Ode To a Writer

Ode to a Writer Who will find it? my consonants of Gold, and vowels of Silver, my pearls of poetry, and rubies of writing, Who will find me? So, I can be paid the Big, Big bucks?, So I can hob knob with Who's Who, and lecture them on such and such. Publishers out there, I got plots to pitch, ideas to discuss, Ways to make you rich But All in All, I'm tired of waiting And God, I've been praying for that right way of saying, Sir, would you, Uh Ma'am, could you, Um. What if I Uh Maybe I could Um. Who will find it? my consonants of Gold, and vowels of Silver, my pearls of poetry, and rubies of writing. NoelsArt Comments: Like many of us, I hope to be discovered, go “viral”. I like the “Sir, would, Uh”, shows my shyness, awkwardness, wanting and fearing fame I guess. FEEDBACK WELCOME.

Hi Noel, Strong poetic way of stating what many poets are striving for. Like the Uh, Um stanza a great deal. Good luck with your goal! - Gail

Very nice, honest poetry Noel :)...I too like the first and last verse...but yes poetry is a "gift", and now days with all that is viral it is very hard to get rich writing...I know I wrote a book and still not rich yet :0... don't loose your inspiration though..hope it "happens" for you...enjoyed this today Noel :)

Noel, there are millions of poets. I don't think it's the path to riches? I know Poets who are published. Far from rich. Our world values technology over words from our soul. I think you are a very good writer. Sharing your heart counts most. And you can self publish on line. One need not have a publisher. Nor be found, as they say. The jewel imagery is perfection Panagiota

While most don't get rich off of writing poetry it is an ambitious career path. And it can happen. I want to be a famous poet too. This is your best poem out of the ones I've read. Good luck!

Noel, I really enjoyed your poem and the imagery. I think all poets have thought that one day they'ed make it big and get rich with their work. Some do, most don't. Some may receive fame posthumously.

Thanks Susan, Your feedback encourages me to write more. I hope we both become rich and famous "pre-humously", if that's a word. :)

I can't put it in a nutshell but I SO ENJOYED THIS POEM. I loved the idea of gems being used to represent your art of expression. It was a wonderful way to start and end a poem.

Thanks Wendy, the word "gems" makes me realize how much poets value each word. Can I read a poem of yours?
