Made Up

I know very little 
about so much. 
And what I don't know 
I just make up.

John from the poem, I say that you described ,most on this planet! LoL. When did you ever hear a poet say they didn’t know something. They know it all. Am I wrong?. Could be. They know everything about psychology, human relationships God, no God, peace or you nameit, If that’s so then why is this world so crazy?. The poets sould run the world?It would be even crazier than it is.. I am one of them so that’s why I say that, how many poets are humble? The dead ones.)) they seem to act like gods. Love, Pangie xoxo Ps,, this a correction of an earietl post. Golly, had too many errors.

Hi Pangie, I'm now in my seventies and I'm still learning, I do believe poets and politicians are similar, they both live in a fantasy world lol.

Dear John, Thats the smartest way to go, sometimes we have to go with the flow in this manner, somethings and somedays, can be just a confusion that we ride with confidence! Pleasure reading you today! Iv noticed your quotes and you are so good at them! They should be published somewhere for many to get inspired from. Sending you light always
