A Filthy Rich Poet

I want to get filthy rich from writing poetry 
That is impossible! 
I write poems about dwarves and elves
Sometimes I write about Israel 
Sometimes I worry about what will happen in the future 
Meeting some nice women recently
That is all to the good!

Enjoyed your wishful thinking and many subjects that cross your mind. Fun poem.

I like the change of direction at the end of the poem. It gave the piece the Haiku effect!

I'm afraid you're 200 years too late for making money in poetry. We were born too late. So sad. But yet we soldier on. For a note... some of my cartoons are posted on 'Comic Sherpa.' Have a great day my friend.
