Ideas on how a poetry could help make honest cash
 
Hello good friends on Jf...I was actually just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how a poet could make some honest side money by using this craft while working a job and waiting on things to come together. Any ideas are welcome plz and thank u all.

That must be hectic...But I love all music and all lifestyle thats what hip-hop life has taught me...In many ways I've learned to achieve a sense of enlightenment through honest, meaningful rap music

Would anyone else happen to have suggestions?

you could write poems with obvious connotations about death/nature/love and hopefully your poem gets introduced to the school syllabus for english and the cash and reputation will be rolling in. And when that happens, keep their interest by announcing something outrageous.
e.g: Carol Ann Duffy/

But that rarely happens. Its a long hard road..and 90% of people get no where with it. Modern poetry just isn't what it used to be anymore. I would pick Byron/Keats over Modern poetry ANYDAY.

The other path is to turn your poems into lyrics and write songs for them, learn how to play guitar and how to sing and become a music legend like Robert Zimmerman and then you'll be rich.

It's your choice :) .

.....UHHHHHHHHHHH....I kinda like choice #2:confused: :)
