Poet of Wall Street
Ambition, fortune & the closing bell.
Step onto the floor of Poet of Wall Street, where a young trader answers the opening bell, a bull and a bear wrestle in the valley and a widow's biscuit tin is kept as safe as it had been. From a penny stock prayer to a margin call in the rain, these twenty-two poems count what money can buy and what it never can. Read them between the bells, and keep a level head.
Preview edition. Poet of Wall Street is still in progress. All 22 of its poems are drafts written in the author's style, marked Draft, and waiting for the author's review. The introduction and the 3-in-1 commentary are working drafts that are still being edited.
Wall Street is more than a street
Wall Street is more than a street. It is a bell that rings at half past nine, a bronze bull charging through hard times, a biscuit tin of savings set down on a counter, and a jar of coins waiting for the rain. In every one of them, money is tested, and so is the heart that holds it.
Poet of Wall Street gathers twenty-two poems about ambition and fortune. Some begin with a first paycheck, some with a whisper that should never have been heard, and one with a garage light burning after nine. Each one is a trade: some end in a fortune, and some end in a lesson that is worth more.
Through these pages, walk the trading floor from the opening bell to the closing bell. Read one before the market opens, and let the rest keep you steady when the screens turn red. Enjoy!
