Some people want to be poets but aren't good enough to be published. They work regular day jobs and write poems all their lives, but never sell anything to the poetry press. I have a suggestion for them: write song lyrics instead.
Song lyrics aren't held to the same high standard to which poems are held. What's more, song lyrics can make tonnes more money than poems. If just one of these songs becomes a big hit, the lyricist will rake in more money off that one song than a good poet will make in a lifetime of writing superior poems.
