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!"

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...

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

Just write for you and those you care about. That's all we can do. I'm lucky if I get two comments.

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

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

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

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.

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
