Clearly Bukowski is writing from experience here, and rather nicely I think. There is so much pain in his work, so much that is personal that I am drawn to it like a moth to a flame. And we'll all burn in hell together. (Report)Reply

next time take my left arm or a fifty
but not my poems:
I'm not Shakespeare
but sometime simply
there won't be any more, abstract or otherwise;
there'll always be mony and whores and drunkards
down to the last bomb,

A very nice poem.
Thank you poet. (Report)Reply

Once I wrote to Viggo Mortensen for a couple years. Multi-volume sets were burned- the only copies- as hearts and minds wandered lost in deserts without water, pleading with mirages- so I definitely feel for Charles and his whole whore situation. (Report)Reply

I can't imagine how I will feel if someone stole my poetry booklet. I am happy to only imagine and not to experience it (Report)Reply

Buk! Although I admit not being an avid accolador of your verse...I like this...Can ya' 'ere me now, Buk? ! I said, I LIKE THIS PARTICULAR POEM OF YOURS...Furthermore, if this be a true life storyline, I owe ya more reads as I thought I knew a good deal 'bout your life, but never knew 'bout the hijacking uv yer' quillings....BTW: Last 3 lines, unfortunately...all too true...10-4 Buk! ~FjR~ (Report)Reply

from the heart and guts.the only poem i've ever given a 10 to on here.And the image of God crossing his legs and lamenting the lack of poetry, is one that will live with me and very apt. (Report)Reply

Stealing poetry is the same as destroying it, it's as much a part of you as anything else. An great poem, brilliantly written. (Report)Reply
