Living By Pocket Change

Kenny O'Donnell

With less
than £10 in my bank account
and only Half
that in pocket change
i'm left to wonder if success
is just around the corner
like it was
for all those poets
I admire or if
I'll end up like
the other ones
who I like even more

    Wonderful write, lovely sense of humour, enjoyed the read

    Guess time alone will tell. Artists either required patrons whose will they were obligated to honour, or else lived and died unknown. Countless left to such a fate, this is beautifully rendered with lovely imagery and a delicate poignancy. Thank you for sharing, and thereby raising the question.

    Suffering the key to good poetry. A poem that senses this and speaks to it. Very nice
