Good job on the poem James. I think you sold some right there by just posting. As writer of poetry it is difficult to get ones poetry books sold. but in my own experience I have done good thank God. Not large amount but I sell what I can attending vendor booths when they have them. They also started a market theme for all crafts to put up their own tent and bring their table to sell their craft rather baked goods to hand made items.<br />

Yes, how do you get people to pick up the great book you wrote and read it? That is the question! But you see, your poem was read, once at least. Margaret Guthrie

Gatherings<br />
<br />
In quiet winter evenings,<br />
with dishes done, TV off,<br />
drapes pulled against the dark outside,<br />
I sit down to read.<br />
<br />
I choose one end of the lounge<br />
where the light is an energy-saving lamp<br />
and tuck my legs up under me<br />
ready to enjoy this private reading.<br />
<br />
There are a few nopises, the refrigerator<br />
running its cycle, the hot water heat<br />
circulating, but beyond that the silence<br />
has a cozy air of expectancy<br />
<br />
as if in the air there is something<br />
gathering, some energy…

circulating, but beyond that the silence <br />
has a cozy air of expectancy <br />
<br />
as if in the air there is something <br />
gathering, some energy whirling into, <br />
well, as if, silly me, <br />
the charactaers of this book are <br />
gathering around to listen to their story. <br />
<br />
Maybe they hear my unspoken voice and react <br />
with approval, or perhaps disapproval <br />
and vie for sympathy or understanding. <br />
<br />
In any case, I feel them come alive <br />
as I read and share their moods <br />
and I swear, I am a different person <br />
after these gatherings. <br />
