my favorite poet
writes for ever
about relationships
i haven't read him
for a while, but
i often think of him
his fame and his ability
to plod out the words
i used to think about him
listening to classical music
thumping out poem after poem
and wonder how
now i am at 346 for you
listening to van morrison
wanting your kiss
making you poetry
i can see how passion
for beauty is beyond
what we know and
knowing life has value
In my humble opinion, you are better than the Old Bukeroo!
Starward-Led [in Chrismation, Januarius]
In thirty years of reading poetry, this is one of the finest critiques of another poet that I have seen; and it far transcends the merely academic studies---of Bukowski or of others.
