No One, Is Buying Poetry Comments

a true chaos...! yes, you are right...the interest in poetry is not diminished, this can be seen through a great number of membership on thousands of poetry sites and public pages...! no doubt, this is an online world time...but even then, buying or no buying, the importance of published content is unrivalled...when one goes to participate in any literary occasion, event or a festival, he is asked generally how many published books he has got on his credit...! so, in case of the absence of book-readers, the publication of book is just for one satisfaction of the poet...that yes...he is the author and owner of the book....this is enough aesthetic profit for his life-time! ! !

You could be surprised one day. Remember just how great you feel after writing it. Thank you

living a poem badly is no incentive to open a book of them. Living one well you probably don't want to be confronted by a book of 'em. So where's the market?

The truths you speak are very sad ones known as entertainment on the flat screen. Great poem. I enjoyed.

Not everyone likes poetry Only those with different highly perceptions of what beauty and joy really are And so we are lucky that though we can't equal their number we are differently made. GO POETS.

So very true though my booklets are in the library and in the archive and perhaps someone in 100 years time might dig them up, all poetry books in my library go out once a year. It would be easier to sell anthrax.

No on can ever buy my poetry. It is my heart speaking and it is not for sale. Some day someone might buy a book with my poem in it and pay a small fee to read them I hope they do and enjoy my words.

This is a great poem and like others had said, poetry is priceless. It's our passion for poetry that drives us, not money. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money. - Indian Proverb. Thanks.

agree with Valerie and Valsa poetry created with emotion expression of honesty from the heart share, valued and recognized is the highest honor that we can expect from a poem so, no matter if it is not producing money because it was not the real purpose of our works at least this is my personal opinion More than that, this is outstanding work really enjoyed to read it thanks for sharing

Though no one buys poetry, the satisfaction we get, the pleasure we derive from this 'rewardless endeavour' is amazing and worth the effort! Not many enjoy it because; It must be imbibed, Inwardly digested and Appreciated in time, Upon absorption and Reflection in quiet solitude! ! GREAT WRITE, Danny!

true poet, but such is ordained.

No-one will buy my Ebook then when I eventually get it out there - oh well, one can but try. We do enjoy each others efforts though here on PH, don't we? Enjoyed this one anyway Danny, so keep them coming.

You are so right and what a shame. A clear and complete analysis of the state of poetry in this modern world.A wortwhile write 10
