Publishers

No longer I use publishers...

some try, but all have lost.

When they agreed to publish books,

their extras, for that adds to cost.

If they must sell the book for me,

the money I pay quickly rises.

And, money I pay for books sold

just adds to their enterprises.

My pittance earned made me burn,

and I finally said, “No more.”

I publish on the Internet

and readers do now soar.

It doesn’t cost me much

and for them it is free.

O'er, forty thousand fans have come

to read my latest poetry.
