The post under discussion is a work of prose, not a poem:

To the Anonymous

A few weeks ago, this poet stated categorically that there will be no further poetry written or published until she is offered some money by anybody at all to do so.

The link is at page bottom.

No amount is specified, and no commitment implied. The donor may contact the poet to specify the number of poems thus purchased and, if they wish, the subject matter of those poems as well.

The poet is a woman of her word.

Of course there have been no takers.

Where does she think she is, anyway?

This poet presently lives at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level, and in perpetual terror of a repair on her old vehicle which, unfinanced, will result in the towing of her home and all possessions, and her own ticketing into imprisonment.
