Duotrope’s Digest is a source of markets for fiction and poetry.

It includes 918 markets that offer some sort of pay for poetry! However, there are only 15 that pay "token to semi-pro" and 30 "semi-pro to pro."

Here’s how they define the pay scale:

Token    Pays less than US $5 per poem.
Token to Semi-Pro Payment varies between token rates (see above) and semi-pro rates (see below).
Semi-Pro Amounts to payment between US $5 and US $49 per poem.
Semi-Pro - Pro Payment varies between semi-pro rates (see above) and professional rates (see below).
Professional Amounts to payment from US $50 per poem and up.

 

Nobody will get rich writing poetry.

Hilary Price said she learned to draw from Ed Emberley’s books. Since I’m having a delayed attack of arts and crafts, I ordered one of his books from the library.

I broke open Ed’s Picture Pie: a circle drawing book this afternoon. It shows me how to cut up circles, then reassemble them to make all sorts of critters. I foresee some goofy cut-and-paste in my future.
