I seek not
Fame or fortune, nor glory
From this untimely death, but
Death has patient wings gliding
Through this storm...

My writing's are far from unique 
Neither fame or fortune I seek 
My only claim 
To  poetry fame 
To be chosen for poem of the week....

Chartreuse with envy

In your shadow I walk

You're the toast of the town 

The whole world will talk 

Fame and fortune bound

And well on your way 

Your star will shine on 

While I waste away...

Here lies the last of the brood
Though always sloshed, never rude
Fame and fortune eluded him
So, he filled himself up to the brim
Always there when we would call
He died from drinking alcohol.

Fame and fortune
     she did not seek

   For she was humble
     she stayed meek

   Her twin brother
     chased a star

   That did her brother's
     life devour

   So, please adopt
     his sister’s view

   Let fame and fortune
     ~ come to you...

Just remember me
I have never wished
For fame or fortune
Just walk beside me
Be my confidant

I stepped into
This mighty world
As a stranger
Anyway alone

There you were
Arms outstretched
All of mine

My hand
In your

Own.

There are those who wish upon a star
to garner fame and fortune,
I wish that I could grab a bunch, 
a boon for my beloved,
directly from the shimmering night sky.

I would place some in her hair
and others at her feet,
the largest star to win her heart,
a mark of my devotion,
for the girl I hope to meet!...

My writing conceals a deeper truth
  than common sense abides

Each word unwraps a higher sense
  than fame or fortune buys

Every breath I take, the future staked
  the moment crowned as King

All beds remade where dreams have laid
  —the present everything

Life is short,
Fame and fortune i sought,
Only grief and chaos it brought,
One mornings wake, my mind harbored a thought,
To live a fruitful life and to use all talents god gifted unto me,
Looking forward with renewed purpose , i slumber with humble ambitions,
the same that great men so passionately sought......

He can barely talk
   since he was born with severe autism 
I taught him a Lemon Piper and a Nat King Cole song 
He likes music! 
But will never have a girlfriend 
or work for pay 
   Friends, if you feel bad about missing out 
on fame or fortune 
Consider the case of Gabriel - whom we love 
Be thankful you can talk!!...

My favourite film
which tells the story
of trombone player
and big band leader
Major Glenn Miller

This love story
shows his rise to
fame and fortune
and tragic death

His music
still enjoyed
by people

To this
very

day

Lorenzo Lorraine Langstoth* located the bees passing space
Three-eights of an inch,would gove them grace;
The world widely used this discovery
and copied his patent too easily-
Lorenzo found 'fame' but fortune was not to be.

In 1851 this American clergyman * made the discovery that made honey a viable commercial 
food source....

Who are we?
When fame and fortune flicker,
Falter and fade.
Will any remember?

Who are we?
As the paraphernalia pale and
Reputations no more enthrall.
Will any recall?

The sum of other's memories?
Or is there more
Days of yore?
More yesterday in store?

Is this all then?
Three score and ten!
Or can life go on?
Does love prolong?...

Im the girl
who says she rocks this world
who believe she's the one
who rocks on a guitar and sings for fun.

Im the rockstar
so tell me who you are
I shout and scream
to show you what I mean

Im this chick
who can handle this
fame and fortune
No, I dont need it.

I am this
you know, that rocker chick
she love you
she can do it......

Fame and fortune I sought,
And I found, but at high cost.
Then I found it was not all that I thought.
Then in your love I found the most.

Whispered words that fan love’s fire, inspire burning desire,
In three whispered words spoken to the heart.
To have your love is my greatest desire,
Forever entwined, never to part....

In my days of fame and fortune
I was totally unknown,
hundreds of fans never wrote to me
and nobody bothered to phone.

Remembered for what I didn’t do
and all the mistakes i’ve made,
but I can have no complaints
for I was never payed.

Not proud of my achievements
I’m doing the best I can,
and from what I see around me
I’m just an average man.Average Man...

Having been given the role of pauper,
a mere pawn in life's chess game;
I've excepted then the offer,
casting upon none blame.
Had I fame and fortune
and all its worldly acclaim;
Might not I revel in my portion
and squander away my name.
Better then, the riches of wisdom,
for me a just reward;
With knowledge as my kingdom
and all the universe mine to hoard....

I Shall Not Want 
A polluted world. 
Fame and fortune. 
To be idolized. 
The car of my dreams. 
To live outside my means. 
I shall not want. 
Be humble at heart. 
Not to be arrogant. 
I’m content where I stand. 
Have guidance through the emerald garden. 
Don’t worry about tomorrow. 
Just a few encouraging words. 
Sense of peace through gratitude. 
Psalm 23:1...

I must tell you,
I find the narcissistic personality
Somewhat disgusting --
The type who loves
Only him/herself, you see,
On the inside never adjusting,
Who obviously think
They are superior to the nth degree,
Fame and fortune lusting.
Loving to see their name in print
They seize opportunities
To say, “Look at me!”
I suspect they are secretly rusting!

Come I now to crossroads barren
No help have I which way to go
Now desert me, fame and fortune
My fickleness has naught to show

Such thoughts tend to leave me weary
steeped in mire of my own design
A windblown place, drab and dreary
with no happiness or sunshine

Know I better than there linger
Grand funk is never really grand
Hang the prize a little higher
On solid rock is where I stand...
