Notes About The Poem

The Key to Poetic Greatness

  
        “It doesn't pay to get discouraged.
         Keeping busy and making optimism
         a way of life, can restore your faith in     
         yourself!”       Luciille Ball
  
  


You, yes you, are the creator of your life.
If you die for approval, then, you create your inner strife.

Your words are simply words.
Use them kindly, never against a fellow poet as swords!

When you move another heart,
Thank them, arrogance is indeed,an  obnoxious art.

You plan to be a great poet one day?
Let your humilty, outshine you.in every way!

Hi Pangie....l imagine you have a lifetime of interesting stories/tales to tell. I would love to sit down with you over a coffee or two and chat and hear some of those tales no doubt accompanied with laughter!! I know from your poetry you are strong, intelligent, passionate, speak your mind and enjoy wit and have lived life fully! Debx
