Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

With Heart, Built-In

                     ~~~
        Like a new house, in my poetry,
        you will find a heart built-in.
        I am no sharp wit nor in a hurry
        to quickly pen, for a poetic win.

        If as a poet, it's form comes first,
        Then, you won' t find me filling
        your thirst!

        OR if it's truth in one sentence be 
        your compulsion?
        My poetry for you, is your revulsion.

        If heavy imagery be your fancy,
        You won't find it in my verse, far
        too chancy.

        I come from a time when songs
        were so beautiful.
        Rhyme, to me is fun, and just
        naturally plentiful.

        I'd talk all day in rhyme, indeed if 
        only we all could!
        Instead of like breaking news alerts, 
        so heartless and made of wood.

        Our frenzy is to the great new god, 
        multi-tasking, has wreaked havoc on 
        new generations.
        Where Cliff notes has replaced reading 
        famous literature~ an abomination.
 
        I have tried selling myself out to short form 
        poetry.
        I must say, that so far, only the English
        Haiku has worked for me.

Gershon Wolf January 7, 2020 at 1:26 AM To everything there is a season... and a reason… a rhyme... and a time. ---And a fresh breeze whispering "Panagiota Romios!" Go, girl! :) Gershon Panagiota Romios January 7, 2020 at 10:43 AM Wow! Thanks. Remember that really old song, "they call the wind, Mariah?" How about " They call the wind, Romios!" golly, I am losing my marbles! Panagiota

Darlene De Beaulieu January 6, 2020 at 2:36 PM Hello Panagiota, I like this couplet. You seem to have a strong message herein poetry. Some poems i comment on are not commented back. I have noticed Sometimes in a group of comments , they are not commented back. Why i do not know. Have a nice day my friend. Panagiota Romios January 6, 2020 at 10:51 PM I usually don't have time to look back at my comments.)). I just want to go forward and let the chips fall where they may...))) PR xxx Darlene De Beaulieu January 6, 2020 at 5:24 PM Hello Panagiota Sometimes I see my own comment that i have done on some pom. I wonder why, but i don't let it bother me. I do not look back on comments made either.I read them once, i move on. yes what you said makes a lot of sense. have anice evening my friend. Panagiota Romios January 6, 2020 at 3:19 PM Hello, my friend, Darlene! I am lucky to get one reply. If you type fast you can have an on going conversation, box after box. But then,other poets get no replies. I just like reples when I feel people are not brushing me off with one or two words. I never look back at comments.. If I did. I would have few poems and fewer poets would hear from me. Does that make sense? be happy..Darlene. Panagiota xx

Lindsay Laurie January 5, 2020 at 6:57 PM Hello Panagiota … I guess we all have our preference of genre, but it harms no one to read and shoe respect. Many of us here find our verse read and less to comment, so it's bloody hard work indeed to carry on - thanks again Panagiota - Lindsay Panagiota Romios January 5, 2020 at 7:42 PM Hello, it gets rather gamey here at PS. I surmise it's the rush to publish the most Poetry to have rank on the Best List, to one- up other poets who write with depth and profundity. Look at comments to any poem. Like " cute". When I see one and two word replies, I take it as a clue, to land a place as Best on Top Commentors. Comments then are like footies))! How about a soulful comment! Such as yours? And Exactly, it's bloody hard to go on. I had one poem with over 800 reads and 2 comments?? It's far from a weak or paltry poem. Arg! 2 comments Panagiota

Quoth Theraven January 5, 2020 at 6:17 PM Panagiota, Pretty Couplet. -Richard Panagiota Romios January 5, 2020 at 6:28 PM Dearest Richard, I personally want to hug you for your comments these past few days, when comnents have been few. I want to stop posting altogether. I really do not think I have what it takes to be here.(((((. I have a dramatic verse to post but fear it won't be read as it is not a haiku, Senryu nor a tanka nor a Monoku...Eeeks! Thanks again, Panagiota xx
