Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

They Stood Aloof

The new poet craved a just tad of attention, 
         Not realizing others were at a poet laureates'convention.
         Or, let's say, that was simply their disdain and heartless ideation!

         I took her sincere hand, and told her that her poem was truly grand.
         Her eyes lit up, as though hearing a big band!
         I felt so good giving another a smiling hand.

         I do know what it's like to be new.
         And those first, warm supportive comments come into you.
         Hope, optimism then rise and gleam brightly, how true!


         " Do unto others, as you  would have them do unto you."
