~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Oh, I think about this each and every day, . The reasons are all silly and do vary! From thinking~I am not good enough? I have learned to grow here and be tough! The worst part, is you insult your readers, Do not expect them to be comment feeders! So many of them, no joke, I have lost! But ah, those who still are here, far make up the cost! 6/17/2024 Thank you to allwho stii read me! Especially five long years,bless you. Love and hugs, Pangie xoxo

Hi Lisa, i have no concept of nyself as a hood poet after all thhis time. Some I like, some, no.! I complained to one poet early on about lack of comments. She just asked me one question. “ did you come here to get Calen or ride poetry” I got her point, I will be 87 in March. Very hard now or comment. If you ever feel bad, there aren’t enough common at the number of reads for your poems. Hope you ha s a great Thanksgiving! Holiday Hugs, Pangie

Dear Pangie: I am glad you haven''t cut communication. I may not be the worlld's best at communicating lately but I try as best I can to return comments to any sweet poet that leaves one for me.My time has not been my own as you can see by my lack of new poems, Very sporadic. Looking after my sick Hubble. Keep smiling sweet poet friend. SuZ

Dear Suzanne, indeed it has been some time. Things occur in our lives and sopkease, no apologizing for the way things are. All we have is today! Yesterdays are like old newspaper…Tomorrow is a mystery, AND so just be here now! My Mom lived with us for seven years. Involve other family members to be involved, it is taxing to care for the ill. I dont write or comment much. My age and minor illness gets the upper hand. I exhaust easily, too. I found a great cummings poster, thanks to you! Pangie xx

I think friends are made on sites and so are enemies, we choose how to look inside our mirrors, I choose to see everyone in good light, you made a great point here, have a blessed day dear poet , :)

Thats a wonderful attitude Mystic~thank you for your POV, there are poets here who had to leave and are here under other names, i never did that. This site, nay, any site is like a city…it has a wonferdul popul and and some not kind. Jealousy is here acting like a sweet pussy cat, watch your back, this poem is testament to the good poets who supported me, and to my own stength and God’s love and care, plus my guarian angel.

I think most of us are civil. I sure do enjoy your poems, and I hope you keep writing. I will follow.

First of all, I wanted to thank you for your graciuos in comment. I don’t run around commenting to hundreds a day because I can’t type.at all, i only can hunt and peck. And I tell you it takes me forever.. plus I write long comments. And no, I can’t write five paragraph poetry because I would be here till Christmas. So you see what you get.. that’s the besti can do. I am never. In a hurry to befriend hundred of people.. what’s the point?

This piem, Hilda is a sequel to my poem Where ‘s Waldo? I think if people are going to leave, they should give notice to all their readers, especially those who are here every day on every page and suddenly they’re not here. I know they are not sick. I do know where they left now because it took a few of us to put it. Together.. but anyway a number of us feel quite used.. as we were treated as best friends when the fact was, we were not. In fact we’re being used for let’s say selfish purposes.. well that is happens when you trust people. we are like fish on a hook too late. We bowed the bait.

Hi Pangie, no idea why some poets turn off commenting. There’s so many poems posted daily it would take too much time to comment on every one, sad to say. When the muse is inviting, keep writing… Belle

I have no Muse, i wrote3,366 poems in 5 years, i type 0 words per minute. I hunt and peck)) And my comments are usually anything but the short.. I try to be meaningful, which is my mistake. I should have two words and leave it at that.. You know, I have enemies here. The point of my poem was about me to keep writing no matter what to become a better poet. I don’t need comments to be a better poet~that’s a skill that I have to work on. I know people can’t read everybody every day, Bery I have written many poems, encouraging people to get off-line and live life. I don’t think you ever saw them! Ty…Pangie. Lastly I am not here to be popular or win trophies. Thats for other poets. Pangiexx at eightie five,I have other things I choose to do, Poetry is not my life. God, truth, my family..are.

I will never understand it. I do know the reason why one woman does it. But as for others, they can always block people who pester them in comments. Good one, Pangie.

Well, if you sent me a poem, promses are I will answer it. I think people somehow think they can write letters on any subject but skip your poetry! I love letters but stop it IF you wont read me. Life on line ..what! We don’t see the poet, so they dont exist? Its almost like a graveyard of what once was! Even recent friends have the notion that I don’t see you so I can hurt Andrea it’s hard to be trusting here. I dont know who is Julius Caesar and who is the murderous Brutus? And the worst..those who were your close friends go poof? Disappear! I call that SICk ..or cruel and unusual punishment, But have no idea why,. So I do not ry, just keep going! Pangie.xx

I agree. There are many who do not allow anyone to comment on their poems. What I don't like is when no return comments are written.

Panagiota Romios
Date: 6/18/2024 9:31:00 AM

Well, Victor! You are a very prolific writer. Might I add, a dedication Not everyone has the same respect for other poets you do at all….I am glad and appreciative you read me. There are some who’d rather die than read me.ROFLMAO. And I don’t blame them.)) thank you. Pangie xx

Bless you back! I have missed you a lot. Its so hot here! We have a Roku box for streaming TV now and I really like it. Satellite was way too expensive.. you can even get YouTube on Roku. How cool is that? I know there are some poets that LA elsewhere that are on YouTube and I’d like to see them. I am on my iPad, but I mean I would like to see them fullscreen that would be a real trip. So God be with you, Eve and all that you do. Thank you again for that tribute you wrote I remember it thank you.. Pangie xx

Darlene, i never missed a day. There was a point I wrote ten every day even tho I broke my thigh and busted my knee. I was in hospital 30 days, even then I did TEN a day, i have slowed down. John wrote a truly creative comment. He even wrote more than two sentences. Amazing!Acaade Awards to John. I have other things to do now other than write or read .poetry. I write you and others daily , long lettereRemember I type 12 WPM. LOL PS and I was alive when WW ii was started )))) you have no idea how slow that is. Some people here type 100. I am here five years and am 6 of the top 100 ever posted PR.

AH, to comment or not to comment ... is that the question, whether 'tis better to remain silent than whisper in a poets ear a word, a phrase, a hint of envy, a passing chill,....what was the question again....keep on writin' Pangie....Ya don't catch a fish with every cast but ya gotta keep baitin' the hook....

Keep on writing, Pangie! I've never been at all concerned about comments and you shouldn't be either. I write what is on my mind and give no thoughts to ratings or what other people think - Bob H

I feel the same about about all poets.Grave ilness,I do understand that more. Suddenly disappearing and pulling all my poems, no! I think, do not come back here! Let’s say I were writing a book. Then, I sweetly return to market my book? Not kosher. I could leave a note at the very least not just for disappear! Poor marketing on gullible poets. Pangie xx
