So I guess I won’t be getting rich off poetry

Ok Waleed


Notice of absence from Ok Waleed
I will not be posting anymore on this site, if you are interested in more of my poetry please find my works on Amazon @ Ok Waleed. Thank you.

As I type this on my iPad 

2 fingers 

like a child 

not caring about the money 

 

yet like an adult that I am 

when will this writing shit pay off 

is it really just posting and writing everyday hoping 

everyday just maybe some day 

some one will 

give you a million dollars 

haha 

how I dream like a child again 

Wanting to be a star 

shooting across the sky 

for all eyes to 

read 

 

whatever

    Well, I don't know. You could contact some publishers, but there is a cost involved.
    Erm, they won't like you calling it 'writing s**t' though!

      Then in that case I’ll be poor forever

      Okay this was killer! I love this message, but to put it frank, most poets don't live off of poetry only. It's always a side hustle. But honestly if you contact major publishers and write the next Harry Potter, then you never know 🧐. At least know that your poetry is your art and that no matter how many people (or how much money) your gaining from it, it will always reflect who you truly are. So strive to write what you feel and what inspires you! 💖✨

        I wrote my first three books for the love of poetry and art. My next book is solely dedicated to making money. If I cannot be myself while I accumulate wealth then the wealth is better off being spent by somebody else or burned. Thank you for the motivation Rocky I will continue to write how I feel and what inspires me. Even if that writing only gets me 2 dollars a day haha
