Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

Poets In Denial

Sing ye poets of stunning birds and butterflies wings.
Kiss ye, your own,Muse pen, on divine parchment, scribblings!

Ride in gentle winds upon your colorful, faux unicorn
Your hair flies in the wind, soft as the new dawn.

Speaking of love, oh, tis so divine,
But the slaughter of the unborn…is fine?

Madness runs poetry, our lost souls shrink.in literary brine.
Heralding to all, that all the world is fine??

Ye run like sheep when a poem addresses a human evils and wrong!
Instead, you prefer jokes and applause from the gigglimg throng !

Is this all we are, in a world so vile?
I have read many poems here,far too many smiles? 

A head from a body chopped off in Nice?
I find no poem about it, just gleeful pages 
poetic fleece.

To Olympus should be our chosen.grand banter.
Why do we prefer trophies and empty chatter!

To reality, we keep the door fiirnly shut.
As if we can hide from evil, alas. tut-tut!

I wrote this three years ago. And I do not recall the beheading story 
of the woman in Nice. I do know the world is in a catastrophic space
right now. More so that three years ago! Not only the Uktaine

R J. Elless June 4, 2023 at 9:25 AM Pangie, You are Rolling Down hill. Fabulous poem. If we can not speak the truth, Then what is the point.Sometimes the truth hurts. However that doesn't change the facts. I'm faving this one as well.xx Panagiota Romios June 4, 2023 at 1:36 PM RJ! Thank you again. FAVING two in a row by you. I am blessed. I am far from what I hope to be. I don’t man a trophy winner or beloved!..I just mean to connect on deeper levels with deep poets who know life demands more! Poetry is no carnival of clowns. I admire anyone who knows this, poetry is not just technique, Poetry is deep soul richenes. Merci, RJ. Xx

Bill Baker June 2, 2023 at 2:25 PM Tell it like it is, thanks for your poetry, Pangie. A poet friend in Texas, Bill Panagiota Romios June 3, 2023 at 9:46 AM Bill. The news won’t tell us the truth,fine, we can write of the world or let it collapse. Thank you for supporting me Jesus, himself,as you know was involved in stopping evil.thus He was slain. ..I can’t write about insignificant things. A poet is not above politics. We must speak out, yes,I know one will not be read if we do this. Too bad, I am here to makes difference. Panagiota xx

I Am Anaya June 1, 2023 at 9:22 AM Beautifully written, I love Old English. We are constantly thinking, in the back of our minds, what we see in the paper or the news on the internet and on the radio. It's everywhere, while some want to learn how to make types of poems, which have limited themes. I always keep myself politically informed. I do care! Your Sister~Anaya Panagiota Romios June 1, 2023 at 11:07 AM Hello Ayana. To live in a world and be politically dense is to bring upon our own destruction. Here is quote to all hiding in their flower pots. POETS ARE THE UNELECTED LEGISLATORS OF THE WORLD. WE can be quite powerful with our pens. I might write on a poem on this. Hugs plus. Pangiexx

Robert Lindley May 30, 2023 at 6:19 PM Yes, my friend the world is a dark and evil place. Always has been. Your fine poem points that out quite clearly too. A definite fav from me, as the verses are all very good! God bless..4AV Robert Lindley May 31, 2023 at 8:19 AM My friend, I try my best to ignore politics. It is such a dirty enterprise and getting worse every year. So many complete fakes in it, imho. God bless Panagiota Romios May 30, 2023 at 6:38 PM Hello dear one. So glad you are back. I do think you understand me quite well I honestly suffer…as other poets here do. That horrid desire to please and shelve my truth. It kills me to do that. I just don’t want to be a clown in a world of angst and travail. And with the GOP folding to the left, I am sad and angered. What happened to integrity and keeping your word? Is it all gone? We, the living, are all responsible for the future. I heard more excuses for evil today. Thank you for the read and the favorite. Know that many here love you.. Panagiota xx. Your kindness is quite overwhelming.Robert ))
