Goal Reached-One Thousand




Goal Reached ~One Thousand Poems

Dropping by with a bottle of champagne.
Hoping you don't mind if I come in from the rain?

Wanted to thank my small, but grand group of followers.
I give each of you a bouquet of gorgeous, fragrant flowers.

I wanted to reach the goal of 1000 poems tonight.
And, I tell you doing that was both murder and delight

I realized, too, my poetry is never one-liners.
I won't apolize, here, just think a little longer is finer!

And also, three cheers to PS Administration 
They do a great job~without them,how could we
communicate in such poetic perfection?

Remember the day you first came here?
So, do have some bubbly and to all, three Grand Cheers!

With love and respect 
Panagiota "1,000"

Oy! Is all I can say. LOL. Gershon, I am truly exhausted. Yes it's a journey as you said. Personally I have been through highs and lows. And realize growth is anything but instant. The close friendships here keep me going. You, dear poet, are one of them...Panagiota xx

Dear David~ Merry Christmas, David! I welcome new readers. Please do read some of my earlier poems, too. They cover a variety of subjects on the joys and sorrows of being a human! Flights into worlds of fantasy are the expertise of other poets. Heavy imagery ..not from me. Not good at that. Soup me please anytime to read any of your work you want me to see. From my heart to yours, always, Pamagiota. A reply is a gift. Thank you for your generosity, time and unique gift. Panagiota

Hellooo..Krish...it was and I won't be humble anymore. 1000 poems typed with one finger. No PC and no big screen. I do feel like a marathon runner. And to you Merry Christmas. Soupmail me please if you write a poem you want me to see. OK? Thanks Panagiota Now I can use my exercise bike and post New ones at the same time.))

Wow, Panagiota, you are such a prolific writer, congratulations. By my calculations, I won’t reach 1,000 until June 2027. Have a merry Christmas my friend. Hugs, John

And you, my friend, are a magician with words, beauty and matters of the heart, especially. Highly gifted. I consider you one of the masters here, who I stand in awe of. Numbers do not mean greatness. You and the "Pen of Gondolf" are not only great, but possess the quality of Humilty.A second gift! Wow from Panagiota.

I find more and more fantastic poets here each day, And you, FANTASTIC FAVOUR, are one of them. Love, Panagiota
