Dancing with Poppies 9/21/2023 In love with sunrises and sunsets, I began waltzing with poppies with glee. Then came the stark realization, that someone might be watching me! For to express one’s spirit so fully is not appreciated in today’s uptight, online society. Even, the words “ online society” presented me with base, lonely , staccato keys! Where we really do not know the other, sadly, only, the keystrokes, what totally, odd hegemony? Who is real and who is not~ gives one plentiful food for thought aplenty! These thoughts are always with me, and play a strange, melodic,haunting, lonely , cacophony! I decided to cast my fate to the winds,,dance in sunsets and poppies forever, my heart , its drumbeat, forever, dancing in glorious glee!

I sincerely loved this poem. It expresses my feelings and experiences. Folks are conveniently too detached in today's digital world. Who's real and who's not...I wonder that as well. Seems quite sad and lonely to me. I much prefer gentle, kind, respectful folks rather than those who hide behind their keystrokes, some of which can be harsh. At my age (71), I really don't care what they think. Let me be. I think I've earned that. :-) smiles..have a blessed day, Sara

10/6..Hello, Sara! I feel as you..what’s with all the detachment? The internet has been a killer. People fearful of writing more than two sentences! Anyway, what in the world can you say in two sentences?. I know younger people do like that or think the world can be run on text messages. Baloney!! You are still a youngster. And will stay young because you have a positive way of living and thinking. You value people and you’re willing to express that.. of course you earned your right and so have I! I will not hush or be quiet. So come! Let’s go dance in the poppies, shall we? Thank you, Pangie

What a wonderfully floral inspired presentation of raw emotions! Woven in to an observation of societies double standard and disconnect brought about by faceless interaction. Thanks for the wisdom! By now it's hardly a secret but I have a soft spot for monorhymes. Thoroughly enjoyed this one on my favorites list it goes... A.S.

AS, it’s OK you like mono-rhymes…I delight in your honesty. Will have to do a dance dedicated to that special aspect of your character! Be in charge of your mind, do not listen to trash! It hurts us all. We are netter and bigger. Pangie xx

I agree that expressing ones spirit is frowned upon, yet we seem free to pen all we wish from heart. I like your poem.

Bless you for your honest and open heart., Karen I was raised to be a quiet, obedient child, I was, but as we grow, we learn self expression is important. Some never grow to find that joy……some will even dislike us, it’s OK. Be you….Pangie xx

Pangie, I'm glad you decided to dance in the poppies, instead of feeling shadowed by those other unknowns. Hopefully it's just us poets, the keystroke masters, watching what you write, anyways.

Good evening David! I think I am danced out for today.for sure people watch us….keystroke masters do. They are there to catch us should we fall and the best of them, help us up.They are true winners in our live and theirs. Thank you for visiting. Pangie xx
