Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

The Windchimes' Grace

So, very much like the velvet softness of poetry.
It doesn't bang like a drum in your ear.
Nor is it the sound of raucous laughter in a cheap, bawdy, theatre.

Big words that provide nothing but confusion?
Do you expect poets from huge dictionaries to get contusions?

Poetry is anything but tap dancing in garish poet costumes
on the poetry stage.
Some are poets genuine, not poet impostors.

Anyone can follow a form, let's face it and claim to be a poet, how
poorly they fake it,
The true poet has a heart and loud drums and a chortling crowd 
cannot erase it.

Being cheap and tawdry,is not a poet's fare.
He or she has a handle on life's heartbeat which they handle with 
The tender sound of a windchime's gentle sound and share.

Tom Cunningham October 19, 2020 at 5:49 AM If its not from the heart and soul then how can it be poetry? Tom Panagiota Romios October 19, 2020 at 9:23 AM That is all most like a koan. Sureley all write from the heart! But I can tell when there's a poem that's words on a paper vs words with soul. There's much I do not know more than know. Hugs, Pangie xx
