Be who you regally are,it might make people faint! No need to match them,with social grease paint. Each us are so superbly crafted,just look around. Colors,hair types,body shapes,all do abound. For everyone of us,at times life can be so tough. Now that is the opportune time to strut your stuff! “Dive for your dreams,” e.e.Cummings has said. It’s time to be you, not hide under your bed. We only have so much time-on this earth. Yes, you can be you, with joy and endless mirth. 6/28/2023

Yaaa! So glad you did! Where does the time go! Nowhere! Our days are numbered. My Mom lived to be 88, and the MDs always wanting me to starve her! I fought them tooth and nail.I said…you do not know her strength. The MDs died before she did! Bless you today. Pangie

A lot of good advice here, and the poem really flows! Great work!

Hello Paige, I try to tell people I do not give advice, it sounds like it, does it not!? I am not wise at all, just sharing in my poems from my heart …and real life experiences! I do like the flow of the poem I like it! Pangie

"Do you ever feel the uncontrollable urge to let your hips and arms go free and skip merrily about the job site?" When I was Ironworking I would often ask this question in the midst of extremely "important" moments as I skipped away, tools clanging on my tool belt. SKIP ON PANGIE, IF ONLY ACROSS THE PAGES

John! Impressed you were an ironworker! Skipping with tools! Quite anazung, yes, I have to skip on, when emotions get the best of me. I will have my poems removed by my daughter after I die.I prefer a private wake Nor do I want my picture on the homepage when I am dead. This is a site for the living, Thanks, Pangie

Superb and positive. I'm in too much pain to enjoy life. But you continue with your positive thoughts. It helps.

Victor I do understand how you feel. It’s 3 o’clock in the morning in the USA or so I will say a prayer for you before I go to bed and tomorrow and pray you receive comfort from the Lord thank you for supporting me. I really appreciate it more than you know. God, please heal Victor very soon, Pangie ****

Dynamite positivity, Pangie... Just one question. How do you strut if you can't even walk?! ... I'll leave it to the up-and-comers- to strut. I'll just record it. Deal?! lol. :) gw

Well, “Plato”.. think of it as a Koan ….for you, anyway. ))) By the way ATTN all poets, I broke my leg 2 years ago, 5 months of therapy and I CAN WALK with a rollator. Plato, you need to read up on what strutting your stuff means.I do mean for poets to tell their truth about this world. I know how hard that is to do. We might lose readers. So what? I lost many already. I am shocked anyone can stand me. You are one of the last poets I wrote a tribute to who still reads me. The others disappeared, like ghosts.)))) When I do my bicycle exercises, will dedicate them to you. Need a video of me walking? Let me knows . Pangie.

Bob, dear friend and great poet…great limerick writer as wll. Such great words to my ear. I do see for decades now, people hiding under their beds, these days, the Right better shut up as they have been branded all manner of names.The Left believes it all. Like anyone Conservative needs to be censored or killed. Say what? I am old enough to remember politics being politics, not the The Religion of the Day! ! I only am speaking for me..not you. Pangie

I’d love to create a dust storm with you Pangie, but there’s too many miles between us for any hanky-panky. Belle :)

You know Belle, I see these qualities in you. You are incredibly you. Add a ton of pizazz and beauty to boot! .Most of all…an absence of poetic superiority-wish we lived near each other I know you have a sense of humor. We could create a dust storm as a team, LOL. Pangie’s my name~moving people to think..is my favorite game!

Indeed. Do THAT. I watch AGT the other night and someone sang a song they created and the last line says: I am daughter of a King. We are all God's children deserving of this

Panagiota Romios
Date: 6/28/2023 1:27:00 PM

Hi Andrea, I am glad you heard them saying that. We are all God’s children that’s true but you know there are a lot of creeps out there! Up to no good. I meant just for good people not for the creeps. I hope they find God.. Pangie

Thanks , liked it, and I am unafraid to say that. I don’t like all my writings. Some i I am very attached to this is one of them has good rhythm and verses. I can’t say that about all of them.. this one is very dear me. Pangie
