THE HOUSE ON ANGEL CLOUD LAKE

4/5/2025 On my picket fence, irritating, screeching black crows at me, do sounds, so fearlessly make! So having had it, I bought a lovely, pine cottage, on the shores of Angel Cloud Lake. There I will begin writing my book and yes, it already has an editor and a first custmer…….really is my heart’s secret song. I am committed to fine work,no matter how long! My mentor, in England, knows that penning truth is my passion, aware of both angels and devils, that do abound. As a fireplace blazes and sets my ideas, so logicallly sound. Oh, how many decades on doing this, I,with joy, finally found! I am reaching for the moon, not one to hide from truth, lest I pen beauty, be neath words of trivial muck and mire! Or, worse..to write poetry as soul touching, as a flattened, old tire? The world is full of classic poets, sadly loathed by the younger generation. Wherein poets like Shakespeare and Keats, do lie with their works, devoured by some, mad, popular poet- form infestation!. Panagiota Romios OPA! Dedication to Robert Lindley With my honor and love, to Robert Lindley! Though you are not writing at present, you saw something in me, that I did not see. I do not think I am great or stunning!…. But you told me that, “even though nobody would read me, to not let that stop me! I kept my word to him So thank you, Robert wherever you are.. I do miss you. And your impeccable poetry. And character. Love…Panagiota

Hello Darlene, thank God for Robert, you are so right! I am quite aware of negativity adored here as virtous, even the calls for muurder of an ethnic group. So,I have NO space for that, nor can I bear those who deny reality, there ARE growing So I can read limited amounts, I know what hated is here! It is not good for me to read here long! We need to judge our poems now, normally than ever, as life is precious not garbage! The news has poisoned all nations! Lindley saw that long ago. He knew a lot about what goes on here, I wouldn’t come back either. Too vicious!! Your poetry is not hateful..you have a soul that is refreshingly bright.as star…...Pangie

Hi my friend, I particularly love the contrast between the picket fence and the screeching crows, symbolizing irritation, and the peaceful escape you seek. And, your kind words to Robert are especially touching. I enjoy your work, Pangie, and look forward to buying and reading your book. -Mickey G.

Hi,Mickey! I am glad to know that you caught the imagery and how it and liliting commenntingto what I am doing now. I am not writing as much or commenting much so I can write the book. It eats time. But, I am not doing so for anyone, its a challenge plus, I explained that in the poem.)) however, I am so pleased you clearly showed an interest in it. You just put wind in my sails.love you~ Pangie xx

How sweet Paula, I just realized that Robert and my mentor in England are so much alike! Never even thought of that, before. Yes indeed., was very special to so many here. For me, he was a girl.. there are several people here who are guardian angels to me and they know it and I know it. So God bless all of them.. I happened to post you and then my left side came back and my comment was gone. Spooky huh? No, I didn’t enter it. I know that.. but I have seen this half on location and I don’t know why. I don’t care I’m enjoying my life. Love, Pangie

Yes, Tom, only a kind and good heart as yours, would credit Robert. He was quite honest with me about his frustrations here. The Pretentiousness that grows here as mushrooms in a dark human forest, disguised as virtue, ugh~bless all who are genuine here and not out penning about other poets in poems on this site. I think it is fine to write to a poet and tell them what your issues are.. but to deal with a group and write a poem against a poet is quite unethical. Pangie

Hi Pangie, let me know the title of your book when it's finished, I would love to read it. xx

Hi. John. I am sorry being late on responding! Thank you for having faith in me. A dear friend who has since passed away,suggested this idea 25 years ago! I thought she was bonkers. I have learned a lot sice then. And I dont mean only poetry, we assume just because a poet says something,,,it must be true?? No. Having some humility works. And questioning universal statements works. Will send you my first copy, hope it brings jony into your life, Love, Pangie.
