Heroine On a Hill

10/21/2033


The serene sunset at my back.
The realization, I reached the top,
And, in completion, that was that.

The acceptance of my life as it is.
No bloody need to prove I was best.
Such divine completion, sans explanation.

The sun had gone, first star winked at me.
Soft, warm, winds rustled my wild hair
Of this poetic heroine, high on a hill!

Anonomus Scorpio Date: 10/23/2023 8:21:00 PM Not quite certain you've experienced the actual effects of heroin, the distant 10,000 ft visualization is not entirely inaccurate. As someone who has witnessed the devastating effects this particular concoction can play on one soul. You have accurately displayed a non-cognizant view of what the drug can do. More than just a little bit interested. O wait you speak of a heroic female my bad. A.S. P.S. just messing with you a bit lol I love the read, but I have experience the other side of a heroin Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2023 9:06:00 PM You need to look up in any dictionary as to what HEROINE means..ASAP. ))) Pangie

Susan Lawrence Date: 10/23/2023 6:20:00 PM Hello dear Pangie ! I love your words of acceptance, gratitude , completion and celebration with the warm winds rustling through your hair ! Cheers to you dear poetic heroine ! Hugs to you . You are an inspiration. Love, Susan :) Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2023 6:54:00 PM Hi talented poetess. You do have a magical way with words that I must say, I do admire. What a comment, it moves my soul. It is not a rubber stamped type! Honestly, as poets….we owe each other more than primary school linguistics. I find those insulting. I am not a first grader, Susan. I have had angelic people in my life that got me to be where I am. You know thar phrase, “ touched by an angel?” There were 100s in my life, you are a newborn angel in my life. Thank God, for you. Love, Panagiota

Paul Callus Date: 10/23/2023 9:17:00 AM You have done what you had to do, dear Pangie, and you don't have to prove anything to anyone! After a long journey we have a right to rest on our laurels :) ~ Best regards // paul Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2023 1:37:00 PM I thank you, Paul! My journey has been 86 years almost and one of learning each year, blessed with humble mentors who lit my path! I had an MD visit today, and he read one of my poems aloud, it was a humorous one. Both he and the nurse were cracked up.most poets here did not get it. Poetry aloud makes more sense. Love, Pangie

Victor Buhagiar Date: 10/23/2023 2:07:00 AM A poem to admire. Great imagery is achieved in simple soothing tome. Blessings. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2023 1:28:00 PM Thank you great poet! Victor, youe words always embrace my soul. Bless you. Love, Pangie xx

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/22/2023 8:14:00 PM Wow! What a poem! What memorable lines P: 'Such divine completion, sans revelation.' ... 'The sun had gone, first star winked at me.' ... This is going straight into my FAVES. Masterful, my friend!! ~ Gershon Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/23/2023 1:26:00 PM Go grateful,, you are on my life! For multiple reasons, Baruch Hashem, you are a spiritual light for me. You have helped see the twinkling star, and reach it from afar in my soul. Bas Noa’ch, Pangie

Michelle Faulkner Date: 10/21/2023 8:59:00 PM Love your metaphor of climbing the hill to self acceptance, also the imagery of the first star winking at you- Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/22/2023 4:31:00 AM Thank you,Michelle. Also, among the big name female poets here, you are the only one whoever reads me…I have tried reading other star poetesses here,but they make it a point to ignore me. Four years of this?I don’t try anymore. Males are not like this. I don’t have “ the bloody need to prove I am best.” My mentor is not from this group and has over 50 books at Amazon. He is humble as that first twinkling star! Pangie xx

Elena Eagle Date: 10/21/2023 7:00:00 PM A very inspirational poem for today. Great job. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/22/2023 4:16:00 AM Thank you Elena. I may seen unfriendly these past two weeks to others, but Americans and Europeans…..alike seem numb to the slaughter on this planet in progress and back killers. Hard for me to pretend that killing is taking place. Far worse, the stupidity, that it won’t happen here?? Fascism is accepted a normal. Pangiexx I don’t know how to write poetry that refuses th accept our untomate loss of freedom and our possible deaths,
