On Being Genuine

               On Being Fully Genuine      Sometimes, a lonely portal can it be,      But, bears a huge gift, called integrity.      People who have it, are my speed.       Providing glints of joy in my day.      Encouraging to be myself, all the way.       Their wisdom, precious and so divine.       Blessing each passing second of my              time.       Thus, enabling me to fearlessly be me      in all my rhymes.       Thank you for the gifts you are,       You, who shine as my poetry star!                             June 24, 2020                        5am PST Poem # 1, 310

Poets need support as life has a way of affecting poets more deeply than most, imho. Yes, you write beautifully and with such sincerity and heart my friend. That some wish to downgrade others is the way of this dark world. We are lucky to have you here giving of your time and your talent my friend. A fav... God bless..

Supporting and encouraging each other, isn't that what it says to do. No one expects war and peace but just one line will suffice, or is that too much. Tom

Righto! Some, not all Poets, somehow think taking is everything. They don't know the joy of giving at all. I wishIhad an answer, Tom. Leaves me dumbfounded. Panagiota xoxo

Keep shining, fearless poet! Nothing better than just being yourself. Those who agree ,will, and those who don't, respect is always the key. Poetry is subjective in every way, but we can still support one another. Blessings, Rhonda xx
