Noel Flater Poet Verse

Ode To a Writer

Ode to a Writer

Who will find it?
my consonants of Gold, 
and vowels of Silver,
my pearls of poetry,
and rubies of writing,

Who will find me?
So, I can be paid
the Big, Big bucks?,
So I can hob knob
with Who's Who,
and lecture them
on such and such. 

Publishers out there,
I got plots to pitch,
ideas to discuss,
Ways to make you rich

But All in All, 
I'm tired of waiting
And God,
I've been praying
for that right way of saying,

Sir, would you, Uh
Ma'am, could you, Um.
What if I Uh
Maybe I could Um.

Who will find it?
my consonants of Gold, 
and vowels of Silver,
my pearls of poetry,
and rubies of writing.

Comments: Like many of us, I hope to be discovered, go “viral”. I like the “Sir, would, Uh”, shows my shyness, awkwardness, wanting and fearing fame I guess. FEEDBACK WELCOME.

Gail Debole March 2, 2020 at 5:50 AM Hi Noel, Strong poetic way of stating what many poets are striving for. Like the Uh, Um stanza a great deal. Good luck with your goal! - Gail

J Hamilton Gist April 20, 2019 at 4:40 PM I feel the same way...(who will find it??)

Chris Hagy March 17, 2019 at 3:09 PM Very nice, honest poetry Noel :)...I too like the first and last verse...but yes poetry is a "gift", and now days with all that is viral it is very hard to get rich writing...I know I wrote a book and still not rich yet :0... don't loose your inspiration though..hope it "happens" for you...enjoyed this today Noel :) Chris Hagy March 20, 2019 at 4:05 PM You can visit my poem "I Am Young"...information about and picture of my book there :) Have a good day Noel Flater March 18, 2019 at 6:04 AM Thanks Chris, back when I was much younger, I was going to write, make big bucks, and become famous. Now much older, I'm going to write and share. If you like, you can Soup Mail me about your book. :)

Richelle Rozant March 10, 2019 at 6:33 PM Ode to a writer is my favourite of ur poems. Its inspired me to research publishing my poetry Noel Flater March 10, 2019 at 7:37 PM Richelle, Inspiring a fellow writer, warms my heart. NoelsArt

Panagiota Romios February 7, 2019 at 10:33 AM Noel, there are millions of poets. I don't think it's the path to riches? I know Poets who are published. Far from rich. Our world values technology over words from our soul. I think you are a very good writer. Sharing your heart counts most. And you can self publish on line. One need not have a publisher. Nor be found, as they say. The jewel imagery is perfection Panagiota Noel Flater February 7, 2019 at 12:05 PM Overjoyed am I, that you are reading my writing! NoelsArt

Susan Mills January 27, 2019 at 2:00 PM While most don't get rich off of writing poetry it is an ambitious career path. And it can happen. I want to be a famous poet too. This is your best poem out of the ones I've read. Good luck! Noel Flater January 27, 2019 at 4:26 PM Thx for the encouragement. It helps me write.

John Conde January 22, 2019 at 2:32 AM I liked it, i always liked writers who talk about writing, im a poet a rapper, im also working on a script. Keep the dream alive brotha, it only takes one great piece of work to make the right impression on someone Noel Flater January 22, 2019 at 5:27 AM Thanks John, I like to dream too. Next, I'll publish a rap poem called "Kevin". Also, I'll check out your poems. NoelsArt

Susan Jeavons January 21, 2019 at 4:27 PM Noel, I really enjoyed your poem and the imagery. I think all poets have thought that one day they'ed make it big and get rich with their work. Some do, most don't. Some may receive fame posthumously. Noel Flater January 21, 2019 at 7:46 PM Thanks Susan, Your feedback encourages me to write more. I hope we both become rich and famous "pre-humously", if that's a word. :)

Wendy Watson January 12, 2019 at 9:41 AM I can't put it in a nutshell but I SO ENJOYED THIS POEM. I loved the idea of gems being used to represent your art of expression. It was a wonderful way to start and end a poem. Noel Flater January 12, 2019 at 10:02 AM Thanks Wendy, the word "gems" makes me realize how much poets value each word. Can I read a poem of yours?
