Making money was
never my original
plan---though I must say

It's not a bad one.
Me, I just like moving the
rich colors around.


The author's comments:
Not that being broke is fun or having money means you "sold out", but I just feel that some people forget the reasons they do the things they love, because they worry about money. Don't get me wrong, money is something to worry over. But we must remember that it's not the most important thing.

I love this! The title is dramatic yet doesn't take too much attention away from the poem itself. Great work altogether.

Please read, rate, and comment on my poems! Thanks!

This is a good little poem. It seemed a bit lacking in length, though not very much. I like the concept though.
