Poetic Reality

Rated "G" by the Author.

My publisher refused to publish my book of verse, I didn't curse, but my attitude got worse. The poet Charles Lee Taylor on my bio page published his own work, exactly what I'm going to do. I don't give crap if don't sell, it's something I want to do.

Baby don't stop,
write until you drop.
Think and feel like
you're the cream of the crop.
Feel as though,
you'll make eyes and hearts pop.

But don't get too inflated,
you might have to get sedated.
Return and have
your verse rebated.
The truth is
this poetic world isn't equated.

Publishers just aren't interested at all,
unless you're a celebrity with the ball,
even then they may not accept the call.
The president could write a book of poems,
he would get richer with his charms.
Anyone famous could write a book,
every publisher would want to take a look.

Back to my play,
actually very few
care about what a peon poet has to say.
So please enjoy your day,
and continue on anyway.
Never give up hope,
believe in the Pope,
however,
still use your soap,
hey,
don't let it drive you to dope.
And if you're prospecting for gold,
you might not be sold.
Selling is similar to my reviews,
have you heard the news,
I don't get many,
sometimes any.
But I'll go on the docket,
I still have some cash in my pocket.

O

 

Poet Charles Lee Taylor

Vivid imagery you paint here of the realities of life. Never let obstacles to get the best of what you plan and desire to accomplish. Well written and most honest piece...

Be always safe,
Karen

I love your style, your honesty, and the fact that you never give up! But the biggest thing I love about you Grady is that you don't judge...YOU ARE FULL OF LOVE..most here at the den would do well to mimic you, even some of the so-called Christians.



As for your poetry, go do it!

God Bless, love Holly
