A Fan Of Bukowski Poem by Francis Duggan

Of the long deceased poet Charles Bukowski One Robert Vanderhope is a fan
He says with words Bukowski was mighty he was an extraordinary man
Lines from his poems he often does quote the words of the poet does live on
The words of the man are living long after the life from him has gone

You mention by name to him great poets he will say they are worthy of note
But to him they don't rate with Bukowski who will always be his favorite poet
I cannot say he is wrong in his thinking Bukowski as a poet was great
His poems do belong to the ages in his written words such beauty he did create

Bukowski he did live his writings one who did come up the hard way
His poems read by many poetry lovers in the English speaking World of today
He was one who did live his verses his poems to this testify
As a poet true greatness of Charles Bukowski is something none ought to deny

When it comes to poets and poetry Robert Vanderhope knows what he is on about
His favorite poet is Charles Bukowski of that he doesn't leave you in doubt
He has read and written much poetry one can say of him a well read man
But Bukowski remains as his favorite of the deceased poet he is a loyal fan.
