Light At the End of the Tunnel

Once I looked for a book publisher,
who would help me become published.
The search changed from a book publisher,
to book publishers - their publication fees
were beyond my means.
My hope trekked in the Internet for two years,
searching for a place to halt.
As I was about to throw in the towel,
I found a publisher who charged no fee;
he would do it for free!
Now, I am a published poet,
immortalized by my own book!


(I'm glad to have first Poetry Book, "The Milky Way in Words",
published by Booktango!)
