Writing In the Now

Stop present time now!
Let us go no further.
Let's enjoy the now, somehow.
Muses and we, sisters and brothers.

Batten down the hatches on reality.
Only stars dance, we staunchly state.
Reality has no maternity,
We slammed it dead at the front gate.

Of only insignificance, can we pen?
Strange murmurings of only moons
and stars.
Reality to die slowly in a dark house 
of busy pens?
Of that, dare not your soul ever move 
nor start.

This world of writing, utterly unreal.
Where imagery is some despotic 
king?P
And long words you must look up
to somehow beauty reveal?
To then bow low and kiss a poet's 
ring?

Robert Lindley Date: 9/15/2020 3:15:00 AM You my dear friend are a gem. You write directly from a true poet's heart! And that is a rare thing for online poetry in this modern world. Do no stop, do not ever bow to those that think poetry is to be written as a competition for instant popularity. Write with message and content as the most important factors. I try to do that with my every poem.. A fav... God bless.. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 9/15/2020 10:18:00 AM Robert, thank you for that handsome comment and moving too. There is a great push here to be popular Via contests. But my Poetry is not written to win as you so aptly said. It exists of and on its own. Loved or despised, does it matter? No! I love and cherish my friends here. You, and they, are the true trophies of my heart. Nobody has first place.all honored equally. You are a forever flame of inspiritation to be true to myself and no selling out. Thank you for FAVINg this and for being genuine...Panagiota xxx
