As the wit said, 'Poets are born and not paid'.

Thank you for your very kind and helpful words. I'm flattered to say the least.

This has put me in a mind to write a short paragraph or two (or three, whatever) on why I write poetry, and why I write the types of poems that I do.

I'll get back to you on that one.
Love and best wishes,
Your Friend,
John.

Thank you very much for that.
lol, my username is the title to a Dream Theater cd, inspiring and compelling lyrics and a rush of musical poetry in its own right. That last pertaining to all their work really.
As for my own work, I follow the idea of, write what you know and feel. Write for you. Publishing would be cool but quite honestly I harbor no hopes for that. Thats why I post some of the things I do on here, in the hope that it might cause someone out there to stop and ponder, and to smile.

I really appreciate your words though, they do mean a lot to me, so again, thank you

I am a published writer, but poetry wouldn't pay a single bill. It's nice to have myself mentioned. I think that the younger writers realize that you write poetry for yourself;my writing for money takes hours of research and rewrites. I also avoid editors on here.

Thanks for that endorsement, I truly appreciate it. I am involved in so many things right now that my own writing suffers, not just in editorial polish, but writing in general—I’ve basically quite writing. I’m promoting people in my own online magazine and having a BLAST. I love promoting the work of others that are quality. I have a bad habit of trying to workshop an “almost story” into something worthwhile, so I’ve had to bring an editor on for fiction and a poetry editor on; they accept/reject all stories.

I’ve just been hired to take over the publication of Dark Myth Productions, filled out the tax forms and signed the 2 yr contract. They hired me as General Manager. We’ll see how that goes. I’ve hired a staff and the print magazine will be known as 2M reflecting their former online magazine “The World of Myth.”

Plus I have one project BURNING in the back of my mind like liquid fire: a love anthology. It hasn’t even begun… but it would sell millions if done right. If done by small press it will definitely sell thousands. It’s based on the success formula of Liquid-Imagination, my online magazine, involving artists, poets and writers.

Oh, I AM excited about all this stuff!! But there isn’t enough time in the day!!

YIPPIE!!!!
