“I pay my debts in words.” Rick Christiansen
They won’t pay my bills,
won’t buy cat food.
They can’t pay my rent,
put gas in my car.
They won’t win lotto,
or a chance at a slot machine.
They are mine,
my gift to the universe.
I can share them
and smile in the received approval
by audience.
They are my vision,
my muses and words.
I pay debts to society
with my work.
Nice use of language to make your point that there are different kinds of debts and different ways to pay back those debts.
Thanks for your comment and enjoying my poem.
Love the use of another’s words to convey the paying back and paying forward with words. Universal and well done!
