Poetry
Aye, Captain
and good lads and lasses,
a well-fed, pot bellied crew are we,
Set sail each day on these windless doldrums,
Cargo hold filled to capacity.
Ports of call where no ship can anchor,
Bottomless abyss of minds in torpor,
Some high as a kite,
Some a long, drunken stupor,
Then Stoogie arrives with his old pooper scooper.
No ill intent or foul wishes for thee,
Just a joke with rhyme akimbo,
Monkey-parrot devil-dog erasers,
We patrol this strange sea for the lost,
on our good ship, three masted
Will-o'-the-wisp chaser, her name?

I've been trying to be a published poet for years. I've sold everything but poetry...songs, essays, magazine articles...I need an agent, I think.

You've got this one nailed and slathered with tar!
GREAT!>>>comparing us crew to a crew...COFFEEEEE! And the pot belly ain't going away..."but doctor, I ate grapes and drank water...just sat on my butt answering questions all day!"
Aye, there be the lost in these waters...where be the blasted sharks when we need em? Never mind! The sharks are at Poemhunter...you and I both know that one!
High on coffee and drunk...uh, might be a possibility of THAT one later, when the shadows demand attention!
GOOD, and GREAT one here!

I don't think you've GOT to be published. You can continue to wallow in the quagmire with the rest of these dolts.
Hey! What are friends for?

Try "Poet's Market;" the new edition comes out every November. (Re "windless doldrums:" redundancy is beneath you).

Congratulations, on having fishy fingers on the end of one arm, and keep reeling them.
