Friday Writings # 114...Poets and Story Tellers United

 The Secret of Success

 

if you want

a show of 

popularity

love and respect

devoted attentive

generous friends

be super wealthy

and well connected

or attach yourself to someone who is

then

watch it all fall away

in a heart beat

if circumstances change

then

 sit on the beach

preferably with a gorgeous pauper poet

 


breathe a sigh of relief to be out of there

and laugh your head off

  2. Oh, I'll take the beach and the gorgeous pauper poet any time! (Ha ha, come to think of it, I AM the gorgeous pauper poet! So the beach is still preferable, even on my own.)

  3. Yeah, the wealthy and well-connected have so many friends. Until they don't! I'll take a beach by myself any old day.

  4. Your poem makes perfect sense! I'm good with that ending!
