Such deep, impassioned, love startles our mortal ways. Could we possibly have that same eternal love? Flowing in our souls and blood, and being blind, make light of it? How blessed, how young, how fortunate,lovers they! To refuse on this fetid earth to stay. And of poison did imbibe and hence dance forever in a moonlit sky., Willing to live in eternity, together. oh! Not a beautiful flower, nor a stunning sunset, no! Could keep them here, why, on this so controlling a place! Be still this night and you will hear their enchanting and bubbling laughter.. It whispers in trees, eternally, day and night, a fortnight and foreverafter. Poem ~1~ February 14, 2024

Hi Paige, it surprised me, too! It was interesting how my poet- mentor in Britain, saw a line most significant~ that I totally missed After I wrote the poem, I almost changed the line…so glad I did not! One poetess saw this happen only saw 3 times in a few years. (Where a POTD and POTW are almost back to back.) I really was considering a stop to writing altogether! I shall carry on, now. And still have a long way to go. Your comments do help! Panagiota with gratitude and hugs!!

Hi Kim, and very glad to see you come back and sign this. You were one of the first ones that did.. I spoke to my poet mentor in England today with the publisher of 50 books of poetry and he told me that he loved the first line. I was shooting all other lines and I thought something was wrong with the first line. He said that’s what the poem.. That’s funny I didn’t even get that.. well, maybe that’s why he worlwide, I wish I could always write like this. I will make that commitment to myself, and you can let me know where I fall off the tracks.))) God bless you for being here today. We’ve known each other a long time and for that, my heart singsM pangie xx

Congratulations on your POTD win. Sorry, yesterday I was not on SOUP. I was with a dear friend and her husband's funeral. I enjoyed reading your wonderful love write/story with a great picture. True love does last forever. Have a wonderful day/weekend writing away with your win.................

Dearest Paula, being with your friend as a source of solace is dar more significant than any POTD, ever.i do not consider it a win in any way, have you ever found me looking for one? I was in 2 contests in four years.Many of my poems astae ny stand on this, there are so maby forms yet to learb, so mant pietsI have never read, so its not in my heart to win In addition. The POTDand POTW are acts of recognition, not done by Soupers, nor are there thousands run nby poets. That is far too many~ but I realize others thrive on them.l know you get it! Thank you for being part of my to support team herel hohs,Pangie xxx

Dearest Pangie, WOW! Your words transported me to a realm where love transcends mortal boundaries, where passion knows no bounds, and where the soul's desire for eternal union finds passionate expression. The depth of emotion and the lyrical beauty inked into each stanza left me in awe. Your portrayal of Romeo and Juliet's love as an enduring flame, flickering against the backdrop of a world that seeks to confine it, is both haunting and sublime. Your words evoke a sense of timelessness and longing that is felt deeply.Moreover, your poem serves as a call to the power of love to defy even the most formidable obstacles, to transcend the limitations of our earthly existence, and to endure beyond the constraints of time itself. Congratulations on being honored as the POTD for such a masterful piece of work. Your talent shines brightly, and I have no doubt that your words will continue to inspire and uplift all who have the privilege of encountering them. - Blessings, Daniel

David! Hurrah, I got the page to work. Thank you for the many accolades about this poem There is no use in pretending that I can write as an intelligent reply as the comment you just posted.. that would be insane. Thank you for going to the ends of the Earth to complement this poem. It shows what a big heart you have for lanother person.. I prefer this type of comment compared to a text-type comment. it is enormous help to the poet who wrote the poem. Much appreiared, Pangie xx

Hello, Mile! You got that right! A tribute to Eternal love. After I saw the Zeferellis momovie version movie od the star crossed lovers, I was hooked on his poetry and his plays, well later movies of Romeo and Juliet can’t compare. It don’t even come close. The movie is available I think for five dollars on YouTube… See if you can. Thank you for being here today.. Hugs, Pangie cx
