Anthony Bianco Poet Free verse

Panagiota

Panagiota is a whirling Galaxie.
With her blue thunder words.
A spirit like black diamond lightning.
She bruises the clueless and ignorant.
Not out of hate but of love.
Not with a brass-knuckled fist but with pearled wisdom
Layered around grains of life's relentless grit.

Her words are not fanciful or minty...
They're always stained with the talon of truth.
She crushes the weak-minded and the oblivious.
With her Olympian soul and rose-scented boots.
She fears nothing and never spares the rod of truth.
While weaving a spirited ink to her parchment heart.
Atop enchanted moonbeams, she lances pit vipers and tangos with God.

John Watt December 31, 2022 at 8:40 PM Anthony, I love this homage to Pangie, especially the line "pearled wisdom layered around grains of life's relentless grit". She is a treasure house of life's experiences and wisdom. We are very blessed to have her gifts and personality to flavor the Soup! Well done, poet, and thank you Pangie for all you give to this community ~ John

Robert L. Hinshaw December 26, 2022 at 6:50 AM Anthony described your take on life and poetry to a T, Pangie! I like it! Even when life gets ruff; You take absolutely no guff! Keep enlightening us with your poetry. Happy New Year - Bob H Panagiota Romios December 27, 2022 at 2:11 PM Exactly Robert. I wondered if anyone here really gets the point of my pietry. You, Anthony, and others listed below do.i don’t know if I enlighten anyone, I do try to wake people up..so much nonsense we are told. No truth. Just propaganda. And social media stinks. Glad Musk is around. Showing Twitter to be the liars they were. End of that. But CNN will try to extinguish freedom at all costs.add all newspapers, and radio channels. Happy New Year… Panagiota xxoo

Panagiota Romios December 25, 2022 at 9:41 AM Omg, Anthony. You blew me away. This is so beautiful. You are the Star on my Christmas Tree. No I don’t spare the Rod and have been chastised for it. Even misunderstood mightily. You make me grateful. I have thought daily of leaving the Soup. I am no wordsmith, for one. But I love the awesome friends I have here. You have encouraged me to trust people. And communication from planet earth is my thing. Thank you and my valued friends here. Christmas hugs, Panagiota xo

Gershon Wolf December 8, 2022 at 3:54 PM Nice tribute, Anthony. Right from the heart and soul. Panagiota Romios December 25, 2022 at 10:08 AM Dear Gershon… Anthony wrote this quite well. I never think of myself as hot stuff here. Just a scribbler of my deepest feelings. I have been open in all my poetry And been told to not be myself? Impossible.))) Panagiota xx

John Lawless December 8, 2022 at 10:01 AM Let the dance begin....I can picture Pangie leading.... Panagiota Romios December 25, 2022 at 10:03 AM Funny one, John. At a Greek Festival, in my wild days in Chicago..I actually did lead a Greek line Dance of almost 100 Greeks. One of the best memories of my long life. Panagiota xo
