The Poet

If I had a dollar for every single time,
That I had come up with a successful rhyme.

I might actually have a wallet full of money
And I could buy something special for my honey.

But as it stands, I’m penniless and broke,
Like many other poets, and that’s no joke.

Many people I’ve met say my writing’s for the birds,
However, many here at StoryWrite seem to like my words.

Because just when I thought that life had me beat,
I won a Silver trophy for The Mid Summer Heat!!!

I never knew, how ironic it would seem,
That my best work, would be about a sex dream.

I guess that’s no surprise, no need to ring bells,
Everyone knows just how much sex sells.

But I also write about Love, sometimes pain and sorrow,
No guarantees on what I'll write about tomorrow.

I know I’ll keep writing, as long as people say,
That the words I put on paper somehow brighten their day.

So I want to send my thanks, to those at this site
For all who’ve shared comments, and to those who’ve shed light.

Thank you so much, until now I didn’t know it,
That I could be someone like, Raydog…The Poet!!!

Author notes

This was just something I threw together after finding out that I won a silver trophy in one of the contests that I entered. Just wanted to say thanks to all who've commented on my work, and especially to those who have complimented my ability as a poet. You've no idea how much that meant to me. Oh, and my apologies for using the Poet and didn't know it rhyme in the last couplet. Couldn't help myself...LOL

    This is very cute. I love the line about most poets being broke. The flow and rhyme are really good. And I guess we forgive you for the last line...lol.
