Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Thirty Something Alchemy

          Thirty Something Alchemy

    Are some of us beyond those years?
    Days of having children, spouses,
    working, and lovers quarrels and tears.

    Nights of staying out till three am at a
    party!
    When arrogant you flashed your wits
    ~ such a big smarty!

    Days and nights when you were able 
    to eat anything at all.
    And you loved showing off "you" at 
    the shining ball, dance hall?

    This poetess spent her Chicago days and
    nights like this.
    Filled with camaraderie, dances and
    yes something very unique, that
    much awaited for good night kiss.

   All vanished now in a dreamlike cloud.
   But the beat goes on within in her!
   After all, she is hardly wearing a
   shroud!

   Wondering if there are other poets 
   like her, who dream of such?
   And just for one day, just maybe...
   Have just a taste of their past's most
   magical touch?
