Poor Man - Μπατίρης Poem by Kostas Lagos

Poor Man - Μπατίρης

Rating: ★5.0


I'm always out of time

Struggling to make a rhyme

The road of poetry

Leads to poverty

I should consider being a mime





Τον χρόνο ποτέ δεν είχα φίλο

Παλεύω να πετύχω ένα στίχο

Η ποίηση είναι φταίχτης

Που κατάντησα επαίτης

Καλύτερα να έκανα τον μίμο

Ha ha yes poets do not earn much other than leaving a legacy for others to cherish once they are gone. Profound.
