"A blog is to a writer what a canvas is to an artist." ~ Colleen Redman

Pass the Tip Jar

I’m not unemployed
but I have no income
I have a very unpopular job:
I write poetry

    If you are ’employed’ then the employer should be paying you? Tell your non-fans how many poems you have written, that might impress the folk. (BTW, I am well over 2000 poems)

    Can relate to that! A lot of time and effort and no income – that’s about it with poetry!!!!

    Ah yes, ‘Occupation: Poet’ – not only unpopular and largely non-lucrative, but regarded in many quarters as downright weird. Except of course by all your readers here, who will relate perfectly.

    Here’s to all the poets…very special people. If the words of poets were heeded it would be a much better world. Poets are very important in the well being of the world…sort of like bees in nature !

    I sat here at my PC giggling after reading your brief and brilliant poem. AND the reason I have taken the summer off from my blog. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
