An Honest Plea From A Scribbler To Survive

Rating: 5.0


Time has come to beg it seems
And I am sorry that I do not know the know-how.
Poor wife and myself entangled in a political asylum case here.
Money! Money! Money! Dogs never sniff that I know but I need a lump some for the Solicitor who look after us.
I have altogether 800 scribblings the only wealth I own
And if a philanthropist would like to have a kind word with me,
Herewith I submit my curriculum-vitae please.

* I am sorry my dear poet friends this is not a propaganda but a true yelp from a human-dog.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Dearest Nimal, Your poetry is worth so much intrinsically. How sad that what is intrinsic doesn't necessarily translate into financial. I don't think there is a poet in the world who is able to survive on his/her writings and that's the sad truth. Certainly not in the USA or Australia. A poignant plea from a master poet. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
