Writing books, writing poems, writing anything, might lead to something or end up being nothing, unless you're having fun, because profits hardly none.


Poem Artwork

Better have some fun,
because profit,
there's hardly none.
Unless you're famous or a star,
you might as well stay in your car.
Everything in life takes hard work first,
then later on you may quench your thirst.
So it's best to at least try,
some have many personal reasons why.
I got mine,
you got yours,
so less blast the doors.


Poets are low on the totem pole,
climbing up takes heart and soul.
Other writers depending,
on the message they're sending.
The pie in the sky traditional,
refuse to recognize the
self published fiction or non-fictional.


No body knows our pain,
nobody knows our sorrow,
hopefully wings will fly tomorrow.
Until then there's this itch,
to write a way out of the ditch.
Knock, knock, knocking on literary doors,
hardly anyone but the famous scores.
So I travel this road of none,
the only profit being my fun.


Sobeit!


G

Well stated in verse the plight of poets and dreamers and writers of novels that never see acceptance. But, alas and drat! We must continue on with the pen and quill, or we are nothing . . .

I'm with you, having some fun! If a poet writes something for profit, he writes for profit, and this is where they lose their purpose...
great thoughts inspired on this one!
Thanks for the intended support!
Love and Peace~

You're so right. What makes me angry is that there are people who can't write but achieve success just because they are famous in something else such as footballers. We write because we must, so like you let's enjoy it. That is enough reward. Victor

Amen to that Grady
your write is the fact
Kool Piece
Know just what you mean
Take any idiot from Hollywood
or from the upper crust of society
If ever they scribe a few rhyming lines
all of a sudden they're called poets
we write what we feel
what we think. or done in the past
or about our passion... No one gives a crap

Peace be with you
