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 about 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.
