LOL Of course, Mr G.."hope springs eternal", as some successful sage has been quoted over the centuries. You know, when I get this record deal, I'm gonna make sure I get lots of airplay on the local stations and blast off from there. I can already here the reporters...What? (are you sure?)Nevermind.. this is the poetry site
Back to some semblance of reality...You'll get another crack at it, as will they.

You got your work in print
some eyes are gonna squint
How long you say
before that day
We see you made a mint.

Yeah Mr. Ink, you quote 'em and I'll note 'em. Won't it be terrific if the book of us 52 poets made us rich...yeah, that's rich...

Yes, good luck Charlie23! It's your turn excaim

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
