Love Satire

There's no money in poetry
Coz poets are the biggest fools
Penning for the love of it
Not demanding what is due
Got to change garbs now
And write songs and ad jingles
To sell some color water
And lure a billion people
You get paid a pretty fortune
And they get peptic ulcers
I'll die a rich jingler
Than live a poor poet

Meaning: The writer mocks poetry as a profession, alluding to there being no money to be made from being a poet.

- MVJ Simon (Poem: No Money, No Poet)

Poems MVJ Simon

Next to of course god america I
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deaf and dumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beautiful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?

- E E Cummings (Poem: Next to Of Course God America I)

Poems E E Cummings

A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet -
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

Meaning: Parker mocks romance and courtship in this poem.
