Ah, I see what you mean about the hemispheres, John.
It is amazing to hear you speak of money for poems. How do you do it?
I once received $50 for a poem, years ago - and from an Oz mag, too!
But nothing since.
One of my problems is that I lack the money-making gene - and the very last thing I am is a salesman/businessman.
I sort of feel that if I got myself into the business of trying to make money from hawking poems around, I might as well cut to the chase and get a job with an insurance company.
Also, given the nature of the world, there are plenty of folk out there who can spot a possible buck, and no agent has ever tried to sign me on - which I take as a sure sign that there just ain't no bucks in po-biz.
Well, let's be accurate here - no bucks for the likes of my stuff.
