Who Deserves a Potd

Wo Deserves a POTD Your own answer, shows your own ego. The biggest hearted poets don't question! They just plain congratulate. The smallest hearts hold back on congratulating. Especially, if that Poet is not part of the big school of fish. Or, the poet may be fairly new. Let's talk turkey. We all want the big prize, the POTD. We blame PS if the poem is not to our standards. I heard it said, " It is not an honor!" Life is just a game, friends. Sometimes we win and yes, sometimes we lose. To that poet, it is an honor. Be willing, be big of sterling soul. Your heart shows when you congratulate! February 23, 2020         8pm PST

I was honoured and thrilled when I received my POTD, but in the end it is just as thrilling to receive a positive comment from other more accomplished poets - it truly lifts my soul and puts a smile on my face. So thank you my PS friends. It also gives me the greatest pleasure to read a wonderful poem and to give my comments too, as I know how much they mean to me! A really great poem my friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

I am with you on this. Comments from friends to my poetry suffice. It is nice to get a POTD...but seems they upset those who don't. Why can't we just be happy for that Poet? It's also good to be magnanimous when you see one you like. Too many here have constipation of fingers and hearts.))))) More love is called for, I say. You are not one to hold back, Ann! I have to stop sometimes because my eyes give out. Ugh,ugh. You are a true joy, lovely Ann. Here to share, not a trophy hunter. Irene and I still happy you won 1st place. Honored by your comment...love. Panagiota xxxxxx

Wow, what a comment. How wonderful.. The poetess with the Mostest...not me, really.others Are more skilled. But a POTD from you is really magnificent. Let's all enjoy one another. Forget POTD. Life is a game...I don't care who gets it. Rather read Poetry by non POTDers. I try to be a voice, I know you hear it loud and clear. Love, Panagiota xx

Happy Monday to you my friend! Thank you for reading and commenting. Says a lot about you. You love poetry so much, you understand that it takes a Poet to write one. But it takes an even bigger Poet to comment. That, my friend is you!!!! Panagiota.
