Love and Happy Birthday- Robert Lindley





You stood by me through thick and thin.
In days when few comments, were coming in.

You saw in me a poet, possible.
That belief from you, made things, accessible.

Grand talent you are, so very unappreciated.
For you, I wish the best, so poetically educated.

Happy Birthday special friend.
Your fine, classical poetry I do commend!

With love and best wishes,
Panagiota

Right on. Robert impresses me. He is not here to collect prizes or accolades. He shares much individually and in his blogs. I am new to poetry and have learned from him.... Thank you for commenting. Panagiota xx

Hi Robert, I think he knows already who it is~ or maybe not? I realize I am not Miss Trophy here. That doesn't matter to me. I know others love it. I prefer a few close friends here over that. I have had my time on stage in theater. It was stupendous. Here, in Poetry is one of the last bastions of free speech to wake all up, not lull them into a dream world of dancing sunflowers.)) Such as the WOKE people banning books and movies, that might offend someone. How un-American! How pro-like Fascists~ Some have become. Hitler wanted to clean up the world...these are scary times, Robert...Panagiota
