Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Have No Fear

                           Have No Fear

When I was girl, in Catholic primary school,
I dared not question a thing, I thought how uncool! 
But as I grew, I met immensely brilliant, guiding  folk.
They gave my mind, atomic, gigantic welcome, jolts! 

Those jolts still live and shine brightly in me today.
I never reverted again to create things in others’ ways.
And,,,so i no longer go sniffing like a pup for approval.
No pats on my head, no~ it is all outer drivel!


I feel like a bird, freed from a rusty, old cage..
I learned self-acknowledgement is truly God’s page!
Stand up for yourself, I am not kidding.
Writing to please others is a false and dull bidding.

Poets may avoid you,  do count that as a huge win!
You were not created to be another’s poetry twin.
Make a difference with your valuable words…
Sometimes, they may have to be used as swords.

Stand up, be brave, we only go around life once
Stand for good, may your words,fill the air with a punch!

Danny Derden September 20, 2025 at 11:21 AM Empowering. This poem is a declaration of artistic independence and personal awakening.

Krishika Upadhyay September 15, 2025 at 8:04 PM This is empowering and bold. The message of self-acknowledgment, courage, and using your voice resonates strongly. Thank you for sharing this with us. Panagiota Romios September 16, 2025 at 8:43 PM To Kristina, with apologies! I don’t know how as an early commentor you ended up as one of the last! I never saw that before here at poetry soUp. There’s a lot I never saw here before saw here before.. that grieves me. Like you, I agree. But there were things I had to attend to like the future of the freedom of Americans.. too many of my country men are willing to wreck this country for madmen.

Gershon Wolf September 14, 2025 at 9:41 AM Especially love these two images, P: 'atomic, gigantic welcome jolts' and 'sniffing like a pup.' Excelsior! ~ Gershon Panagiota Romios September 16, 2025 at 8:26 PM Hi G! So glad you likeed those images, tomes are sad for those aware in many countries. I feel as though my hearrt is breaking,sorrt to answer solate.. Pangie

Linda Alice Fowler September 11, 2025 at 8:37 AM Nicely done Pangie my friend. Be true to oneself!! One of the may things I appreciate about your friendship. :) Panagiota Romios September 11, 2025 at 1:34 PM Hi Linda, having No Fear also makes me weird to other poets)). Individuality is OK if you are Woke or do not make waves. In our current society, made of soup, traditional vales are to be replaced. Not by me., i am odd.)) Pangie, thank You.

John Read September 11, 2025 at 7:03 AM I agree dear Pangie, believe in yourself and never change your ways for someone else, just follow the pathway of truth, and never use hate as your muse. God bless. Panagiota Romios September 16, 2025 at 8:33 PM Late comment to a dear ! , john, i am alwats willing to grow. I do not have a client sedmind. The roar of the crowd teaches us nothing. Nor our crowds a friend.. nor are they wise. I know where to find wisdom.. become from those who are wise and Mick. Not from egocentric’s beaks!))) Pangie

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 10, 2025 at 9:55 AM Dear Pangie, Reading it felt like getting a jolt of courage and to stand tall, speak boldly, and laugh at anyone who tries to cage us. It’s inspiring, fun, and leaves me pumped to face the day with a little more fire. Yeah! Blessings, Dear Pangie, Daniel Panagiota Romios September 10, 2025 at 2:00 PM It’s odd Daniel. When one acts as I suggested, a lot of good can be done. And when we write with hate, harm can be done,, so you poets who hate, stop it,your pen is a gun, you inpire death! Innocent people could die, insult your self first. Daniel turn on the news, fox, and avoid liberal news who are cheering at assaniation, I think of PA last July. Never write hate poetry, i am upset, Daniel. Many here will cheer death, it is sickening, love, Pangie speak with truth,

Elena Eagle September 9, 2025 at 1:03 PM A great poem for today. Very creative and great recommendations for us all. Panagiota Romios September 9, 2025 at 1:15 PM Hi, Maria, Right on! If we do not start fighting back, we will lose our freedoms across the free world! But I know how it is here, famous poets spoke out. Some of their works are banned. Wow. Like Whitman’s Leaves of Grass? It will not be a world of doggies, donuts and demnimdenim. If our government sells . Us out. Most news channels sell out to a Woke world,,,who knows! I am not a Communist nor a Fascist. And will do all I can to keep the USA free. Pangie xx
