Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

She Was Simple Aye

 


And believed people had integrity.
She took their words as verily true
The innocent fool, aye, she has much to rue.

That afternoon, in deep confusion cried,
As though her heart was gnawed by a rat.
She realized she had to live in mortal combat.

To trust never again another living soul.
Slam all windows shut, then chain the doors.
Her belief in her fellow man was never more.

That imbecilic fool, with mind made of mush.
We, here to crush you, making people think you be ill!
While we take joy, preparing your violet-lined coffin!
On a bare, ice-covered, windy, gray hill.

Linda Alice Fowler March 8, 2023 at 8:34 AM People could take all that hate, ire, and anger and focus on so many more positive things. Pity. :) Panagiota Romios March 8, 2023 at 9:41 AM Yes, well, so true, Linda the world was friendlier before the China virus, is my experience! Now? Tons of violence. It’s odd. The hate always aimed at the mild and good people. Gangs run the streets, even online sites! Posing as good folks online. Ya, right.I was taken in by them… Then duly disposed of.why? I expressed my opinions honestly.. Keep writing, Linda. Pangie xx

Gershon Wolf March 7, 2023 at 7:48 PM Gotta know when to punch 'em and when to munch 'em. (Kenny Rogers almost said that, right?) ~ Hold 'em or Fold 'em Panagiota Romios March 8, 2023 at 7:15 AM As usual, the Wizard of Words, strikes again. Love the Kenny Rogers one! ))) “Pangs with fangs”aka Pangie

Stephan McBride March 7, 2023 at 6:46 PM Indeed, many can't help it, they have fallen victim of this worlds blindness, being molded with hatred, division,greed , fruits from tree of satan, sad ain't it , can't trust none hardly Stephan McBride March 7, 2023 at 7:16 PM Indeed ,Kim is spot on, as are you my friend, this world is evil we just can't get caught up in it and fall in the trap :) take care , hope you are doing great, indeed it's a learning process to recognize the deception of mankind Panagiota Romios March 7, 2023 at 7:02 PM Indeed,Stephan. Did you see Kim’s comment? Below! It is spot on. It’s a learning process. Tha pride comes before the fall. Adoring man over God. The internet has bot good and evil peop,e, easy to masquerade online. Vanity is the worst. We can murder others behind their backs online. I don’t think god approves. Panagiota…too many false gods. Panagiota. Where has humility gone?? Panagiota

Darlene De Beaulieu March 7, 2023 at 2:45 PM Hello Panagiota, the last part of your poem is so sad. She did not trust her fellow man. Hugs xxx /Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu March 8, 2023 at 11:01 AM Hello Panagiota, Yes some friendships I had were phony. Now I have true friendships that last. My emails friends were pen pals. I only do one letter to a friend now. Thank you for the lovelycomment. Hugs /Darlene/ xxx Panagiota Romios March 7, 2023 at 3:05 PM Hello Darlene, Her problem was she could not tell true friend from false friend. I am sure you have had people be untrue to you. Those last two lines were meant for dramatic effect…….people are quite good at being phony. Especially on line. That is only my experience, yours might be otherwise. I really appreciate you, my friend. Hugs, Pangie xo
