Writing for Some Dough!
The Plight of the Writer-
My fingers are numb
My ideas are shot
It's two in the morning
I've given all that I've got
My ideas are shot
It's two in the morning
I've given all that I've got
I'm tired and aching
I can't type another word
This writing for dollars
is really quite absurd.
I've typed all my thoughts
and spelled all my verbs
I've gone back and corrected
my mistakes and my blurbs.
Give me some credit,
where credit is due.
and offer me some HeadLines
a front page or two.
I am a writer you see,
and I long to be read.
So Editors please,
print me and pay me some bread.

cute poem, well done! thanks
You do understand the writing experience and convey it well.
lol. good one
Im a writer as well
with a story to tell
Words just appear
so no need to fear
Make the right choices
give in to the voices
Keep typing away
till the end of the day
Whether poetry or prose
keep at it, who knows?
Some day we will hear
and Medina we'll cheer
For the number one spot
on Amazon you'll slot
So, never say never
keep typing, be clever
And when that day comes
remember your chums...
Funny, Charlotte Kuchinsky just did something similar. Must be something in the Earth's atmosphere interfering with writing ability. :)
Excellent poem! Very simple and easy to read, good flow and humorous. Nice rhyme scheme too.
Again an eloquent way of stating in words the great business known as writing.
