Honesty

We know the fakes and we know the treasures...not always certain whether driven by the hand of God or His rival, the Devil, a writer inks a hazardous course... Though honesty may not pay the bills, it is the soul of a poet….

I guess I'll have to get a new bookkeeper: Time to fire Honesty if she won't pay the bills! Smiles, Gershon

Prince deMino...a FAV instantly. The soul of a true poet is honesty.Not only will it not pay the bills, it might mark you as unpopular. Too bad, I say. Even poets fall for smoke amd mirrors.!) Pangie xx

Oh well, not much I can do about that, if that is the case. I will be content with the readers I get, and being able to support the other writers if allowed. I think I am serving by being here. Hopefully.

A gracefully concise, perceptive. observation (as I have come to expect from you, Joe) on the essence of poetry that, sadly will not pay the bills too.
