Thank You, Dearest Poets All

With special acknowledgement to: Jennifer Proxenos! “Thank You, Dearest Poets All” We all differ in our poetic skill. Be kind to new poets as you don’t know lifestyles or..if people are ill! We just forget new poets have souls. And we chase the polished poets~as if made of expensive 14k gold? You gave me a chance to express myself. If not, these poems would be, just shreds of paper on a lonely, wooden shelf. No, I don’t seek prizes or trophies, it’s just not my thing. My freedom...,,...is what makes me sing!! And honestly, I can’t stay up replying day and on a moon filled night. I’m a long replier, for me, that’s out of out of sight. And so, each day, I post as much poetry as I can! This practice is joy, you will never know......how I dig it man! Don’t weep if you are one, who does not have hundreds of repliers!! I never had many~but the few I do, are true friends. And..best of all...are.... ‘frequent flyers.’ This poetry writing is the best the thing! It’s like a magic doorbell, that makes my soul Go....‘ding-a-ling’! I found myself in the Poetry Soup Anthology. Much better than a professor giving you an A in university biology! Never dreamt anyone’d write a tribute to me? But my Greek sister did and thank you, so much dearest Jenny! She’s a fabulous poet, a friend you might agree. When she wrote that tribute, after I broke my thigh and my knee. I still hobble all over the house. But I tell you what, I got over being a poetry mouse! POTD’s are a pure piece of joy from the sun. But unless you write, you will never get one! With love and gratitude to all, Panagiota Romios Welcome to all new poets! Jenny is Jennifer Proxenos (Marvelous Poetess) Poem Referred to is: “ For Pangie” Written in UC Davis Trauma Hospital 11/11/2021 Posted 3/7/2022

Thank you Pangie! It is so important to welcome new poets! I remember when I joined PS Caren, Connie and Line made me feel welcome with encouragement. I have tried to do the same as I know you have. Your message is so important - a reminder to be the words of love and encouragement. Thanks for sharing all that you do. Still in my prayers!

SAM, THANK YOU for reading me. I was able to walk on my front deck for the first time today. WOWSER., what I noticed at PS, is older writers getting neglected in favor of the new? That’s silly! Get busy poets and have a mix. Both new and older poets! Thanks for prayers. Thigh and knee broken in November. March now! Still in physical therapy. Doing my best....thanks Sam hugs Pangie

Everyone who writes poetry will be read when they participate and read other poets. I remember the first time I came here. I visited a hundred poets and only ten commented back to me. I hope new poets won't lose hope. they need to realize that the more they visit others, the more they will also be read. That what we all want here, just to have our words read and hopefully enjoyed. Great tribute to poets and to dear Jennifer. I'll have to check out her poem for you

I will let new poets make up their minds. It’s the least of curtesy to respond. I would have commented far more..till I was asked. ARE YOU HERE TO WRITE POETRY OR GET REPLIES?? Our families will die one day, or our animals or us! Like Carolyn or my cousin, Madelyn. Madelyn lived her life to the full. Not hunting people to love her. I never knew Carolyn. Being with others, calling, or emailing is quite impactful. But I speak for me, only. I have a long way to go on forms. I do mean classical only. Hope you read Jenn’s poem. And thanks for our email friendship that ended. Sorry, my hotmail sends two Emails. Drives me nutty. I don’t on purpose double email anyone. Pangie

A beautiful/wonderful/tribute write. Love it. A "Thank You," to Panagiota, Jennifer and all. By reading/writing to each other we make us better writes. I say 'Thank You" for that. I also found myself in the Poetry Soup Anthology new book. What a thrill that was. The prizes/trophies are nice but true friendship is really the prize. Have a great/blessed day writing away...........

Paula! You got that right....friendships are the most. I don’t know if I became a better writer because of writing. Anthologies are to collect cash for PS, I wrote it in the poem for fun! I hardly think I am a stupendous writer. Once I saw my name, it was, so what...POTDs are far more fun. I have a long way to go. poetry is not fishing for friends, at least that’s how it is for me. But I can say this is where I started, my advice is still the same. DID YOU COME HERE TO WRITE POETRY? OR DID YOU COME HERE TO COLLECT COMMENTS..Tend to our real lives and families first..That is the only way to live a full life AND be a great poet. Thank you for replying to this especially. I know your love jas been returned by many. Pangie
