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!

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.
