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 of 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.

Jan Allison April 7, 2015 at 3:34 AM I would be delighted with your success to be paid for a poem! I am trying to get my name credited to my poems I find on the web - mainly haiku that have had a photo added but not my name:-) Have had 4 responses this week so I am pursuing it:-) Hugs jan xx Jan Oskar Hansen April 7, 2015 at 1:14 PM thank you Jan
