Replying to Avatar Sacred Peak

This is a good thought experiment and/or a a question to hold and let it rattle around.

I am thinking that I will have to publish a book to make any fiat$ or BTC. There's just no way to monetize poetry without paywalling it. Poetry and Zen commentary is already niche enough that a paywall makes it unworkable.

Another idea is to teach/offer a course.

the timeless problem poets face :)

it’s why poetry is historically performance, I suppose

somewhat but even then it is niche. I had a conversation with a US Jazz Singer last summer by accident in a café. we laughed about a poetry reading of haiku. it's just silly. 🤣

even teaching poetry is difficult. it's not 5 7 5, it's not iambic pentameter , it's not rhyming. it is a presentation of Mind and is only possible to be understood Mind to Mind outside of words and ideas. Anyone can write a 3liner. a haiku is not a 3 liner, it must turn around a point or unexpected turn.

upside, unlike other art forms, you get to keep your work and share it too 🤗

always think of Wisława Szymborska who published like 300 poems in her lifetime? what a master, but yeah, making a life that way is as much an art as the art itself
