while. I try to be authentic. I don’t buy into that phrase It’s all good. Elena uses it also)))) being way older, I know we are, as a world, at a turning point. You know exactly what I mean. Pangie...

Joe Dimino Date: 10/13/2021 11:55:00 AM I think, any poem written is risky -- therefore, daringly brave! Kudos! Then comes the sharing...reaction is entirely the privy of the reader.... God bless all, whether approval or disdain...my preference, of course, vociferous praise. A little compassionate lie now and then, is OK with me. "Have a sense of humor, it’s OK to just get a comment or two. People-have family, jobs,illnesses and things to do." Tender and sound advice!

OK to tell me exactly what you think, you have my enail addy. Just tell me. Posting here has to be nice nice only, I understand why. Some mea people here. I am nowhere near what I want to be. I never will be. Panagiota

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 10/13/2021 7:21:00 AM Hello Panagitoa, there are a lot of poems read without comments. I have noticed this a lot. Yes love your poetry after all you created it. Be proud of what you have done. After all it was creat3d by you. Nicely done Panagiota. Hugs. Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 10/14/2021 10:29:00 AM Hello Panagiota, I need to get a list of what my nephew's and nieces are asking for Christmas, before i can shop. Once I know I will shop. Hugs. Panagiota Romios Date: 10/14/2021 2:45:00 AM What a terrific response, Darlene. You hit all points. Christmas is coming. Shop now ...there may be shortages... Merci mon ami, Panagiota

Madelyn Mckay Date: 10/13/2021 5:04:00 AM People may read poems but never comment. They may carry something special with them from a poem but the poet may never know. The poem may cause them to act. On the other hand, they just may carry that special something l that tugs at their heart strings quietly. Thank you for all your poetry. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/14/2021 2:24:00 AM People have time limits, Madelyn, Reread the last line of the poem. If one writes for comments, how sad that is. Thanks Pangie
