Published Poet

Published Poet I wrote a poem 24 years ago, I have forgotten it now, but I was paid twenty quids and my plan was to frame it for anyone doubt I was truly a poet, My wife was sarcastic of this paltry sum she didn’t get it I had joined the rarefied of a poet who had been paid for his work. I do not do poetry comps anymore, the excitement of winning was too overwhelming.

I would be delighted with your success to be paid for a poem! I am trying to get my name credited to my poems I find on the web - mainly haiku that have had a photo added but not my name:-) Have had 4 responses this week so I am pursuing it:-) Hugs jan xx
