A poignant bit of verse written with conviction, focused and factual. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.

Much less even a guaranteed stipend For words I've written to this very day/// beautiful and superb poetic expression

poetry is vocation. we, poets, will always penniless

Michael, this poem is true for so many of us. But oh, the places you've seen! Visited only by those whose imagination knows no bounds. : -)

" My mind, at times, wishes me to see, Exotic thoughts my penned hand releases In verse, prose fashion for posterity" . The imaginative mind of a poet leads him to write even things beyond his reach. Beautiful. Please kindly check my poems HOPE and THE BEAUTY OF DEATH and leave your comments.
