Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

This Needs To Be Said

                      (Especially, for new writers)

Just as in real life, some poets have the art of wearing masks of friendship.
You will know, when they stop commenting to all your works.
It's not rocket science to figure it out.
They just stop posting to you totally and it feels like being hit with a boxing glove.

No, your poetry is not inferior!
In fact, you may be a more than one time POTD winner!
Even then, they simply refuse to acknowledge you.

They just ride on white unicorns, under an allusion that they are superior?
How cheap, how tawdry, how unloving and cruel!
These poets who think they are some precious jewels?

But you must go on, though they ignore you like dirt.
They are nothing but arrogant, selfish-centered squirts.

The most loving poets are here in abundance.
They honor you, love you..
These lift your soul with a sweet, humble incense filled cadence.

......Write-on..ignore the unicorn riders......

      "By their fruits, you will know them!"

Robert Lindley January 16, 2020 at 9:07 AM My friend, let not thy heart be troubled by such. As your poetry stands the test very well. And obvious to many it is a heartfelt and joyful expression of a true and talented poetess! Spill ink and let the naysayers cry in their little dark stained, poisonous cups.. A fav... Panagiota Romios January 16, 2020 at 12:49 PM Robert,,,I will spill my pen with stars and keep being true to myself. I cannot do otherwise. Their are many other talented poets here who are quite gifted. Thank you for all the Favs you sent my way. Be well. Panagiota xx

Darlene De Beaulieu January 15, 2020 at 2:54 PM Hello Panagiota Romios, I agree with kim And TS Poetry, keep on writing because poetry is in our blood. Never stop writing Panagiota, you write poetry very well. So keep on creating poetry. Have a nice day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu January 15, 2020 at 5:11 PM I am glad to hear it. we will know each other well because we are friends. Have a nice day my friend. Panagiota Romios January 15, 2020 at 4:29 PM Hello again! Of course, I will keep on writing! You do not know me well, yet. The more adversity, the stronger I get. I have been that way all my life. I am a fighter, not a quitter. Never! Panagiota xx

Ts Poetry January 15, 2020 at 9:22 AM Just write for you and those you care about. That's all we can do. I'm lucky if I get two comments. Panagiota Romios January 15, 2020 at 10:52 AM TS, I get your point! If I get three it's a winning day. But expressing myself does overcome the comments. I realize I am no great writer and never had an intention to be one. Thanks for all your comments this past year. In appreciation, Panagiota xx

Tom Cunningham January 15, 2020 at 1:54 AM It had to be said Panagiota and you said it, beware of sheep in wolves clothing. One thing you do wise up when you've been here a while. Hope you're well. Tom Panagiota Romios January 15, 2020 at 10:18 AM You must know Tom, I am more than gullible and over-trusting. Takes awhile to know who is true. I am doing Ok, Tom. I know you are! Panagiota xx

Caren Krutsinger January 14, 2020 at 10:05 PM This made me smile, for I try to get around to everyone but I have SO MANY friends here now! If I was retired it would be easier. Have a terrific day my friend. You are right no comments really does not mean anything except maybe people are busy with life. Panagiota Romios January 14, 2020 at 10:17 PM Caren! You are everywhere...I, too have friends here, but know That not all friendships are equal. In real life, true friends are rare. I don't buy the busy thing. I think it's clear we have to make choices... And your real life should not come second to poetry. Children, grandchildren, Husband's need attention. Some, like me, who cannot type with poor vision cannot read all the poets I like. " Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe." You are not arrogant. You give so much to so many. I have never found you missing in action. Love, Panagiota xx
