yes sadly poems do not always sell
selling like hotcakes is a novel market
best seller authors write words novel
three questions instant arrive
what the novelist wanted?
what the poet wanted?
what the reader wanted?
profit is writing for the market
profit is writing fashion hot
profit is writing in top ten list
profit is writing bam 10 pin bowling strike
profit is writing heart wringer piercing spike
profit is writing Thor lightning thunderstrike
yes sadly poems do not always sell
the joy is in expression gift giving
receiving words which uplift our souls
choice wonder words which delight
unique minds young old;
are worth sharing,
worth publishing;
worth a reading,
they may not
appeal to a mass market
popular mindset
but they enrich minds
delighting in life
delighting in spice of life
delighting in life smorgasbord eating
delighting in taste hot cold
come partake of styles served up
personal hot cold flavour meal choices
celebratory poetic meal guest dishes
laid out for your choice
they may not appeal to a mass market
but selections enrich minds delighting in life
seeking answers to soul life questions;
answers are like onion skins many layered;
