Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

What To Write

What to Write?

Just be the real you, with all your might!
If people don't like you, they won't! it's 
really alright!
And writing to please the throng?
Don't be a ridiculous dolt.

I've yet to meet a saint this in life.
Pretenders galore, filled with strife.
People are a delightful combination
Of both sinner and saint, 
You have to read behind the poets word-
paint.

I like poets who tell it like it is!
It doesn't matter if I agree with them at all!
It's no different than being with your best
friend.
They are there to share the real them, not
a saint rising above your head.

I, too, get grabbed by the muse that only
produces words that please.
That's hardly the real world.
Just a poetic strip tease.

Hugs from sunny, hot Ca 90 degrees.ouch, Panagiota

Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 4:29 AM Your ending is hilarious! The rest makes a lot of sense; there are some poems that are so poetically whatever, I do not "understand" them at all. Panagiota Romios April 23, 2019 at 7:24 AM Just like you, some Poems, I do not get. You are right about the ending,it is funny. Gee, what a choice of words.))? Panagiota

Tom Cunningham April 22, 2019 at 2:52 PM No saints only pretenders' in life. How true that is Panagiota. Well written verse. Panagiota Romios April 22, 2019 at 2:56 PM Hi, Tom. How nice. There are genuine folks in life. We know the counterfeits, I think. Saints, some. But they are dedicated to a bigger Purpose other than themselves, Panagiota. Merci, again-))

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2019 at 12:39 PM Oooh! I like this one soooo much. Couldn't agree with you more, i.e., you've got to sling 'em straight from the heart...And what a perfect last stanza! Bravo! :) gw Panagiota Romios April 22, 2019 at 12:50 PM Hard for me, not to be me.LOL.. May tick some off.. Too bad! Panagiota Cannot sell ot for popularity.
