Poems for Money

Since I'm not a famous poet I don't make a lot of money from poetry but I sure have fun.

 

 
If I wrote my poems for money
I’d be skinny as a rail
My clothes would fit me poorly
And my skin would be quite pale.
 
I’d have to walk everywhere
Since my car would have no gas
And I couldn’t mow my lawn
Which would grow one foot tall grass.
 
I might stand on a street corner
With a sign written very good
That I’d show to every driver
With a message,”I’ll rhyme for food.”
 
But I don’t write poems for money
It’s more like playing with a toy
I share them with other people
With the hope it will bring them joy.

Your poem made me smile. Very clever, and ain't that the truth. I've let many people use my poems for so many different things and I never ask for money for the use of my work. I'm sponsoring a poetry contest to raise money for Riley Hospital for Children that has a prize of $100 and the winning poem being displayed for one month in the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home. If interested, go to my AuthorsDen site and click on "events".
