Notes About The Poem

The Joy of Being A Poet

I have seen this phenomenon all my life.
Pride is cruel, aged by the sin of vanity
Within humans~ needless painful strife.
It seems to plague all levels of humanity.

I know you writing poetry doing your best 
Come here strictly to be your true self.
Yet to some, you shan’t past their test.
You are not here to be a doll on the shelf.

Celebrate you…always

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/9/2024 1:45:00 PM You and your dreams are what matter dear Pangie, not someone else's opinions. Nice reminder! Thanks! :) Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 8/9/2024 6:39:00 PM Best to pay the price of being you.i know we can write to please! So do kids in grade school.so what. Having piets adore us because we feed them “candy pioetry”gives them a diabetic coma of the brain, I will never understand this running away from writing about reality why not. Where do we live on the rainbow? That is just plain nuts. Ya, ya, you won’t be popular unless you make them laugh or give them sugarl that would be me. Of course I write about nice things. Of course I wrote candy poetry too once in a while but I all the time are you kidding? I won’t do that while the world is falling in pieces.! is not serving humanity. That’s making them drunk while they’re in the process of getting killed.. how’s that? I would call that very Panagiota… only the courageous can do that. Pangie.. no I won’t give people brain candy.. barf. Like line to humanity no, I won’t do that..

M. L. Kiser Date: 8/5/2024 12:50:00 PM "You are not here to be a doll on the shelf." So true, we are here to help and support one another, share our wisdom and experiences, to uplift one another. I think we do a pretty good job of it on this site. Enjoyed.

Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/31/2024 7:58:00 PM Lovely words again Pangie in poem 2. Poetry is therapeutic and when things go wrong it helps to take your mind of your problems, we all have them at times. Keep writing with words of hope and encouragement … Beryl Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 7/31/2024 8:30:00 PM Yes, Beryl. I think that poem with coyer together is really one of the best poems you had poetry soup. I’m not being arrogant. I’m just telling you how I honestly feel.. that was a real trip! Yes, life can be really rare by times I Wrote about that to you and the soup . I noticed in most of my poetry, those two things of hope and encouragement always there ! I am not into jokes or being funny or writing about the man that got away story kind of poem although I’m sure I’ve done that too. But both things of a better tomorrow are always there for me and for everyone.. I think I should run for public office. On second thought, never mind.LOL. Poetry is in my ground.. or it grounds me. Sweet dreams., Pangiexx

Karen Jones Date: 7/31/2024 7:35:00 PM Love the uplifting message! Great poem! Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 7/31/2024 8:23:00 PM Hi Karen, how are you doing? I know you’re one of many poets in here who are willing to celebrate themselves and that is a gift. Thank you for responding to this write. It’s so dang hot here it’s 105.. We’ve had a really hot summer and fires going on, but not near me….. good night. Thank you. Pangie xx

Hilda Greenhough Date: 7/31/2024 6:09:00 PM A very good poem. Poetry is brain work. We need to appreciate the effort. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 7/31/2024 8:21:00 PM Indeed you are right, it is also “soul” work.)) If I don’t have the soul, cannot write a poem I can’t write one because I don’t know how to explain it, but the words are meaningless without soul behind them. Do you know what I mean? I noticed my comments are usually longer than most other people and that’s because I put my “Music” in them. I cant get by with tee -hee!!So it’s hard for me to write a three word comment because for me I’m only speaking. It’s like hitting three keys on the piano, like ABC and there’s no melody or lyric in it!! It doesn’t have any magic to it. Surely I could reach more people with shorter comments, but it’s like I want to sing to them not sound like a knock on a door!Yes I am weird… Good thing, comments are not audio. ,lOL Pangie xx

Paige Hind Date: 7/31/2024 5:13:00 PM Wise words. Loved the rhyming flow... Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 7/31/2024 5:29:00 PM Paige~ Bless you for two comments, that is super kind! I did my best with the rhyme flow. As I told Beryl, I used the same image twice on two poems today! And really liked it, so…why change it? Pangie xx
