My Poetry

               I have over 2000 poems on various internet sites, my own web site as well .

         I have helped many people in many different ways through my poetry.

          I would appreciate any advise or guidance on how to get work for a company that needs a poet. I would also like to learn how to get set up to be paid for every poem read.

I don't want to be scammed and so I've been leery on accepting any invitations I've received from potential employers.

               Thank you, Donna

hey people,

i hope you like my poems!

 and i hope you enjoy them....

see you guys later!

p.s all the diffrent colours are diffrent poems.

ANGELS HAVE WINGS, AND SO DO I, I CAN FLY TO YOU, AND HOPE I STAY ALIVE, OUR LOVE BETWEEN, YOU AND I, WILL STAY TOGETHER, AND WILL NEVER DIE.

LOVE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN KEEP, AND CLAMING ITS YOUR, BUT IN MY HEART, YOUR THE ONE, THAT WILL CARE FOR ME, LIKE NO ONE HAS BEFORE.

I THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY, AND I CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND, BUT YOUR THE ONE, THAT WILL STAY HERE FOR ME, AND MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL AND KIND.

YOUR THE ONE THAT IS HERE FOR ME, SO NEVER LET ME GO, IF YOU GO, ILL MISS YOUR SOUL, AND OUR SECRETS WILL PASS AWAY.

I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE, SO DONT EVER CHANGE, OR MY FRIENDSHIP WITH YOU, WILL BE PASSED AWAY.

I REGRET THE THING I HAVE DONE TO YOU, I HOPE YOU TRUST ME, ONCE AGAIN, AND BE MY FRIEND.

I AM HUNGRY FOR LOVE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER GO.

EVERY MOMENT I SPENT WITH YOU, ALL MY BEAUTIFUL DREAMS, HAVE COME TRUE.

EVERY TIME I GO TO SLEEP, I DREAM OF YOU, I HOPE YOU KNOW, THAT IM HERE FOR YOU, AND OUR BEAUTIFUL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE.

EVERYTHING I SEEM TO DO, I FALL DEEPER INLOVE WITH YOU.

A "company that needs a poet"?  Have you tried greeting card companies?  You should also think about investing in a copy of "The Writer's Market Handbook" - it lists publishers and what they are looking for in the way of submissions.

Have you considered songwriting?  That is related to poetry and artists are always looking for good material.

If you are looking for a way to "commercialize" your poetry you might want to take a look at my "Working From Home" blog at:

http://roseb44170.blogspot.com

Here is a quick excerpt that I got off the internet:

"Let me give you the upshot of this book in a quick thumbnail. Yes, it is possible to make a living as a poet, no matter what your mother told you. But you must remember two important points if you want to make a living as a poet: first, you will not make a living at writing poetry. Second, you must do something no one has ever done before.

This book is full of examples of people who make a living (or part of a living) as poets, and the ways they do so. And none of them make their living by sitting in their garrets inscribing verse. They all find ways to get out into the community and sell themselves, AS POETS, as a commodity that people are willing to buy. "
