Notes About The Poem

What to Do If A Friend Stops Reading You



What a fool, you were, taken for a ride!
It’s a lesson to learn, protect your own hide.

They had great a time, using your emotions.
Grow up, make absolutely no commotions.

God has a new friend, already on their way.
Stop snivelling, get on your knees and pray!

So, if they did this to you, smile, you are blessed.
A friend never jumps on your soul, do not be stressed.

You write their namss, put it in the Book of Psalms!
May God grant you peace, and protection from harm.



I wish you love!
Pangie

Such a heartfelt piece Pangie. Sometimes people are so busy that they aren't aware or forgetful to read. It doesn't mean they don't care or they are not your friend. I have noticed that when I wrote about Trump and showed my support I lost two or three regular people that use to comment on my Poetry. I stopped commenting on theirs and they started back commenting on mine. I try and comment but sometimes as you know it gets overwhelming. I had four feet of snow in four days and my snowblower

rider had a problem mind you I have at the time two feet of snow. I had to fix that machine froze my behind off, got pneumonia was sick for five days recovered then my garbage disposal went on my sink had to take it out and replumb the whole sink on and on and on. I do everything myself and sometimes I do not have the time to read or write. When I catch up I am back reading and commenting. I hope you are well and don't let people get you upset sometimes we can be mistaken in our thinking. Thank you for sharing and blessings your way my Dear...

A Monoku is a one line poem, they are very well done. Look at the defitnition of them at PS ,yeah one line! It takes an excellent poet to create one, For exmple…to have depth. “ my cat is pretty” is a sentence, not a Monoku! You have been missing a lot of beauty here. We has an earthquake at3pm. My couch was shaking.Elena felt it in the den. Butch said ornaments shook on the Xmas tree! Irene slept through it. LOL Hugs, Pangie I I was referring too one line comments you know me I rarely write those. I will send you some examples. I get to know people better if they write more. Paul Callus can explain a good Monoku to you. Not me. I cannot write more. We just had an earthquake and I’m dizzy, so is Maria. The earthquake origin was in Nevada and I live near the border.. Dizzy Pangie It is Rastern in origin.

Yes Andrea, we must remember online friends can write “ i love you “-and have no heart for you at all. When they are done with you. I changed the comment from its original Pangie

I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. Friends can stop reading us for many reasons. Sometime they are short on time, they are sick, their life gets in the way, they take time off or vacation, they leave Soup & many more. I am blessed/honored/thankful when my readers read me. Readers that do Not say Nice things are Not friends. Hugs... Have a great/blessed day writing away...............

Well, if you not only comment but sebd email and pictures of your family, those friendships, I thought were deeer. I gyess not. I got the complete nessafe in your comment, Sometimes, though, things have to be tyrned over to God, They surpass human understanding. This person is not ill not on vacation. Friends tell me that. I was replaxed by a male.as if as a female, I am useless. But it is OK,, Paula. Thank you. Pangie xx

I agree with you. Friendship can be fleeting with no rhyme or reason. We just have to continue to move forward.

Hi Pangie, it only goes to prove they were not a true friend in the first place, much better off without them. xx

Remember you write for thee not they, what's important in life is family, everything else is not that important in the big scheme of things. Hope you're recovering well. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

Its anazing Tom! The body does recover as you know. I heard the NHS is makng waiting time like Brits to see an MD longer than four hours, thus, stay well please, great idea you shared about looking at what’s important in life! Thank you. Knowing me as you do for a long time, I do write for me, which ticks some poets off. And my energy level is really low. Just replying to a poem blows me away. I know you will have a great Christmas. This will be my 86th Christmas! That is a lot of Santa))) Peace, be yours! Pangie xx Hope to see the Chistmmas Eve Service in the UK))on GB TV.
