seven things
My take on 7 things you should know about being a poet:
1) Pobiz and poetry are mutually exclusive.
2) You should make a life and then be a poet too.
3) Though some may dress unusually, poets are not exotic creatures. Black is always in fashion.
4) If you’re prone to envy, poetry is not going to be a satisfying endeavor for you. Bitterness is sure to set in.
5) Poets may make little money, yet one might say they live in a state of privileged impoverishment.
6) Poets who need writing prompts and exercises to produce poems should give up the art.
7) Poetry is a sweet slow poison.
