On Winning

On the pillow, rests my ear. Filling with salty, joy-filled tears. Grateful rivulets for the poetry I’ve done. A gift from God’s only Son. I have no picture of myself, as some poetess divine,. Nor in a race with anyone, to hold a trophy that sparkles and shines. Because my life is a proven, record of outstanding wins. I leave this game to others. who most deservedly, should take a spin! 12/4/2022

Writing poetry as you do my friend will always be read and just the self worth we all find in putting our thoughts down on paper and compiling a wonderful read for others, is a reward in itself. You have a unique poetic talent Panagiota, and your poems always reflect an altruistic character. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

I am not a fat head or stunned by my poetry. Some like it, some do not and so what! I do not live my life to please, to out do, to show off. Do I? It’s just me. Feedback helps, for sure. Being me works best. I could write in a notebook and forget being here. BUT THEN. I would not see others works! I really am far from a top notch poet. Thank you JENNIFER Mou! Love, Panagiota k

Pangie, I'm glad you are able to find joy in the poetry you have written, because that is what is most important. To look back on a poem one has written and smile, or to read what comes out of your heart into poetic words with a sense of wonder and gratitude, yes these are gifts of God's only Son. Hopefully we are able to give others joy with our poems as well, that is worth more that a thousand contest wins, trophies, or POTDs. You write with such heart and soul, that is what makes you great, in my book anyway. God bless you ~ John

I guess I don’t write that well. Not In this anthology. All those poems for nothing? Not really. all what you said was true. others and myself liked them. This year, no more showing my soul. I got stabbed by many here .Poems go in a noebooknow. The nicest thing, John was to see my poem used aIn a church Service...nothing better. I stopped reading POTDs. The meanest souls, aka bulies are there. Frankly it is nauseating, they know who they are. Fangs for teeth. ))) Eddie’s GPA 3.75. He starts baseball tonight in HS.
