PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

People really shouldn't write poetry for free;
Because, we all could use more money.
For being creative, we should get paid;
For writing heart-melting art, because our inspiration never does fade.
Where is the glory in writing on a free website;
With a lot of other people who, for free, write?
Are we all just a bunch or artists starving;
With no turkey on Thanksgiving Day for carving.
What do poets do for money;
Because, writing on a free websites won't do it for me, honey.
Does anyone have any advice?
For a disabled poet who's been used and abused more than once or twice.
I really will ponder hard your answers;
For, I'm just a writer and artist; not a singer or a dancer.
What do poets do as a side job?;
When they don't want to sell drugs, kill, or rob.
What can I do to put money in my pocket;
Besides pawning my jewelry, including my special locket.
I really don't understand why I have to be poor;
Because being an artist and a poet is what I live for.
I don't want to forever be on disability;
Because my poetic mind has much agility.
Keep in mind, with people, I don't much get along;
But, in my head, there is always a song.
I'd like to be a work-at-home on the computer girl;
That job really would be a pearl.
I think I will look that one up;
So, I can put more money in my change cup!
