Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

La Danse De La Poesie

~~La Danse de la Poesie~~
   The Dance of Poetry

A great dancer knows, the pain and practice
Of stretching, all the body, every limb.
A great dancer never disses a great dancer
as a lesser being.
I will never be a Baryshnikov with divine
style and grace.
I am lucky, if I get my feet in first place!


I am but a beginning poet, like a dancer who, 
knows it's best to follow master poet's cues.

Without reading and knowing classic poetry,
I'm just a punk rock poet blowing my own horn. 
at the poetry tree.
Dissing past masters as ignorant will in no
way improve my performance.
No, not in the least.
So if I want to tour jate or batmanteaue,to
fly with art across the page to you~
The classic poets, indeed will I read.
And never insult them as lesser than me.
That's cutting my own poetic brain and
not allowing the fullness of my growth
In this grand terrain, we call, poetry.

David Mchattie April 18, 2019 at 10:02 AM We all live in the shadows of great people, with the chance if we are lucky and persistent, to build on what they have done. Have a great day my friend. Panagiota Romios April 18, 2019 at 10:46 AM Wow, you are so accurate. I was lucky enough or willing enough to listen and learn from mentors in all fields of life. I don't think I even deserved some of them. Nor why they put up with my annoying stubbornness. Despite myself, I leaned. What gifts they were...thanks David, Love, Panagiota

W.A. Cholt April 17, 2019 at 5:23 PM All can learn from the great poets, past and present. On the broad spectrum of poetry, we find our own unique voice. As Shakespeare said: To thine own self be true. Panagiota Romios April 17, 2019 at 5:28 PM Yes, indeed. The spectrum is so wide. As stated, am still learning and yes, finding my vice. Thank you for your Comnent and input. Forever valued, Panagiota,
