Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Wanders the Poetic Pilgrim Soul In Me

      In me, dwells therein a pilgrim soul.
      Always on the move and on the go.
      It growls, with a very strong voice:
      “Do not dare fence me in…worse…
      To attempt to still my strong voice.”

      Not penning here to make you smile.
      Prefer, walking on nails for many miles.
      To be sweet and cute is hardly my tone.
      Prefer the fresh scent of a summer rain.
      Than following the crowd, the ultimate pain.

      I’ve given up, calling myself a real poet.
      That name belongs to some, I know it!
      We are not poets simply just because we 
      are online.
      There is my vocabulary to expand greatly.
      And to learn the use of imagery tastefully.

      If the fates allow me more time on earth.
      Perhaps in a few more years, I will write
      something of worth.
      Please know, I, myself, am not drunk on my writes.
      Meanwhile, I know it is of no use to plagiarize or cheat, 
      using AI!

      Pen of the present, as much as you can.
      I would like to know you-now, not who you
      were way back when
      Wake up this world to honor truth,, it is your duty.
      To wed, both love and beauty, the true poetic trophy.

Beryl Edmonds July 19, 2023 at 5:48 PM Wonderful writing poetic pilgrim Panagiota, you write from your heart and “wed love and beauty” love those words and you deserve “the true poetic trophy.” ~ Belle Panagiota Romios July 19, 2023 at 6:57 PM You humble me, great poetess. My poem was evaluated by a top poet in the UK. Like him, you both chose the same words as the most powerful. Didn’t I tell you earlier you were great! I did! This is proof, your writing is beautiful and moving,! You go girl, as they say, reach for the clouds!! PR

Robert Lindley July 19, 2023 at 12:01 PM My friend, your poems peak much truth and shed light where it is needed. We all should write from heart and soul= to share with others. That is my goal. I have 51 ears writing and always do my best. Your poem is a fav for me-as I stand with truth. God bless. Panagiota Romios July 19, 2023 at 12:21 PM Robert~ thank you. Neither you, nor anyone need Fave a poem, if you or anyone does so, let me know by soup mail. It seems to create the green eye of jealousy, or, if you do not mark the Fav box of another ,,,arouses extreme anger and you lose a reader? It’s kind of hilarious to me.far ahead of me you are! Standing with truth is costly. Bending to fit in is death of the soul amd loss of freedom…..PR

Eve Roper July 18, 2023 at 10:40 PM Uhm... I think the true poet died with the old famous ones, with beautiful english. You my friend are a gem of true beauty with honesty. Panagiota Romios July 19, 2023 at 10:58 AM The “0ld” poets? Can you give me two examples! There is a move to here to not learn from them,and to create short zany forms with no meter. More or less anything we write, we thing is a poem.How? Just write sentences and make them look like one.I call that ….lying to yourself.poets know how to rhyme. You are a good writer here. A real poet! Yes we are friends, but quite honestly you know how much further I have to go.. Humbly,PR

David Fisher July 18, 2023 at 4:44 PM Your poetry lets us know that you do your duty. Inspirational, poetic, and urgent. You make your point well understood, Pangie! Panagiota Romios July 18, 2023 at 5:05 PM Great! Poetry being about communication, etc, I can see you got my point. Pleasure that we understand one another, PR

Paula Goldsmith July 18, 2023 at 11:59 AM What a story/write/ending. Here is your trophy. I enjoyed it. Many poets were Not read much when alive. Only after death are known by everyone. Too Bad. It may also happen to us. Write for today and enjoy it, for we only have today. Enjoy your day writing away................. Panagiota Romios July 18, 2023 at 5:01 PM Hey, Paula! I have my trophy. I mean that only in a humble way. The world is filled with millions of far better poets. My poetry will be removed from this site when I am gone. To make way for the new poets.I have zero desire for immortality! Honor poets still breathing, exceptions only for greats truly great classical poets. Shakespeare a must. PR
