Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

The Words That Dance

Have a magic all of their own.
Like rainbow bubbles from your
quill will be shown.

Your loving heart waltzes freely
all over the paper.
They are warm and velvety, not
brutal like a cement scraper.

Remember this, when you read
someone else' s poetry.
Do they come from a space of love, 
or literary arrogant-cy?

Do they support other poets, or
get their jollies in putting another
down?
If so, why are you reading remarks 
from nebulous poet clowns.

"By their works, you shall know
them"...ah, so very true.
To humiliate other poets is an act
I staunchly, eschew!

Lindsay Laurie January 22, 2020 at 4:59 PM Hello Panagiota … to criticize and get a response helps build a clowns ego, but to criticize and be totally ignored eventually drowns some egos, but some will always be seeking out a victim - a fine message Panagiota - Lindsay Panagiota Romios January 22, 2020 at 5:56 PM Thank you Lindsay! Yes a few like that are around. They post a nasty, I respond. They delete their heinous comment. They also create spiteful blogs to cause dissension among Soupers. We all know who they are.unfortunately, good poets fall into their traps. A tragedy These troublemakers need a 12 Step Program like.. TROUBLEMAKERS ANONYMOUS. They are not poets. just outright mean. Like 6th graders, out of control. They are not adults, I don't think. They are mentally pubescent! Panagiota xx

Gershon Wolf January 22, 2020 at 4:02 PM 'Nebulous poet clown' really cracked me up. Thanks for that today!! Smiles, Gershon Panagiota Romios January 22, 2020 at 4:07 PM I am so glad you liked that line, Gershon. Having a sense of humor is the best of all. Panagiota xx
