Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

So Sorry, I Don'T Have Time

How often has a friend told you that line?
Each email, each call, they are always in a hurry.
Like mice making Cinderella's dress, forever in a scurry.
Do they really care, or dare to dream, that they and I, always will be fine?

And, especially now with Covid so terribly relevant.
There may be no tomorrow for our friends, nor or us.
Don't they understand that a grave maybe covering one or both of us?
We stand at the very precipice of our life's very end.

Do not communicate with those, forever in a hurry!
The frustration of being turned down, again and again, 
Bid them a final adieu, right there and then.
You will be free of the victim....excuse trip in a floral flurry!

Robert Pettit March 15, 2021 at 3:15 PM This must be your 2000th poem. You have reached a big milestone with this good entry. Panagiota Romios March 16, 2021 at 9:52 AM I made the2000 by my birthday. Robert....and all with one finger. I never learned to type. My long winded comments))) are longer than many poems here. I was glad to get this in a poetic form. Robert, don't know what my next goal is. Hope to learn classical poetry, a lot more! Best wishes. Pangie...3/18. 2,002. Only been here a little over two tears...

Robert L. Hinshaw March 15, 2021 at 10:09 AM It takes very little effort to spread love and concern for others. Very well said, Pangie Panagiota Romios March 16, 2021 at 9:33 AM Yes. Here we are. Many in lockdown or retired, but no time for another? It works out, Bob. There is always an angel in the wings for sure.that's my experience. PR Panagiota Romios March 15, 2021 at 11:46 AM Thank you. Pangie

Tom Cunningham March 15, 2021 at 9:07 AM Takes about a minute or less to type an email, done this in 40 seconds. No excuse. Tom Panagiota Romios March 15, 2021 at 11:50 AM Tom...have to differ..... With my 10wpm typing skill, age and vision...nothing goes at warp speed anymore. Wish things were otherwise....but Iam a turtle online. Apologies. Pangie
