The Business End of a Poet

Poem Thumbnail

This poem-a-day business is a low budget operation,
  with only a few poems between me and literal starvation.
Although this office is held together with rubber bands and bailing wire,
  sharing poems on my own website has always been a personal desire.

My current web page is useless, it’s languished many a year.
Nothing like a pandemic to kick our collective butts in gear.
Now, I finally have time to turn my web dreams into reality,
  so I can post poems with pics and stream in high e-fidelity.

My website will have links and clickbait galore.
People will pour out their hearts as money gushes in the door!
It will be beautiful, all of it, I can so plainly see,
If I can just figure out this one little thing called IT.

Writing with paper and pen is something I do know,
and until I get a real web page, things are status quo.
May you now have time to pursue an old favorite dream;
With all of this time our hands, it’s either that or scream!
