Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

La Ballerine Violette

Music of life, she alone, chooses.
Though a host others, think, she loses?


She tourjettes high, above life’s discords,
Leaps to Ravel’s melodious chords.


Loss and pain are her greatest gain.
Gratitude, raises her high above pain.


“Pavane for a Dead Princess”,how it moves her.
Adorned, in purple, in front of her gold, leafed mirror.!


Purple-satin toe shoes, tied around beautiful legs.
Her wish, to dance forever, of God, she begs!

Bill Baker February 7, 2023 at 3:54 PM Glad you got to have the dance experience. Ballet is a very difficult and graceful form. Thanks for sharing some of your experiences with us through your poetry, my dear friend.

It has been a magnicent journey before and now, with my friends here. Still have my ballet and toe shoes.i did tap dance and folk dance too. Dance is the love of my life… Pamagiota Xx

Gershon Wolf February 2, 2023 at 10:42 PM I believe that this is a reflection of you, Pangie. You will forever be 'Le Ballerine!' Panagiota Romios February 3, 2023 at 12:04 PM LOL..I was amiss in changing he title… Sorry. La is for a female ballerina.Le is for a male dancer. Apologies! But the words, are about my life! True! I don’t write about the deep agony I endured.. who cares? Panagiotaxxoo

Darlene De Beaulieu February 2, 2023 at 3:28 PM Hello Panagiota, a beautiful poem. I enjoyed to read. I visione her dancing. A joy to watch. Hugs. xxx Darlene/ Panagiota Romios February 9, 2023 at 3:13 PM Yes, I had all ages asking me to dance, no matter where I was, I do not know why, Elena and I went out one night to a club. All the young men askedmeto dance,those old dudes asked her. Attraction of opposite ages? I got married in City Hall. No reception, no dancing. Pangie Darlene De Beaulieu February 4, 2023 at 11:18 AM Hello Panagiota, you were lucky to be able to dance like that. I never did like the reception after the wedding. the food was fine. I never had anyone asking me to dance. So i listened to the music, and silently ask myself-"Why am I here?"Hugs./ Darlene/ xxx Panagiota Romios February 3, 2023 at 11:54 AM Hi Darlene, I, too love watching it! But performing is even better… even dances at weddings, I was never one to sit. It kills me that I cannot dance anymore! I did all kinds of dancing for decades. I shall remai grateful. Hugs, Panagiota ccc Darlene De Beaulieu February 3, 2023 at 4:37 AM Hello Panagiota, I like to watch ballet. I enjoy watching the beauty of the dance. HUgs. xxx Darlene Panagiota Romios February 2, 2023 at 4:31 PM Dancing well is akin to floating in the air. It’s a special time, forever cherished… so happy you. Liked it. Pangiota xoxo

David Kavanagh February 2, 2023 at 11:59 AM Poetry in motion Pangie, le ballerinas really do push themselves through the pain barrier, and make it look effortless with a smile, but hey you also gotta hand it to the gymnast gals doing a Tour Jette on the Beam, You’re on fire today, cheers David Panagiota Romios February 2, 2023 at 4:25 PM Your humility will be my star tonight!! Cheers Pangie David Kavanagh February 2, 2023 at 2:00 PM Exactly a lush memory that nobody can ever take away from you Pangie, I’m delighted I gave you a little spark, or a source to tap into, the rest is all your own creativity, cheers David Panagiota Romios February 2, 2023 at 1:17 PM Well, David, do take some credit. I, with all my heart, found….your poetry set off a fire within me. I cannot explain this at all!! But I sincerely thank you “On fire “is an outstanding compliment. Merci! I have no desire to be bland or ordinary. So let’s see what I can do tonight. Cheers from CA Panagiota xo PS. I actually did a solo ballet to the Blue Danube in purple toe shoes. My hair bedecked in violets and satin ribbons. Mmmm. What a lush memory,

Stephan McBride February 2, 2023 at 7:32 AM Beautiful poem, so gifted you are my friend, love it Panagiota Romios February 2, 2023 at 8:02 AM Hah, Stephan, little do I see me as gifted, I am but a beginner here, people here have been witting for decades before me. So,,,I have a long, long way to go…But with no lessons in poetry, I think I do my best. Sentences on paper are not poetry to me. I have to master meter and feet. But, I promise to do my best for now ..I can express myself, yes. Is is all poetry. I think not. Panagiota xo.
