All I can say is, good luck, Jon!  I too wish that I could make a living writing haiku or sonnets, but that's not to be.  

I remember an old New Yorker story (by Martin Amis, I think) where poetry writers were treated like Hollywood script writers.  The joke was that the writer was going to debut a new sonnet, but the ad people and producers couldn't figure out how to market it.  Still, it would be nice . . .
