The Hungry Poet Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

The Hungry Poet

Rating: 4.8


I watch him closely
And smile at him; he smiles back;
I comb my hair back,
He does so and nods;
We stand on the same floor,
Same distance from the wall;
I can measure his lean body,
It is 154cm as mine.
He weeps when I ask him
How much he earns writing poems;
Drops of tears fall across
His dry chest and vanish in the
Hollow of his belly.
I open a book
He does so;
To read him my poems.
He turns away;
Me too;
Mirrors do not lie.

I get paid more than £145 to £395 per HOUR for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily £23k from this without having online working skills. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here's what I do__________ PAYS11.COM
