Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

White Water Rafting

Terrified me so!
My heart beat like a bass drum,
Screaming , "Go, go , go!"
Someone scrunched me in a jacket,
And headed me in fear.
I did my best to smile and hide
Tears of fear, fear, fear.
But I was with a jolly crew and we did quite well.
That fear-filled afternoon in Arizona
Later, relaxing and laughing in that raft.,
With cheers, cheers, cheers!

Gershon Wolf May 26, 2019 at 10:51 PM I can just feel the excitement you've conveyed in each verse. Vibrates! :) gw Panagiota Romios May 26, 2019 at 11:24 PM Never dreamt I would ever do that. The afterwards, was the best part. The congeniality and humor of those I was with blew me sky high. I love humorous People who are Unafraid to be who they really are. See my comment to Darlene. I did not want to go on this all expense paid trip. But I did. Awesome

Heidi Sands May 26, 2019 at 4:13 PM Wow! Sounds exciting! A great poem and fun. Nice to see the laughter too :) Panagiota Romios May 26, 2019 at 4:24 PM Yes, after my dire fear...came laughter and new friendships. Never saw water create such instantaneous openness. Cheers, Panagiota

Darlene De Beaulieu May 26, 2019 at 11:58 AM Hello Panagiota Romios, that was some adventure you had. Would you do it again? Have a nice day my friend. Panagiota Romios May 26, 2019 at 3:33 PM Darlene,, my friend.Gee..that was 20 years ago.Haha. So think I wound not. My fellow passengers were all managers of then cable companies. The best and funniest people I ever met. I was just a worker bee who won that trip, thanks to an ESPN Contesr. It was so beautiful and an honor to win, thanks, my friend

Eve Roper May 26, 2019 at 9:10 AM Panagiota, it sounds like fun, but like a rollercoaster ride I stay away from them. Hugs Eve Panagiota Romios May 26, 2019 at 9:32 AM Eve, it scared the heck out of me. But my raft buddies and I were drawn so close by that experience. I can't do roller coasters anymore. But seems I spent much of my life on them in Chicago. No more...Eeks Pamagiota
