Panagiota Romios Poet Blank verse

On Being In the First Anthology

Gratitude was my first reaction!
Then joy came skipping along
Humility hit me so very hard!
"Why me",hummed a loud tune
Then~I  realized, I was cradling 
and reading you under the light of   
a winter moonl
It was a warm, close feeling.
As if I were in a mosaiced ,windowed 
church at peace. 
So many, dear poets, I did not know!
Nonetheless, you made my soul full 
and with Christmas season's glow.
This is a thank you to the poets in it.
My poems are nothing compared to all 
the great souls in it,
So much more real you are to me.
By the fireside's light~ the best, loving,
creative community.

Richard Lamoureux December 12, 2020 at 2:18 PM Congrats on being part of the Anthology. A wonderful keepsake. Panagiota Romios December 12, 2020 at 2:28 PM Happy Holidays, Richard, It really is more fun to see others names I know. A book is warmer than technology. I am far from being a poet of note here. So, it surprised me that any made it")) It is a milestone in my life. It is hard for me to acknowledge myself! So happy you took the time to do so. Hugs, Pangie xx
